Marriage
Hey, I know you're only 15 and years away from this topic, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
I'm a senior girl in college (23yrs) and my boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 6 years now. We talked about marriage years ago and discussed our ideal time to get married. We both wanted to wait until we graduated from college.
I'm graduating in a few months and well... his college career has not been as successful. He has at least 3 years left.
Recently a lot of our friends have been getting married, engaged or have begun looking at rings. I'm totally jealous! These are couples that haven't been together nearly as long as we have and I feel like... I feel like it's my turn, not theirs. I'm te one who's put the time and effort into a long term relationship, it's not fair.
I've talked to my boyfriend about it, but he doesn't want to rush things. When I graduate I don't plan on staying in this farm town, but he wants to finish out his degree at our school... what do I do?
I want forever right now. It's my turn.

Getting married is a life long commitment, and surely not something you want to rush into.
Do you want to get married just becuase everyone else is? I could understand the jelously, but more then likely the couple that rushes into marraige has the more problems.
Marriage is all about sacrafices ( sp?). Everyone has to sacrfice things, either you scacrficing 3 years of your life, by staying in your home town. Or him scacrficing finishing college.
I would sit down with him and have a long talk about both of your futures. You might feel ready for marraige, but you could be wrong. Figure out if this is the man you wish to spend the rest of your life with.
Marraige is not something you should rush into.
I wish you the best of luck
