I wouldn't worry about what others say. As long as your happy, then that's all that matters. Your still young, you have lots of time ahead of you to get married if you want to. Wait until you find the right person. A lot of people don't marry until they are in their 30's or 40's. They want to make sure the person they marry is the right person for them to spend the rest of their life with. I say ignore the remarks from people and enjoy your life.

2-3yrs should be enough time to know whether or not you want to get married. But if you know you want to be together for the rest of your lives, then why wait. It could only take you a week to realise you want to marry each other. And it could be the best decision you ever make. It all depends on the individual.

I don't think you should be worried at all.  If it is really important to you to have kids then it would be ideal for you to be married by 32-ish...BUT the best advice I have ever been given is this:  Live your life and enjoy every second of it...if you worry too much about who you're gonna marry and win, you might get so wrapped up in it all that you miss him entirely.  \n\nEnjoy life.  Love will come.

I agree, it's probably not the most logical place to ask "is it a good time to get married"... only YOU can answer that.  well, you and your boyfriend.\n\nYou are on the right tracking thinking about finances and feelings.  Continue to discuss things with your boyfriend.  Where will you live?  Does he have a stable job?  Does he have or want children? Do you?  When?  Who will care for them?  How will you raise them?  Discuss reglion.  How will this come into play with children.  Have your families met?  Do you have the same goals and values?\n\nMarriage is awesome!  It's important to really think about it and plan for it.  So while I may have teased you a little for asking "should I think about marriage"- I think it's good you ARE thinking and planning.  Go with the flow and let things happen naturally.  If it's the right time to get married/engaged, you and your boyfriend will know it.  In the mean time, start talking about goals and longer term plans with him.

Although it is already legal to get married at your age.  I don't think you're not emotionally ready.  If you really love one another, it doesnt matter even if you'll be separated for some time.  If you love someone, there is loyalty and committment.\n\nYou will start from scratch.  Considering that you have no money, you may have some financial issues.  \n\nDon't get married just out of your fears.  Get married when you know that he really is the man who you want to spend the rest of your life with, and be the father of your kids.

I just got married and im 21....my husband is 21 also and we are very happy.  We have know each other for years and are both working with great jobs.....He is a US Marine and i am a teacher.  I dont think u can put a number (age) for marriage.....i dont think it works that way.  Its about the way you feel and if you yourself is ready for something as big as marriage.  Age is just a number.

It's doesn't matter if you're in school, what matteris how mature you both are.\nMy husband and I were both 19. We were on our own, had stable jobs (I was in the Navy and he was in the Marine Corps), were financially independent, and more mature than most our age. We didn't like going out and partying or drinking (we out grew that stage in high school) and we knew we loved each other. It worked for us but it is harder. Statistics are against us but we know we'll last. \nThere are advantages to waiting but if you really love one another, and you'll willing to deal with extra issues (it is very hard) then get married now.

Companionship, love, to have a family, loneliness, doesn't hurt to join incomes either. No one wants to be old & alone, young looking for safe sex, & most of are want to marry our eternal mates & have lovely families. 33 years of marriage & would not change a thing, I love him as more today than ever. Had all our family over this week for Son's new baby & there were 58 of us.\n"We are family" I highly recommend marriage.

I'm ready to get married. I have finished two degrees (BA and Masters), and have a clear plan for what I feel the rest of my life should be like - the pursuits, the activities, the financials, etc. I am tired of casual dating, and want to connect with someone on a deeper level. I am considering a child, but I am really undecided on children - STILL - so it's NOT the biological clock thing. It's not a factor at all.

Why would you not get married its not like you are 65 years old. I no real hurry just wait for your real love to find you. You will see that every thing that you have done has been to prepare you for that real love.

Why do you want to marry this person?  If you're planning on marrying so some man will support you, he's obviously not dependable for that.  If you are ambitious on your own you will move to where you can find work or get training to find work, and then you probably won't appreciate him trying to mooch off of you.  \n\nSomeone who is 34 and educated or trained and trying to live off someone else is way too immature to get married.  He may be a charming and loving boyfriend but someone who acts like an adolescent at 34 will make for a totally miserable marriage.  You've got a major problem on your hands.

It is society that saids that.  As a kid you are taught that one goal in your life is to grow up and get married and live happily ever after.  Many people do want that is there lives, whether it be getting married very young to get married later in life.  But not all people need to get married, some I believe are happier single than married.  You should do what feels right for you and not pay attention to anyone else.  If you want to be single then be single if you want to get married then do that.  Make your own decision and do what you need to do to be happy.

Once your of legal age, only you can make the choice if your too young or not.  I will tell you from experience though the younger you are when you get married the harder it is to make it long term.  The reason is that there is just a lot of life to experience and live in the next 6 or so years of your life.  I wish you luck because I know that your going to do it regardless of anyones opinion.  So just stay true, and never give up.

I understand where you are coming from and I too am single and feel that I will be forever unless I do something pretty soon!. I am a very lovely and single, beautiful 33 year old and grown out of pubs and clubbing where there are streams of teenagers and mid twenties.  \n\nThere is no where in my town appropriate for people of my age socializing-wize and used to meet my partners whilst at University so now I am no longer a student, this makes things akward again!.  Everywhere I go, I see married couples and loved-up youngsters or singles like myself. Most are all now on the internet but I am so wary of that stuff when there are married men posing as single on these sites and men who post on every sight in search of more than one love-interest.\n\nIt is diffocult I must admit but the trick is to remain optomistic and be very specific about what you are looking for in a man and then go to places that you are most likely to meet these types of men. Bars and clubs are okay, but there are a lot out there looking for fun only and unless you are prepared for that and happy with it until you get to know a guy, then sitting around will do not much good either.\n\nI am more conscious as I have gotten older but also more decided about what I want in a man and that is friendship.  This is the best basis for all relationships to be lasting.  I am determined to be married but once I get myself off my but and start making things happen.
