sweethearts....

[abelieverinChrist05]

Childhood sweethearts and high school sweethearts are likely to marry at a young age, what age do you think they should marry? What if the guy already has a steady job, they both graduated from high school?

If everything is stable and one of them is able to support the both of them then I would say that you probably don't want to get married with any partner being younger then age 20.

However there are a lot of factors that go into figuring out when you should get married. And how long you've been together is only one of them.

If we are talking about you, then age wise I think you are fine. But I always tell people to go to premarital counciling and to come to the same page on finances, children, religion etc.

There needs to be some amount of logical almost businesslike agreements and discussions on how the family will be run, future plans etc. Only considering how you feel about the person when you look at getting married is a horrible idea. Of course thats a major consideration, don't get me wrong. But those feelings might not get you through if one of you likes to blow every dime and run up credit cards while the other one wants to save every penny.

I'm going to marry my high school sweetheart.
By the time we marry, we'll have been an item for about five years. I think that's plenty of time together.
I'll probably be 21/22 and he'll be 23 when we marry. Young, but both graduated from college and with jobs.

I think a person should be out in the real world for at least a year before getting married. No, I don't mean in college. I mean out in the real world, working full time and looking after themselves.

I also think a relationship should have stood the test of time before turning into an egagement.

Of course, those are very blanket statements.

My boyfriend and I have known each other since second grade. We went to the same school, and then the same church. We have both stayed in church, faithfully, through our high-school years. We were seperated when I went off to Boot Camp. After an injury, I was sent home, and we were reunited. We'd both endured some horrid times, but we're brought together by God. We've had an extremely healthy(though difficult) relationship, and are getting married in January. We will both be 21 at the time of marriage.
