Am I Too Young To Get Married?

Hi
Im 14 years old and engaged to the love of my life. I`ve known him since I was four years old and fell in love with him then. He`s 18. We`ve decided to get married when I`m 21. Is that to young? I honestly don`t feel like waiting that long. My friend just turned 15 and is engaged, and her and her fiancee are getting married in January of 2008. I know she will be too young for that, but will I be? And what about our age difference? Is that a problem too??

You have so much living to do! Be young and single for a while! I realize that it seems harsh, but you are too young to date just one person right now, even if you do love him. You need to spend time with friends and live a little, and if he loves you he will wait for you. 21 will come soon enough - and (shame on him!) he`s old enough to know better then to date a girl who`s just barely in highschool. Make him wait and date other people your own age for a while - or don`t date at all and have fun with your friends.

I have been with the same guy since i was 11. I am now 18, we have a 5 yr old together, we have been engaged since i was 12, He was 14 when he proposed. We have a house together, and we are expectin our 2nd child. Our wedding date has been set since we got engaged, the date is November 13, 2010. Kyle and i have finished high school, he is attending college andi begin college in the fall. Friends have told me that we messsed our livers up when we were younger....i beg to differ....he helped me grow up and realize that i will need someone to help me threw my life, and im realy glad that i hae kyle. Yes it was hard @ first to tell his oarents and mine that we were young and pregnant but our daughter Sierra has helped us threw really hard tiems and it makes me thankful that i have a guy like Kyle in my life. I feel blessed that my family likes him and his family likes me. Kyle came from a farm and i did to. Our wedding is camo themed and our honeymoon is going to be spent inthe tree stand. Kyle will be 21 and i will be 18 whem we get married. If we had it our way we would have gotten married when he was 14 and i was 12. Rachel, no i do not think that 14 is to young to get engaged and 21 is not to young to get married. If you hve any doubt during your relationship always follow your heart. It gives the best advice you can receive. GOOD LUCK!
