Am I too young to be getting married?

You’ve only been dating for 1month, and hes asked you to marry him? This is NOT love by any means. You are still a child. You need to finish high school and both should go to college, but at the very least, you need to be of legal age and needs to finish high school. In most states that’s called statutory rape. 15/16 is way too young an age to be thinking about long-term commitment. Its really hard to believe any normal parent would allow their 15 yr old daughter to be engaged!

Ask yourselves why you want to get married. If your reasons include wanting to get away from your parents, pregnancy, or fear of losing one another, don’t get married. All of these reasons are red flags in your relationship and are not valid reasons for getting married. You do not know who you are or what is right for your life at that age. In fact, it is not until mid 20’s, in my opinion, that you truly know. Wait. It’s not worth it. And, please do not listen to anyone who is telling you to “go for it” who still has “teen” in their age. As much as they mean well, they do not have the knowledge or experience to give advice.
