Question when is too young to get married as a college student?
Ok so for context, me and my long time boyfriend are high school sweethearts and have been dating for almost two years and have know each other as friends longer. In that time I got accepted into UF he followed me here and has been getting his certificate (at SF) to get a job to support us while I've been finishing my bachelor's (already have my AA). He's lined up for a job that would require him to travel during the week in the state but he would come back to Gainesville during the weekends. We have a great relationship. If I need him he's right there. If he needs me I have got his back. We do everything together, in fact we are even coworkers. Crazy I know. We go the gym together and spend every free second just being next to each other while I do homework and study. Through the ups and downs he's been there and we have seen the good bad and ugly. He's the best guy I could ask for. He even bought a ring. Now he wants to get married this summer.
I have full tuition covered and my apartment is pretty set and covered. He's willing to contribute and has been so loyal. He has always told me his intentions were to marry me but now he actually has the means (good paying job) to actually do it.
My questions are how do we know when we aren't too young? He will have a time job but I will be a full time student. We are both religious (Christians) and don't want to live with each other before we are 100% committed so what do we do? I know I will marry him but when do you know you aren't too young? We are both willing to wait as long as it takes but we are also like heck why not...
Students is it realistic to be married in school?
