I'm happy for you guys but in my opinion you are both seriously young to be thinking about marriage.
Maybe it's just me but I'm 20 and I don't even want to think about spending the rest of my life with a person. That's a huge commitment.
I wasn't thinking about it either until she came into my life. It's just one of those things that come and smack you across the face and change your entire outlook on something. If I didn't believe in her, I wouldn't even consider engagement. Yeah, I'm pretty damn young and talking about marriage at this age is absurd, but I honestly don't feel awkward thinking about it. It's just something that I believe to be the right path for me to choose.
It is a pretty insane commitment but if you meet a person who just makes you think, "What the forget have I been doing with my life", you might be on the verge of considering that insane commitment. xD
Okey dokey, goodnight, guys.
for desperate people, quick marriage is the more short-term emotionally secure option; then they don't have to brave the adult dating world like normal people (until their crappy relationship eventually breaks down due to both of them changing when they grow up)
You are the most positive person I have ever met. I bet a lot of people love to hear your advice. :)
