How realistic is it to think that you will one day marry your first love? I don't think it's likely, but it happens, right? I'm 16 and he is 17. And I've never felt this way about anyone in my entire life. I just want to experience everything in life with him. We talk about getting married sometimes, I mean seriously talk about it. When we do talk about it he tells me that he is serious, that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me.
Opinions? Advice Please?

First off don't let anybody judge this for you, don't let them fill your head with "statistics". However, quite a bit of these kinds of relationships don't last, alot of them do. Love is always worth taking a risk for. If you feel it's right, then it is. Your marriage wouldn't be about or for anybody but you. Marriage is a personal choice, not a "group vote".
orphans answered Thursday July 6 2006, 10:36 pm: Hey! It happens. I'm not sure what you need help on though, but i can tell you that my sister has a boyfriend and they've been going out for 5 years (on and off a few times) and that was her first love..and they always talk about getting married. And it will probably happen. You never really know. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

Elcee answered Thursday July 6 2006, 1:44 pm: In my opinion it is totally feasible. I met my husband at 15, started dating at 16 and married at 22. We have been married now for 24 years and still in love.
As long as you are realistic in that your relationship will go through many, many changes then you will continue to mature together. You do have to work at it to make it a happy relationship and deal with bad knocks together. I wish you all the very best whatever happens in your futures.

jumadel answered Thursday July 6 2006, 6:04 am: Hi, your boyfriend and you are pritty confident about your relationship and plan to make things work. That is excellent because to be in a good relationship you have to have confidence in yourself and the whole relationship. I think on the other hand, your both quite young to be thinking of marriage. Maybe when your 25 or 30 you could start really thinking serious. Because the relationship just might not last that long. It is very possible to marry your first love, but alot of people who are married have gone out with at least 2 or 3 boyfriends before they finally new who was their right match. For now I think you should both enjoy being young and being a girlfriend to him. If you both decide that you want to get married now, then later on in life maybe 10 to 15 years you might have wished you would have just waited a bit longer. It from the sounds of things looks like your relationship and love for each other is very strong. Your both really confident which is excellent. But I wouldn't make any rash decisions yet. You may regret if you did. Hope that helps. Daniel. [ jumadel's advice column | Ask jumadel A Question ]
IhAvEaNsWeRs2104 answered Thursday July 6 2006, 3:02 am: Yes it is very likely for you to marry your first true love. Also for you that is a lot easier because you don't have to go through all the heartache. All you have to know is are you and him both completely no doubts for sure about this whole thing because you need to know for sure now not later when it is to late. Just remember follow your heart and nothing could ever go wrong.
mauigirl answered Thursday July 6 2006, 2:01 am: ok, well, if it is real, you dont need marriage to keep you together.
i mean, if you two really love each other then you wont break up while you wait until you're a bit older to get married (early 20's?) [ mauigirl's advice column | Ask mauigirl A Question ]
kendrabdatgirl answered Thursday July 6 2006, 12:36 am: well nowadays it really isnt that realistic but it can happen and it has happen many times..i think that you do have a chance of being with him til death do you apart. however even though your future with him is very important you have to realize that you are in the present..dont get your hopes up because it hurts really bad..things may change in the future as well as him. you may meet a new person and feel the same about them as you feel about him or he may do the same thing..but dont think im tyring to put you down because no matter what any one says if you are honestly in love and you know for suure he feels the same about you then you should go through with the idea of getting married with your first love and experience everything in life with him like you want..but then again you may experience some doubts because if you decide to marry your first love you know you've missed out on a lotta things with different guys.. but it doenst matter if it's realistic or not to marry your first love like i said if you are both in love then go with what your hearts says ...hope i helped [ kendrabdatgirl's advice column | Ask kendrabdatgirl A Question ]
holahayley56 answered Thursday July 6 2006, 12:18 am: I think its very realistic that you will marry your first love. Actually, I read something in a magazine, that you usually marry a person you dated in your younger years. I don't think thought you two should be getting married at such a young age. If I were you, I would go to college, get a job.. then if you are still together [that would also prove if its true love, if you stayed together] then get married. Because, if it doesn't work out you are able to support yourself. & if he really does want to spend the rest of his life with you.. & he cares about you, then he'll think that its a great idea, to go to college & such first.
