I think you already know the answer. If you are asking whether you are too young, then obviously you are. It seems to me that you are on the fence about this, it's best to wait until you know for sure that this is the right time to get married. Also, you can't live without him? That's not a reason to get married. There is nothing to lose by waiting, if you really love each other now, then that love should still be there in 7 or 8 years, so no hurry. I say wait, 17 is way to young to get married, and marriage isn't easy even when you are old enough. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Good luck.

"I can't live without him anymore."

So why are you asking our thoughts on the matter? I wonder if you have some real reservations about the whole thing and you think some adult opinions might be helpful.

I do commend you for your wisdom of asking for the wisdom of others. I suspect you are going to get some helpful answers here. Watch for them.

In my opinion (and this may take some thought), a person is not mature enough to live with someone until that person is mature enough to live without that someone.

You are welcome to ask for explanation or clarification if the meanining does not come through.

Well if you ask me I think yes you are till too young, but if the love between you guys is so strong then I require you guys wait a few more years because there's nothing like true love and also isn't it better to wait now for each other instead of saying had I known later so it's just a few years you guys can wait but if you think you are matured and really can't wait well no ones the boss of your life.

Listen this is what you do if your ready and you love him nobody's comments should matter but if you get the feeling that you are to young but you love him then tell him that your not ready and if he love's you like he says he does he will wait for a while:D

Reading your post I have a feeling that many people have told you that you are to young to be married . I myself have to agree I think 18 is to young, but I don't think it makes a difference what people tell you, I think that in the end you will get married because it's what you want. I feel that in cases such as this people have to learn from their mistakes (I'm not saying you are not in love or anything but it's just a fact that most teen marriages don't last.)
Just realize you are only young once and being young goes by very fast. You wouldn't want to rush away your life just because you love someone. It's okay to be in love and not be married.
