Hello. I am eighteen and I am really confused about how I feel for my boyfriend. I know that I am extremely young to even be having seriuos thoughts; however, I really feel as if I have found the right one. I think my boyfriend coud be the man that I spend the rest of my life with. We have been dating for two years and we are very comfortable with each other. I have never wanted to get married until I was at least twenty-eight or so, but our relationship is stronger than I could have imagined. There are plenty of college kids getting married that don't have the relationship that my boyfriend and I have. I know we won't get married but I have a few questions to ask you:
1. should I continue to stay with my boyfriend and simply wait until we're older?
Or
2. should I date other guys, just to see if I have a similar connection? (I believe that if we are meant to be together, we will be together in the end.)

I say stick it out, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but if it's good, why mess it up?

Obviously that's just my opinion though.

I will tell you I was married when I was 18. I have been married for just over 2 years now. I do not think you are too young to be thinking about marriage at all. I think it is a good thing. I think if you think you and your boyfriend are ready then you need to discuss it. Make a plan

I agree with Kutie, if you really want to get married and you have discussed it thoroughly and THOUGHT IT THROUGH very well, then your decision should be a good decision, whatever way you choose.

I agree if your relationship is good, then don't mess it up.

If you are right for each other when does it matter when you get married. If you have any question on if your too young why not wait?

Ak,

Let's see, let me count the reasons not to marry at 18.

My wife and I eloped to Maryland when we were 18. Bonnie called me up and asked me what I was doing that weekend and if I wanted to marry her. I said sure, what the hell.

That is the Gospel truth of our total preparation for marriage. The date was July 10, 1965.

We have been married 42 years now and I still blessed that this lady and I chose each other.

There is no perfect age to get married. I don't think anyone can predict what age they will be when they will decide to get married like you said "28." If it happens when you are young than it happens when you are young, and if you don't find the right person until you are 40 than so be it. If you think you found the person for you than go for it. I am 20 years old, and I just got married 6 months ago, and it was the best decision I've ever made. So go for it!!

Answer To Number One... Yes Definitely Wait Till Your Older I Know How It Feels Being Madly in love and thinking about marriage early.

Answer to number two... no stick with the guy your with if you think you will spend te rest of your lives together he's probably the one !
