My boyfriend and I are both 21 and have been dating for a year and a half.
I'm in school right now and will be done in three years (I'll finish with masters). My parents have told me that they'd pay for my schooling as long as
I don't get married, plus they really believe in getting an education first before
being married. We were fine with that until these past few months. We both have always had the idea of date to marry, God has already told us, yes this is the person I have for you, and we recently took a class that dealt with every aspect of marriage and what couples should discuss and know before they get married, it confirmed what God has told us and it has ignited us even more to get married sooner. I want to know what you think. Is getting married the best thing, or should we wait? Thank you for your help!
Reasons to get married
Gain independence from parents
Start our life together and begin to build a healthy and godly marriage
Develop a better relationship with my parents
Choose the church we want to go to and plug into community groups they have for our age group (Long story)
Be able to become one physically, emotionally, and spiritually
Not flee from sexual temptation anymore
Reasons not to get married
Save ourselves from having debt in the future
Save ourselves the pressure of making sure we'll be able to support ourselves every month
Be obedient to parents
The argument of: You have the rest of your lives to be together, why not wait just three more years
