Thank you!
I think me and my boyfriend is emotionally ready but not physically..we both are in college we have 2 more years to go.. he had a job but just recently lost it :( I feel that we can get engaged but just postpone the wedding later on in life. Our plan was to get engaged then actually get married at the court house then later have a big ordinary wedding. May I advise you we are only 21! (Not that it really matters) In all things we both know what we want in life and were both goal oriented.
Well my husband and I waited to get married until we finished college and both found jobs. Those were personal goals that we both respected and supported in one another and we knew it would be harder to accomplish those while married.
Also, having jobs was a personal decision because of money.
I know a friend who is a successful attorney and is going to teach for a year away from her fiancée, they are getting married before she leaves, because they both have the money and the ability to travel and make it work for the first year.
I think the marriage decision is about where you are in life and your personal goals. What do you want to accomplish first that might be harder with marriage? Does he have a job? Can you both support a household?
Those things said: I don't think its wise to marry someone before you have either a job or the education/training to be able to support yourself should worse come to worse. None of these things are particularly romantic, but neither is marriage. Iron out the practicalities to make room for the romance.
