My girlfriend asked me to marry her. I'm 15; she's 17. We plan on getting married on my 18th birthday. I really do love her. Even though we are waiting until I am 18, do you think I am rushing into things? It's not like I can't change my mind before then.

At that age, you two haven't even gotten to know your own true potential in life as individuals. And who says you can't be an individual while being in a relationship. But if you don't give yourself the time to get to know yourself as an adult in the adult world, how will you manage an adult marriage or an adult relationship? The choices we make now guide and wheel our own fate.

If you're saying "I can change my mind before then" then you aren't sure enough to get married.

Before you get married, you should have a plan for your life. Include when you want to own a home, when you want children, and of course marriage. Base it on how you think you will advance in your chosen career. Your girlfriend will love you and be with you if it is meant to be, but you really do have to be practical where marriage is concerned. It's the biggest decision you'll ever make, and the foundation you will be building your entire family on.

Are 15 year olds even potty trained? I'd wait alittle longer...

We can't compete against love but the advice I'll give my daughter is get the education. Get the job. Get your own place, be independent. Know what its like to spend your own money. You can have a boyfriend but wait on marriage...............

At your age, 3 years is an eternity

I must say I wouldn't base my marrage on somthing someone else says that you don't know.
-
No offense, but you are far too young to be making that sort of decision. If I were you, I wouldn't even think about marriage for at least 10 years.

just a little rushed....why do you want to get married at such a young age? what is so bad about just dating for now? when your dating you can always change your mind about being together. but when you're married its not like you can just break up..its a little more complicated than that. you should just take your time and enjoy life at the age that you are right now.think deeply about it, because it's an important discion that will be made between the both of you.

just wait till 18. if ur still together then go ahead with it?

Dude... don't get tied gone. Too many girls out there. you probably haven't even finished high school. I was stuck w/ the same guy all during high school- wasted soo much time on him and missed out on some great opputunities. Don't get serious @ least until your senior year of college.

It seems to me, that all your doing now is just arguing with people. If your really confused, you wouldn't keep arguing in defense. it seems you've made up your side on things already before you even asked the question. But no matter what choices we make, good or bad, we all learn from them no matter what perspective we gain. No one is really telling you what's right or wrong here, because only you can make that decision. My though... Before you answer questions truthfully to yourself, you need to be true to yourself first. :)

Why do you want to marry her? Just wondering.

Slow down...you are moving way too fast. Enjoy what you have now otherwise if you move to quickly you will destroy it. People your age need to find out a lot more about themselves before they can share their entire life with another human being. Trust me, what feels like the love of your life today could easily turn into something horrible if you don't take the time to develop your own individual life. I'm not sure I understand the rush. Perhaps it has something to do with a need to get away from your parents or start a new life free from prejudice or judgment. You can't run away from problems, so if that's the case you need to find another way to deal with them. I am sure you feel like everything is wonderful right now, but you haven't experienced enough, or grown enough to know what's best for you yet. There will be lots of love in your life and plenty of opportunity to settle down when the time is right. This is not the right time... Got a question for me? www.mrgoodadvice.com

I'm not seeing anything wrong with your plan, honestly. What most people are saying though, is still true; things change - and you are changing - dramatically from now until you are eighteen. And as things stand today you and your fiance would be hard pressed to make a comfortable living without college which is very demanding and not very couple-friendly. Children can also be somewhat time consuming. . You seem to understand that this commitment to getting married is not the same as the commitment of actual marriage, that is to say it may not work out despite your and her good will and sincere efforts. . In the meantime there is something admirable in agreeing to be exclusive with each other for the time being. . I hope things go well for you both, whatever that turns out to be.
