engagement?
Is it normal for an 18 year old guy to be thinking about marriage and kids? My boyfriend and I have been dating for 8 months and at the begining of the relationship he knew he wanted to get married and maybe have some kids but he never put much thought into it and now suddenly this week he's been asking how I would want to be proposed to in the future and kids and what our house would look like. I didn't know teenage guys thought about this. I know we wouldn't get married for years but I love knowing how committed he is. Any other guys like this?

some guys just know early who to marry. Stick with your gunns about when you will commit to vows of marriage. he can't marry you with out your concent. Ask him if he'll do any repairs to the house if he dosen't DIY it. he's not much use.

There are some guys like this... but I don't know any of them
I remember 18. I thought I knew the score. Turned 21 turned out didn't know anything, turned 23, then 25, then 28... then the dreaded 30.
Life has taught me some amazing things. One is that at 18 I could barely vote responsibly much less take a wife.
Tread cautiously

If you guys are planning on a long engagement (and I'm talking like 5-6 years), you are definitely not too young!
What you want to be careful about is getting married before you guys have settled into your adult selves. You're both going to change an awful lot over the next few years, and you need to be sure that you can handle those changes in each other.
My fiance proposed to me when I was 19 and he was 20. He had bought the ring after 8 months of dating, and proposed to me after 11 months. People thought we were crazy, and that it wouldn't last. 3 years later, we've bought a house together, and we're still going strong! We're just waiting until we have the money to actually get married.
Some guys are just different from your usual horny teenager. My fiance, for instance, was actually looking for a committed relationship and had no interest in sowing his wild oats.

yeah it's too young it's nice to know he is commited and everything but are you ready for a commitment?
marriage is the biggest committment.. and having kids is probably going to be the biggest one you will make in your life. wait until your ready

18 is a bit young to be thinking about getting married in my opinion. It's okay to talk about future plans but actually going through with them at 18 is another thing. If you dont' feel comfortable about it then talk to him and tell let him know you'd rather wait until you two are a bit older and at a more steadier pace.

My boyfriend is kinda like this, but he's 25..
I don't know any other 18 year old guy who's thinking about marriage, children & future homes. He should just be enjoying life like college and going out & friends. There's no reason for marriage to be on his mind.
