Ugh! Frustrated.

[MagicStar723]

I am sooo frustrated. My FH and I have been dating for 3 years and have 3 more years to wait until our wedding. Waiting is soooo hard. We are both being patient but sometimes it is overwhelming. I wish we could move the wedding up but we cannot as we are both in school 2 hr appart. I do plan on being a SAHM/W however I believe it is important for me to have an education "just in case" (and so I can have a good job when we are first married) sometimes I wish I could quit school and just get married, but I know it is for the best, and being married and in school would be tough for him. We are getting married as soon as I graduate, but since he is going for his masters, he will have 2 more years. It really stinks!
Thanks for letting me vent.

I know how you feel. My bf and I haven't been dating as long as you,but we want to get married one day to.We would have to wait at least 3 years to. It's hard. I'm sorry.

He must be a lot older if he only has two years left on his masters degree! Since you are so young it is good for you to wait. You have a great opportunity to save money ahead of time too, something I wish I had taken the time to do. Just a little hint hint.

Good luck, be strong

Hey, we sound similar! I plan on being a stay at home mom but I am getting my bachelors in nursing so that I can work at the beginning of the marriage and if my husband ever loses his job or dies or whatever We've been dating almost two years - and waiting for marriage is sooo frusterating and difficult. I won't be graduating for two more years and he is getting his masters so he has 3 more years. We decided to NOT wait until we graduate, it is way too long.
Take each day at a time, and concentrate on making your relationship right now really strong and God centered.

Pray to God about your decision. There are times it is wiser to follow the heart and there are times it is wiser to follow the head. So pray for wisdom and discernment. I pray you will be granted those things.

Don't worry it will fly by. Marriage isn't something to rush and it sounds like you have good reasons to wait. God will give you the patience and when the day comes you'll be glad you waited for the time you felt God wants you to. Marriage isn't something to be rushed into, this time will be a great time to prepare yourself for what is to come.

Are you waiting because its what God wants or what you want? What do you need to save up for? If you are serious about marrying this man, a big white wedding is not one of the requirements to do it! This is not just directed at you but to everyone whos waiting to "save up" for it and are finding it so hard to wait til 2013 or whenever to marry - seek Gods guidance, I doubt He'd want you to be so unhappy for X amount of years, after all, He guided you to marry this person, He didnt ask for thousands of pounds/dollars to be spent organising it!

Leana,
he is only 2 years older. He has a total of 5 years left, he will have 2 years left when we get married.
We are waiting to get married, definately not because of what WE want but we live 2 hr away and are both in school, so it cannot be done.

Oh, I understand now. It is really good you are going to school even though you are going to be a SAHM. Good for you!! I got married before going to school and then had to wait until my husband graduated and as a result am currently a SAHM AND part time student. It is a challenge at times, but I love it. It would have been smarter I realize to get at least a two year degree first.... at least on paper it would have been smarter...
