Please I'm a teenager in desperate need for help. I recently accepted my boyfriend's proposal to marriage. But,now I'm confused because I think I am too young and afraid people may not approve of our relationship because he is working class. But I love him. He has sent me an engagement ring. What should I do?. Pls help!

Hi me and my husband are married for 3.5 years i was 19 when i got maried, every one said i shouldent get married so young, you go through dificult times but you work through them, sometimes it is better to wait until you are a little bit older becouse there is so many things you still need to experiance and you must still grow up become a woman whos got responsibilitys and sometimes its so easy for us to forget them, you have to look into your heart you will find the answer there, its the feeling inside of you that will tell you if you love him so much that you want to spend the rest of your life with him

Good luck, hope you make the right decition

When in doubt, Don't. Tell you BF that you can't marry him at this time, becuase you are too young. IF this is the real thing, he will wait for you. If not, you are certainly better off not going through with the marriage if you have any doubts. Everyone gets the premarriage jitters. Talk to a counselor, minister, etc. about this. If you are serious in doubt about the marriage, call it off. You will do both of you a favor.

If you have any doubt that he isn't the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with, then save yourself the trouble. Listen to yourself and not what everyone around you is saying. You don't want to start a marriage off with doubt about how you feel about him. Explain to him how you feel. Because a ring and a piece of paper won't make things better. Do what you feel is right

Wendyg agony auntHey where is the rush... just because he has asked you to marry him doesnt mean you have to do it straight away. Why not have a long engagement ? he is expressing how much he loves you and wants to be with you, but there is nothing to say you have to go get married right away. Take your time on this and it will hopefully pan out for you... many people can be engaged for at least 4 years before they decide to eventually get married,.. learn to be together more and see how it pans out, there is no rush remember just enjoy each other, and enjoy the commitment of a serious couple for the time being and see how things go.

I understand what you are saying, about "following your heart," but you have to think realistically too..I mean, its not the early 1900's anymore. You can't just get married at 14 and expect to build a lasting relationship with your husband and on top of it expect everyone to accept it. No one will accept it. It used to be considered somewhat normal for a 14 year old girl to get married, but the women of that time matured at a much faster rate than they do today. At 14, you're still a girl, not a woman.
