I've been with my girlfriend for two years now. We're engaged, and we'd like to get married and have kids soon. Probably before we're 25. I'm 20, she's 19. I guess it depends on what you want from life.
I see a lot of people that say if you get married young or have kids young, that you can't really live your own life. I guess that's true for some people, but for me, family is what it's all about. I am very family orientated. Hell, pretty much my entier family on my mother's side has migrated to Brisbane, Australia, from South Africa just so we could all be together again. We're very close.
And although i'm planning on moving back to Ireland once i'm married, the only reason i'm able to leave my family is that the other half of my family will be there, or else i just wouldn't be able to leave.
All depends on what you want from life. I've been with one woman, and i am more than happy to keep it that way.

normally i would say youre so young; wait and see what curve balls youre thrown and then come back to statement when youre in your late 30's, but i have a friend who married four days after graduating hs and almost 20 years later she is still with the guy.
granted they have had one hell of a ride from cheating to losing a child but somehow they have prevailed and i commend that.
relationships are more work and more stress then your day to day job at a top level. anyone who can make a relationship work, let alone a marriage, i give amazing credit to.
