Marriage is a big step in ones' life and the decision shouldn't be taken lightly. Ask yourselves if you feel secure in your relationships, in your jobs, in your life. Financial problems can be a big part of why marriages don;t work. Communications may seem easy now but sometimes it can get tricky after tying the knot.





Make sure to have a long and healthy engagement if you do, try adjusting to each others living arrangements and see how it goes from there. Because spur of the moment marriages are hard and not easy to maintain. Plan wisely and I hope all works for the best.Me and my girlfriend want to marry and start a family.

If you are in love and you want to get married then go ahead and book the wedding.


It will take about a year to plan/organise and once you have settled into your own home and have everything you want around you then you can have your child.


Just make sure you do things in the right order, engagement - marriage - babies, too many people do it back to front and end up with problems from the start.


Good luck and I wish you every happiness in your future life together.
My advice, dont listen to anyone else's advice but your wife's and vice versa. Only the two of you know what's best for the two of you and no one else. There will be plenty of people to knock you down in the world including family and close friends but if you stand strong together and listen actively to each other then nothing will be too hard for the two of you to conquer together.
Someone once told us ';Don't go to bed angry'; but to tell the truth that really has only hurt more than it has helped. Instead, I recommend that you two both learn boundaries and how to tell if an argument is becoming too escalated (and it will happen!).





My husband and I now have a safe word for when one us realizes we aren't going about things rationally and it's not going to get better. When either of us say it we both stop the argument and find something else to do until we're both clearheaded enough to discuss the problem rationally. If it means one or both of us going to bed angry, then so be it.
Its cool you feel that way about each other. Go for the marriage man. The only advice would be to wait before having children. We live in strange times and the economy is in the tank. Make sure you are in a position to put your children through college before you contemplate children.
Get things in order first. Get steady jobs and settle a few issues. Kids, vacations, alone time, etc. If I had to do it over again, I'd get some of this stuff in writing. My wife tells me I agreed to stuff 15 years ago and I don't remember. lol Questions about in-laws are crucial. How often you visit or they visit. We moved away, so lond distance phone bills became an issue. Life is going to interfere with your love, so agree now to spend time together with nothing else in play. My wife and I call it ';hiding under the covers.'; Good luck and congrats
personally, id pray about it :]


ask god to reveal to you if this girl is really for you and to do the same for her. thats just me, id put it in gods hands. remember this tho, no one is perfect, not you, not her...and there will b ups and downs. love is not just a feeling or an emotion, its ur everyday action, a trust, a commitment, its the only thing worth anything.
Talk about everything now, before you are married - finances, kids, continuing education, goals, chores, expectations, religion, etc.





The more you know now about what each other wants, the better off you'll be.
Pop the question. get the ball rolling my friend. find a place that she will love and never forget and thats when you make it happen with a little engagement band or stone depending on the woman and just do it man!
how early is early twenties?? If you are both out of school and settled, then go get a nice diamond and propose!





good luck!
The two of you are the only ones that can know if you are ready for this. Think if through!
