My girlfriend and I are 21 and I plan to propose to her in the next 6-10months. So the question I propose to you guys is, how young is to young.
We were talking last night and supposely she believes some of her family will think we are to young. We've been together since we were 16yrs old. We're high school sweethearts, and we both know we are the ones for each other. We currently live together(moved in together 2 months ago), and her mother knows we will eventually get married. However my girlfriend believes her parents may say, you need to finish school and for some reason she thinks her mom will say your to young to get married, but in reality her mother was 19 when she was married, so to me for her to say that is being a bit of a hypcroite(spelling). Not to mention I fully support her to finish school and nothing would ever change for he to finish school. I know she will finish school simply because she's worked so hard to do it. We obviously will not be getting married for at least a year, maybe a year and a half. Also she is afraid some family friends may think were to young to, but I said to her if they are that paraoid and wont love you the same before the engagement, they truely shouldnt be in your life. Your loved ones will love you no matter your decision, because in the end its your life and not theres.
My girlfriend believes a 2 year engagement is to long of an engagement, but I think it may be the correct thing to do. Maybe a year and half would be more ideal, she'll be 23, I'll be 22ish, and to me that is plenty old enough to be married. She wants to have kids around 25-27 so she can still be a young mom, which I agree because my parents were "old" parents when they had me (34m, 36d).
Also, she wants to get engaged but she is worrying that about her family. I plan to ask her parents permission and explain to them everything that I know they may be worried about.
So what do you guys think is to young to be married. I believe young is 18,19, not 23. I think the usual age nowadays is 23-25, but am I wrong?
