My Family or my Fiance?
I'm a 19 year old Female and I am engaged to be married. I love my fiance so much and am thrilled to get married. The problem is my family is against my marriage. They keep telling me I'm screwing my life up, I'm making a mistake, and that I don't know what I am doing. I understand that I'm only 19 but I am positive I love him and he loves me. I just want them to be happy for me but they just seem to be angry and upset with me. I don't know what to do. I want to marry him but I want my family to stop being negative about everything. what do I do?

Im 20, and i just recently got engaged and I'm getting married this summer. All I can think of is that your parents must love you a whole lot. Mine are completely freaking out about the idea of their baby girl being married and starting her own family. Im sure that is what yours are going through too. And you being 19 means you're still in college, and they are probably worried that you getting and engaged and soon to be married, will get in the way of your education. I'm sure you're planning on finishing your education, but you just need to reassure them. and of course after marriage comes children, and if you're in college its really hard to juggle both kids and school work. just sit them down and have a mature conversation. find out why exactly they think you are ruining you're life and just try to reassure them. Thats all you can really do, in the end its your life, and you have to do what makes you happy.

You shouldn't have to choose between your fiance and your family, so don't. Make sure your family knows you're not giving up anything to be with him. You can do anything you want to do still, you'll just have your husband by your side. Once your family see how happy you are and that you aren't throwing your life away, or giving up anything for marrige maybe they'll accept your decision. Maybe they're only worried because you're so young, they probably think you aren't ready to be married yet. They might be upset, but just give them time and explain to them that you love your fiance and that this is what you really want. And tell them it would mean a lot to you if they would accept your decision and support you.
