If you are still in school, living with your parents, not self sufficient, and still question each other's love.. then you are way too young..
Some people mature faster than others.. but I would tell you to enjoy your single life while you can.. marriage is a total commitment and you should be ready for it .. in every way..

It differs upon the circumstances.
But some reccomendations I have are as follows:
1. Make sure you have dated the person a few years.
2. I reccommend living with the person first to know their living habits, etc.
3. Make sure you both want the same out of the relationship.
4. Wait until you have gotten to know yourself. After marriage things change tremendously:) Free time is next to zero.
5. Make sure you get along with the person:) Don't let stress get the best of you.
6. Both of you should wake up every morning and think, "What can I do to make this person have a happier, much easier day"?
7. Love the person,just as much, through tough times and not so tough times. Things are not going to be easy all of the time, that's life.
8. Remember: When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is impossibility. And yet, this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life and love, is in growth, in fluidity, in freedom- in the sense that the dancers are free, barley touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.
That last one came directly from my wedding vows:)

You should date for at least 1.5 years. In that time you should be in the same general location. No long distances dating.
You should also be engaged for at least a year.
You learn a lot about people as time goes on. I really don't believe you full know someone after only 6 months or even a year. Yes, you can learn about them after the marriage, but why chance it.
If you love someone, they will stick around. Get married after knowing each other for at least 2.5 years.

This is a subjective question but couples must understand that marriage is not just about committment. You will also need to assess the financial issues among other things. It is best that before couples get married address such issues, else it will become one of the common things that will result in fights daily.

If you don't have the ability to take care of yourself, then you're not ready to get married. If you're not able to make your own decisions, then making the decision to get married should be deferred until you can make up your own mind.
