YOU ARE TOO YOUNG!!! Why do you want to be tied down so young? Go out there and live your life and give yourself time before you get married.

sweetie, you should definitly take your time. I just want you to know that a relationship when your 16 is nothing like when your older and married. I know you guys love eachother, but you both should wait because when I was 16 I wanted to get married and be with my boyfriend and I look back now and Im thankful I didnt. your way of thinking will be so different in a couple of years. if he loves you and wants to be with you, he'll wait until your done with school and when you actually know what you want in life. you might turn 18 and see all your friends that are single and partying and realize marriage is not what you want right now. you have years and years of life to think of marriage, for now just be 16 and have fun with your friends and stay with your boyfriend if you really love him. I was 16 and had the same thing happen to me, and we would even sit there and talk about how we wanted our house and everything, but we both have moved on and started our families with other people. so think about it.

HELL YES!!! The minimum age limit for marriage should be 25! Who you are at 16 is not who you will be at 25, 30 , 45 - you will find that you will do a lot of growing over the next 9 years - if you're still in love once you reach that age, then you probably have enough life experience to deal with all that life will throw at you as a married couple - not to mention knowing how to support yourself on your own, should the need arise.

your 16 ... in the US your not even legaly a adult. Um i would at least wait until your 18 the legal adult age. your still in high school...well at least at 16 you should be...you need a career and money before you even consider marriage. can you stand on your own two feet if somthing happend to him? you need to consider all the facts. im sorry but your just not ready have a loooong engagment,

YES.. by all means follow your head, not your heart. I could tell you the same thing your parents will say. But I quit school to get married, and now I am much older and have no skills becasue I was a stay at home mom. IF you do one thing for yourself ... go to college and have a skill b4 you marry... for that "just in case"

Always listen to that little voice in your head. If its telling you
your too young then wait. You've been with him for 4 years
he can wait 2 or more years till you feel like your ready to
take that next step.

Follow your head. You are too young. What is the hurry?

bindaredundat

Follow the nagging voice in your head.

googlemaniac

why do you have to get married? you can just remain as you are.

give your relationship a few more years and you'll see why most people wait till they are older to get married.......

if you do decide to get married, there is always divorce :)

At 16 I thought I was with my future husband. Nearly 7 years later we're no longer together, and I know now he wasn't the best guy for me. Of course at 16 I thought he could do no wrong. I totally understand feeling like you're ready, but if he's the one, then waiting a few more years won't hurt. Don't rush, because marriage should be a one time thing. Live life and enjoy it a little before settling down.

Best of luck.

Follow you're head. The little voice is correct and you show signs that you are mature (but not enough to get married yet). You have so much more to experience and it may or may not be with this man. You don't have to make such a permanent decision at such a young age. Give yourself time. You're 22 year-old self will thank you for it.

Follow your heart. If it doesnt work out you can always divorce. If you love him then marry him and four years dating is a long time! Im sure it will work out because you seem like a sweet girl and he obviously thinks so to because you have been with him for a very long time.
Good luck and I hope everything works out perfectly and the way you want it to.

lonewolf

Definetly ! Hon,marrige is tough even for he older folks ! Now you should be just enjoying being "16"! Focus on your youth and education cause it will slip away and then it"s gone.!

Good Deeds

Yes you are too young enjoy your teenage years. Get a college degree and then decide if you guys want to marry.

Kitty

Yes, of course you're too young. If you're 20 and still want to get married, go for it. There's no rush - really.

giveu2tictacs

dont do it..I go married at 18. I missed a lot of things..

College, doing the 20's dating thing, and gaining a good career before 30. I had to work hard, get 2 jobs to live on my own.

I had a child too young..I ended up going to college at 30 and starting my career then..

It would have been so much more easier to go to college after school, gain a good career and then get married.

fleur_loser

I got married at 20.. not too young but it was young for me. In my xperience and my oppinnion. the age of 16 is young. I wish that I was able to experience more relationships because now I feel like. what if there is someone out there who is better for me. Or even just being able to have the freedom out of mairrage.

Giggagirl

I dont think you are I got married when I was 20 ;)
to my childhood sweetheart, Im still in college but I own a clothing store, that I inherited from my Grandmother.. he's a succesful engineer/realtor...
We're well taking care of finacially... and so in love now that we have our first child together!!
Her name is Riley and shes 13 days old!!

Good Luck to all your hopes and dreams and remember there is no age limit on love!

Caleb's Mom

Yes sweetie, listen to the voice in your head. It knows better!! Enjoy your youth while you still have it. What you want at 26 will be a lot different that what you want at 16, I promise you. Your thinking, how you feel about things, etc. will change as you get older. Tell your boyfriend no to the marriage proposal.

BennBJBear

Yes you are too young. Not simply because of your age, but simply because you have not yet had the chance to experience life. If you two are meant to be together, you will be. Don't rush into things just yet, there is so much for you to see, feel and experience in so many ways that you will be amazed.

Starla_C

YES, YOU ARE WAY TOO YOUNG!!!

christopher_j_steward_24

Seriously, you are definately too young. My advice to you is to wait untill you graduate college before even contemplating marriage. Its a big world out there, imagine what you will miss if your married by 18.

springer

FOLLOW THAT LITTLE VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You both need to grow up alot. You both need to be able to party and have fun. NO KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go to school, get a job, save some money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAVE FUN WHILE YOU ARE YOUNG
You can have fun with your boyfriend, just don't get pregnant or get married for at least 10 years.

MsTruthful

FOLLOW YOUR HEAD, if he loves you than you can be engaged for 2 or more years before he marries you.

chaskfrazier

YES!!! You are waaaaay to young but fortunately smart enough to question it before you did it. Please give yourself a chance to grow up, mature and enjoy your own life as a single person before you legally bind yourself to someone who is still growing up. You'll be so happy you did and miserable if you don't.

patf154

16 is too young....still have your whole life ahead. If you wait till at least out of high school. But people change living on your own.

Hoosier

You are by far too young and if you Love each other it will last regardless of any wedding vows. You have way too much life to live as a single person and both of you will change dramatically in the years to com. Absolutely No Way you should get married so young.

42beenthere

At 16 you should be going to the movies, hanging out with your friends, going to the mall shopping, and having spend the night parties. There is a whole world to experience.

The demands of marriage are trying for adults.

Enjoy growing up and get married later in life.
