If I had married the guy that I was "madly in love with" when I was 19, I`d be divorced with 3 children by now. You are not necessarily too young to have those feelings or get married for that case, however you are too inexperienced to be able to reflect on past relationships to see whether he is already the one. Take it slowly, if`s it right now it will still be right in a year.

Yes you are. A 1 month courtship seems laughable if you expect that it will end in a lifelong marriage. I have no doubt that your feelings are strong, just give them a little time to develop and mature before you make a decision as big as entering into marriage. Wait a year or two and then decide. Remember, you are still very young, give yourself some time to grow and mature. You need to know who you are as a person before you can even begin to understand what you want or expect out of a marriage. At 19, you are still growing, so give yourself to learn who you are first.

It sounds kind of fast to me, but that is just my opinion.

I dont` believe it is to soon to be talking marriage, if you know he is the one. I do though however think it is to soon to be getting married. My fiance and I met in october and we are getting married in May and I know he is the one. My first husband I had known since I was sixteen and got married when I was twenty one. And we only lasted 2 1/2 years. And look how that turned out. Also if I would have married the man I was madly inlove with at 19 I probably would have still been married to him. We didnt` get married because he had to leave for two years for religious reasons. I got married to my ex husband while he was gone, big mistake. I do not believe you are to young to have those feelings. Do what your heart and soul tells you to do. And if you are religious pray about it. I believe you will do the right thing, just take your time in actually gettting married.

You maybe too young. But I am 25 and he is 27 and we together for 2 months and we started talking about marriage but once the fake smile and real fights came out we put that on the back burner. Now we have been together for 8 mths and we got engaged xmas . I am a lot calmer and tings are wonderfull and I KNOW he is the one. Good Luck

Just remember that too often than not, that feeling of "he`s the one" is simply infatuation that often fades as you really get to know the person.

Age is subjective. I wouldn`t say that you are too young necessarily.
However, I would be careful about things moving too fast. I married a person I had been with only a few months, and I wound up divorced from a heroin addict. You`re young and you have time to wait and such.
There isn`t anything wrong with talking about marrying the person you love someday though.

I agree, your definately moving to fast. Take it from me, I did marry the guy I was in love with when I was 19, now I`m the divorced mom with 3 kids. Good Luck!

Why the hurry? If there is no reason that you should marry him that quickly than I would wait. My fiance and I started dating when I was 16, I will be 24 when we get married in July. I have changed a lot since then, and so has he. You can still lead a happy couple life with out having a marriage license.
