He says that he is going to purpose to me near the end of this year. When would be a good year to get married. We are planning on a fall wedding.

And he is 19 and i am 18. How many years should we wait after were ingaged.

Answer 1

when you'll are financially stable.Will make life much easier for you guys.

Answer 2

i think that yall need to wait for about 6 months just to make sure that yall are happy and are ready to be with each other for the rest of yall lives

Answer 3

Don't rush yourselves. You've got plenty of time. Atleast go to college get a decent and good paying job. Then you can think about getting married. You should probably get married in your early twentys.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Wait till you're both finished college and started your career. So at least till you're 24 or 25.

Many reasons:

1. if you marry too young, you may drop out of school or never finish college, no matter how much you think you still will... it'll be much harder when finances kick in

2. you may have children very early and not be able to care for them financially or emotionally

3. you're still growing up (believe it or not, i thought i was sooo mature at 19!) and in a few years, you'll be developing mentally and emotionally alot and will need to give yourself time and space to grow

4. marriage is a lifetime commitment, consider divorce non-existent... you want to make sure this is it and he's who you want to wake up next to when you're 80years old.

5. you need to be stable financially and not rely on others to pay for the wedding, your house, etc etc.

All the best.

Answer 5

from my knowledge you should be in your 20s but you are close enough to be able to marie almost right away

Answer 6

congratulation, well it take about two years to plan the perfect wedding. that way you can get the money together to pay for it. so 20 and 21 is a perfect age.

I now this because I'm a wedding Planner.

good luck and best wishes

Answer 7

If you're going to college,wait until you graduate. Otherwise, till you are at least 21.  

Answer 8

I'd really recommend going to college (or working and living on your own) first and then getting married. The reason for this is that you grow so much in your late teens and early 20s.

My boyfriend and I both met when we were 18 and now 8 years later we're living together and planning our wedding for next year. If we would have gotten married earlier though, it's possible the stress might have broken us up.  

Answer 9

That's 'engaged' and I suggest people wait at least until their mid 20s to marry. That way they've had several years to experience Life as an adult (MUCH different from when they were teens), are well into their education (or done) or career path, have had time to have some experiences, mature, and start to really establish themselves.

Sometimes what we want as young adults changes drastically as we mature and learn more about Life and relationships.  

Answer 10

Well, I would wait until you are both are sure you have steady financial means to support yourselves.  If you want to go to school (higher education) wait until after wards so you can focus on schooling.  Really it's up to your finances

Answer 11

I don't think it has much to do with age, to me You can get married when you both have a stable job, a roof over your heads, just over all be able to take care of yourselves financially, then you can get married.

Answer 12

everyone has their own opinions on when

others should get married. some say wait

til after college or you worked and lived alone.

or you shouldn't get married til your in your middle

to late 20s. i think it's all up to who is getting married

if your ready to be committed to someone and all

the things married ppl do. i got married at 18

and wouldn't change it.

Answer 13

Wait till at least 26 that way you can both finish college and get good jobs. A home together, a car and make a good foundation for the marriage.

Answer 14

8-10 more years.  yes some young marriages work out, but most do not.  get your college degree, find a career you are passionate about, and then see if you are still compatible.  

Answer 15

Sometime between the ages of 18 and 108, depending on the couple, their maturity level, their level of commitment, and their circumstances. Generally speaking, it is advisable to wait, but in the end what works for one couple might not for another. Your call. Just be smart about it.

Good luck!
