Young and in love

intendedsighs · Apr 23, 2007, 04:59 PM

Okay, for starters, I just want to say that I'm sick and tired of people looking down on people who marry young. I turned 20 in March, and I would have gotten married 4 years ago if I had met my fiance then. From the beginning, no one believed us when we said we were going to get married, not even my fiance's own parents! But that changed after I bought my wedding dress. However, even my best friend at the time (we rarely talk now) said I should wait until I had fulfilled my goals and finished school and all that...the thing was, my only goal in life is to be a good wife and mother, and that's what I'm going to do. So, no matter how many people look down on it and think I should wait...it doesn't matter. I know I love my fiance with everything in me and I know I want him to be the one I spend the rest of my life with and have a family with, and that's that.

I got married young - I don't regret it. When you know something is right - you know. Why do you have to wait for your life to start? You are of legal age - you know what you want - so why wait?
Yes, you do grow more as you age. You won't be the same girl at 25, 30 etc. as you are now. But, who is to say you don't grow together?

Age has nothing to do with love. I wish you the best in life. However, do you not think it is better to wait until you are both able to support one another on your own. Bills need to be paid, marriage is more then just being married to each other. There are responsibilities. Do you both work? Can you live on your own and pay the bills incurred? If you truly love one another that won't change, my advice would be to get affairs in order and save your money.

We loved and love each other. My family thought we were too young, and His family DID NOT want us to marry, but we did. I don't regret it one bit. I'll have a chance to go to college, I'm only 19 now.
I'm not missing out on anything, I have my husband and that's the only person I need for me to be happy. We do everything together.
We have learned to be strong and we have showed EVERYONE that WE MADE IT and ARE MAKING IT. It's the best feeling in the world.
ALL I can tell you is that if you feel that you are ready and you love that man, do it. You shouldn't worry about other people, because in your marriage it's only you and your husband.
Remember that you don't have to call it quits to everything, if you want to go to school, go.
Good Luck and let me tell you that I know how you feel
