writes:is 21 too young to know if you have found "the one"? I spent my whole life thinking I didn't believe in marriage, or I didnt want kids. Now I have been in the most amazing relationship for a year and a half and that has all changed. I don't want marriage or kids this minute, but in the long long term. My relationship is perfect in the sense that it isnt perfect at all. We have our petty arguments, but we have the tools and maturity to discuss them without raising our voices, or being irrational. We see each others sides and always make a point to never go to bed angry. I normally would agree that 21 is very young, but I have been financially independent since 17 years old. I work full time and am putting myself through school, I pay rent and bills etc... When I think about my relationship I feel like my heart is going to explode I love him so much. any advice/thoughts/success stories? Reply to this Question

 I agree -- there are no limitations other than those you put on yourself. If you feel the time is right, then the time is right. If you two have mechanisms in place to deal with issues that come up, great! -- hell you're already ahead of the ball than most married couples.
I say follow your heart (but check in with the head every now and then for a personal sanity check).
Best wishes!!

 You're not too young. It can happen at any age. There is nothing that says love has to be postponed until you reach a certain age.
