marriage

Im a ftm and im only 18 years old, my boyfriend is going to be 21 nov.4th. We have been together 4 years and hes the father of our beautiful baby girl (6months along <3). I live with my father and he lives with his parents, i need help with our baby and want him to be here but the only way my grandpa will let him move in is if we get married. I love him with all my heart and he loves me as much as i love him, hes happy about our baby and wants to be involved. I wouldnt mind getting married to him, i have alot of people saying we shouldnt thow but i dont know what else to do...

You have to do what's best for you and your child.  I was 26, when I got married, 27 when Nissa was born.  My husband is 36, we took our time, he was military, Navy.  He and I decided, to wait, until we were both ready.  Take the time you need, for you, and be sure. Best of Luck!

If you both want marriage I think you should.  But you both need to want it and be ready.

I was 21, 6 months pregnant, and had been dating my now husband for 8 months when we got married. He was 28. We've been married 6 1/2 years. And are expecting our 2nd daughter.
Our friends and families didn't have much of an opinion about the marriage. No one really said anything negative, but nothing positive either. We rushed into everything, it all felt so right. Like a fairy tale. But, it's been the hardest 6 1/2 years, totally worth it, but very hard. Is not always easy, there's a lot of adjustments to be made and balancing to do. But if you are both ready and both want to, go for it.

Hey i got married when i was 18 too! My husband was 24. I'm 19 now and 25 weeks pregnant. We dated for only 5 months before marriage. (We knew each other longer) Everyone was so sceptic about us getting married and they said it wont work or it wont last because we're too young for marriage and dont know anything about life. Let me tell you thats not true at all :) my husband has a steady job (i dont work at the moment because of the pregnancy), we have our own apartment and we live on our own. We love each other every day even more. We decided to have a baby even though we're young because we want to be young parents and dont have a reason to wait. Now we're expecting a baby girl and couldnt be happier. Yes, its not always rainbows and butterflies, it has its ups and downs, we do fight like every other couple but we make up and learn from it and it makes us even stronger. Just because youre young, doesnt mean youre not mature enough for a committed relationship and your own family. If you feel like youre ready, then dont listen to others, go ahead, get married and be happy! Good luck x

Yes 4 years is a lot longer to be together than other couples getting married now a days! I know it may be scary to think about now but if you see yourself being with this man for the rest of your life then do it! Dont listen to other people they are not responsible for your happiness :)

If you guys have been together four years and you both are ready for that step then go for it because you guys are now a family and he deserves to be there with you if you really love each other then why wait any longer  good luck girl
