is it alright if i get engaged now at 16 1/2?

sweetie, congrats on being in love. remeber you can get engaged and still not plan the wedding for a few years away. this time gives you both a chance to grow.. save money for everything you will need, and i was married at18. stayed married 10 years. marriage is about love and commitment... not age.

Im 24 and engaged to my high school sweetheart, we have been together 7 years but have known each other most of our lives. You might end up marrying this guy in the future but at the minute there is going to be so much that will be changing for you. People grow up and change and when that happens, feelings can change too. It might not be this way for you and your boyfriend but why do you need a ring to say that you love each other especially if your not going to get married till you are 18. I didn't think about actually marrying my fiance till I was 19 and even then he said that he wanted to wait & I was pregnant with our first child. But he was right and I'm glad we did because now we are older and have two beautiful children that will be able to show our day with us.

I can't tell you what to do and I understand that you will probably already have made your mind up but just think about it before you make any quick decisions!

HAHA most people DO NOT marry their middle school-high school boyrfirends. Whoever told you that was lying.

you said, "we have been dating this time since april 7th 2010 and today is may 19th 2010." a month? really? do you even hear yourself?

you have thought about marriage ever since you were 14? keep it that way. just think about it. don't get married little girl.

Get a promise ring. Look it up on wikipedia. What is the point of getting married so young anyway. I don't see the rush.

PS. love how you mentioned you were 16 AND A HALF! as if that makes a world of a difference.

ETA: I didn't mean to make you feel bad but I just thougt you should know, you sound stupid right now. You think you're ready at 16 to get married? Some people who are 30 or even 40 aren't even ready for marriage. If you read this question again when you're a little older, you will know what I am talking about.

1. Most people don't marry their high school sweethearts, much less their middle school sweethearts!

2. You are waaaayyyy tooooooo young to know what you want in life.

3.Relationships are way more fun if you take things slow. You should stay together, when you turn 18 you could get a place together then if you're still happy after a couple years you could get engaged and then a couple years after that you could get married. If you rush everything this fast you're probably gonna find yourself at 19 married with two kids and wondering, "What next?' Take it slow, it's not a race.

4. I think you should talk about it before he asks you. That way he's not embarassed by you saying no. If you want to take another step in your relationship go for a promise ring.

5. People change a lot as they get older. I wouldn't recommend getting married until you are well into your 20's and you have a clear idea of what you want in a relationship.

6.My bf and I have been together for 4 years. I'm 25 and I'm in no rush to get married or engaged. We own a house together and absolutely love our life together. I'm confident and comfortable in my relationship and don't feel it's necessary to rush things along.

Desiree,

Can I speak the truth in love to you even though you may not like what I have to say?

Don't get married let alone engaged so young.

You have your whole life ahead of you!

What is the rush? (getting married just to have sex is not enough reason to get married)

What is your motives for making such a life long commitment?

Are you ready to take on such a heavy commitment of richer,poorer,sickness, health,better, worse at this time as long as you BOTH shall live? Somehow I dont think so.

Don't get so caught up in the moment of romance although wonderful it does wear off.

Have you and your intended prayed about this life altering descion of getting married.

I am not minimizing your feelings or trying to belittle you but you have to be happy with God and yourself before you can be happy with anyone else. It seems like you are revolving your life around this young man and that is not healthy or wise.

Many people I know married young my mom was 18 and she and my dad celebrated 52 years of marraige a couple of weeks ago but back then that generation played by a different set of rules than couples do today. I was 24 years old when I got married I knew my intended over 4 years and he was 30 going on 31. I am married over 16 years and it is hard being married. My health took a bad hit in 2008 and I am just now able to look for work my beloved just lost his job in January and this has been a very hard and difficult time in our marraige. My grandma when she was alive always said this you take each day as it comes and take the good with the bad. Are you honestly ready to take on the good with the bad?

Like I said before don't be in such a rush take time to get to know God yourself and your intended.

you will locate teachings that Christians attempt to maintain on with contained in the recent testomony. there is not any particular area of the bible committed to those tops by way of fact the bible is a compilation of books so it is going to take some looking. additionally, in case you do no longer completely understand some thing do no longer hardship approximately it. basically ask questions approximately right here or on your father and mom, priest, pastor, etc. some good sections are: a million Corinthians 6:12-20 to 7:a million-sixteen Matthew 19:a million-12 Matthew 5:27-32 (please do no longer misread this) Romans 7:a million-3 Ephesians 5:22-33 a million Peter 3:a million-7 Titus 2:3-5 Colossians 3:18-21 it relatively is relatively it in a nutshell: marriage - get married and love and admire your spouse. she is to place as much as you, no longer any opposite direction around so the entire feminism element is out the window (in my opinion thank God). divorce - the only reason you are able to ever divorce is by technique of marrital unfaithfulness. NO DIVORCING!!! abstinence - sexual immorality = rape, incest, beastiality, adultery, premarital intercourse, gay relationships <--- circumvent those issues

I think you're both too young for this.

Both of you should wait till you're at least 25.

Finish your education. Go to a university or college. Date other people. Join the workforce. Get a steady job. Build up a reasonable savings account. Travel the world. Do cool things.

Do these things as individuals.

Yeah of course you should marry someone you have been dating for all of one month when you are 6 1/2 going on 4. And your additional details clearly show how mature, well educated you are and ready you are for life as a functioning adult. Your parents must beam with pride at the mere thought of your wise decision making skills.

are you serious? what is 16 1/2 anyway? do you honestly think that if you're engaged now that you'll marry that person at 18 and be happy. oh let's not forget to mention that you're home schooled so that means that you're totally sheltered. sweetie finish high school, finish college, gain a career and then start thinking about marriage. you don't have a clue at this point. plus if you have to ask yahoo what we think about you being engaged at 16 and getting married at 18 then you're clearly not ready.

There is no need to rush. You have a lot of growing to do. I know that it doesn't seem like it right now but when you're 30 and you look back you'll be surprised. Take it slow and enjoy spending time as bf and gf. You also want to be able to look back and think - wow! I had a wonderful like as a teen/young adult. Its so much easier to get married later than it is to undo it once its done.

Your boyfriend will love you whether or not you decide to tie the knot at age sixteen. My boyfriend had wanted to do the same thing. He still loved me when I told him I've got my whole life ahead of me. Why mess with a good thing? If you're happy now you don't need to be married too.
