Is 21 too young to be engaged?

and what... prey tell.... does this have to do with MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE?????

I was engaged at 21 and married at 22 when I finished school, but my husband and I were together for 6 years before we got married. Two months isn't enough time to know your partner inside and out. You definitely should make it a long engagement, so the 2 of you can get to know each other better. Right now the two of you are still in the infatuation stage. Give the relationship some more time to go through the ups and downs to make sure that this is the person you want by your side. Maybe instead of an engagement ring, he could get you a promise ring and then after being together for a year, he could get you an engagement ring so your family won't think the two of you are rushing things. That way yall will still be able to share your commitment with everyone. I had a promise ring before me and my hubby were engaged.

Two months is not enough to even know a person. In fact, people may go years without really KNOWING the person they're married to. What is the rush? What is marriage anyway? A lot of people would consider it a legal binding document, not good for much other then tax benefits. On top of it all, your age difference is outstanding. It sounds very immature. There is no logical reason as to rush into a marriage. If you do decide to get engaged, I would wait at least a year and a half without telling anyone because they will all question your sanity and wether it's true love or just young lust. Look at it this way, anyone can get married (well, besides the gay), why don't you try and stand out from the rest? Wait a bit. Be a grown up and don't make implusive decisions. Making an educated decision upon the person you want to spend the rest of your life boils down to a matter of respect for yourself as well as the other. Good luck!

I knew my husband for 10 months before we got engaged, we got married a week later. No, we were not pregnant. I was 20 then, I just celebrated my one year anniversary. We are very happy, and that doesn't mean we don't have problems, it just means we would rather be with one another and be there for one another more than anyone else. It is the hardest thing you will ever take part in, lot of give ant take, lot of choosing your battles. Some nights you will argue and some nights you will cry, but at the end of every fight and when you wake up in the morning you realize that you didn't marry that person because it would be easy and you guys "complete" one another.......its all about the commitment. You will get out of it what you put into it. How serious will you take it? How hard will you work at it? Will you never give up on him OR yourself, and can he answer these questions for you? If you guys can think and discuss these things now then as far as im concerned you can get married tomorrow. People will tell you what they think and they will tell you how they would do it, but you need to remember that its not you and ur boyfriend and there relationship, its just you and your boyfriend, and thats all you should be listening to and making decisions with. Time, age, months, years, I mean they are all numbers, and for everyone they all happen different, everyone has a story, JUST MAKE YOUR OWN STORY! :)

i have heard of people getting married in two months. but to just be engaged after that long really isn't bad. You sound like you want to finish your schooling and stuff so that is good. as for telling your parents and friends i suggest waiting at least a week so you and your bf know this is the right move. When you tell everyone explain why you waited to say anything and they will understand. My first husband and i got engaged six months into our relationship but waited a year and a half to tell our parents because we were still in HS lol. Do what makes you and your bf happy and if they love you then they will be happy for you what ever you decide. COngrats.

i was 24 when i met my hubby, was only engaged for um...2 months before i got married! met the guy 3 months before we got engaged. so yeah, it was quick.

my advice is do what feels right to you ok, and DO NOT worry about other people teling you not to rush it (i dont think a 3 year engagement is particularly useful unless you only see each other once a month!)

Some of my friends freaked out about my situation and were giving me doubts, but went ahead anyway and soo glad i did =D.

still, theres also no harm in waiting a bit longer before you get 'officially' engaged, e.g. have a proper engagement party etc.

21 is fine to be engaged, but as someone else said prob best you don't have kids/move in together first. I know a lot of people live together before marriage now, but its soo nice getting married first, having something more to look fwd to, like now you're proper husband and wife you get the priveledge of living together... think its a bit wasted otherwise.

really happy for you good luck!

Date at LEAST a year before engagement.

And be engaged 3 years before marriage.

Hon, you don't even fully become your true self until 25. Getting married before then almost guarantees a divorce in your future.

no i dont think you are too young. thats a good age to be engaged i think. but don't rush off and get married. be sure and wait those two years and you'll be good.

No that's not too young. Just don't move in together or have a baby before marriage.

try the committed relationship first then walk do not run into the engagement...if it is love it will be there then

You're very smart, smart people don't make hasty decisions so your family and friends will understand and congratulate you on your future decisions. Education first.
