Too Early for Marriage?

Question

I’m 18 and just graduated from high school last year and my boyfriend is 19. We’ve been dating for almost 3 years now and have know each other for 6. We are fully committed to each other. We both talk about the future, like getting married and such but we both agreed we should wait just because we’re so young.
But now my boyfriend is moving away for work so we can buy a house and such but he will only be home once a month for a few days. I don’t want to do a long distance relationship and put that distance between us. 
So should I bring up getting married and go with him?? I love him so much and I think I’m ready to marry him. I want to go with him and really start our lives together. Or should I let him do this huge life change on his own and put our relationship on the line because of long distance.

Answer

If I married the guy I was in love with at the age of 19 I would be severely miserable right now. I thought he was the one, and everything was perfect but as the years went on and I grew as a person- i changed, my priorities changed, what I wanted out of life and in a relationship changed. 
I was able to look back and realise that I had been naive, and that we actually had nothing in common at all, so I ended it after 6 years and building a house together. 
He was the sweetest guy, but just not the one for me. 
My point is that your bf may or may not be the one for you- only time will tell. And at 19, you have your whole life ahead of you

Answer

I would ask him if you guys could talk, and see what solution you can come up with about being with him, tbh I got married at 20, and I couldn’t be happier we have 1 toddler and a baby due any day, we are slowly building our cabin, living life and enjoying every minute of it, I used to work but now that we’re parents it’s easier for me to stay with the babies, I may go back soon when we get them into preschool but that won’t be for another couple years.

Answer

I’d talk to him about it to see what he thinks. My boyfriend (now husband) and I did long distance when we were 25 for a year after being together for 5 years. What helped us we had a set time frame (end date to work towards), we planned to see each other for a weekend every 3rd week (we alternated who visited who) and we kept up the communication. To be honest, it was probably harder on him than me as I still had all of my friends and supports around me to keep busy but he had to start making friends in a new place. I think the experience brought us closer together but I know it can go completely the opposite way for others. We got married a few years later- I wouldn’t have rushed getting married at the time that so many big changes were happening.

Answer

Did he invite you with him ? 
Did he ask you to marry him for you can move with him ? 
If he didn’t, I suggest you wait and not rush.
