    There are certain prerequisites for getting married and everyone, for his/her own benefit, must keep them in mind. First of all one must be of age, one should be mature, one must have completed at least the minimum level of education etc. You are only 15 and I believe that is a very immature age. Marrying your boyfriend must be like a fantasy for you at this age, but marriage comes with loads of responsibilities like kids, finances, managing a home and a family sooner or later you would have to face this reality. I think you must wait for a few more years and focus on other things like your education during this time.

    I agree with Aisha, you should wait a few years, while you study something, maybe a short carrier, you never know if you need to work and help your husband, also as a couple you get stronger after a few years of relationship.

    ok...well you are 15 and he is 25..that's ten years..yeah i would wait a couple of years before you get married..but i believe if you are in love and u truly know that you are..then go right ahead...but i would take some advice from someone that has more experience than you and see what they think for you..that is take advice from someone who knows you and your boyfriend...but yes i know how you feel because i feel the same way about my boyfriend..John...but that is another story..
    i enjoyed your story..*Leah♥John*

      In most cases states require you to be 18, some states differ though I think the youngest any start allows is 16. No I won't tell you where. Stay in school.

        As long as atleast one of your parents is willing to fill out the correct form you can marry him and while law states its illegal for yall to have sex they really dont enforce it enless reported

          I would say if its legal then DO IT. Well, if you feel it is the right person. If it is illegal then go to like Africa or something, or get promise rings. OR just love them until y'all is ready for marriage. Personally I don't believe in love anymore because of Jacob. We went out for 6 months and then we broke up cuz he said he didnt love me anymore. I think he can die for hurting me so bad.

          Yikes he's working with some serious jail bait my goodness. By all intensive purposes i think this is an illegal relationship but legal age for marriage is 18 without parental consent.

            If you are 15 years old and he is 25 years old, you have to DUMP him.

            Well he is way older than you and out there some where theres a guy, out there your age and you'll be deeply in love but you will already married. And I say wait till you find that guy. You don't wanna waste all that money on the wedding you didnt want. What I'm trying to say is that you'll always find a guy thats your age and find what you want but if you get married right now you'll never find that person.

            Its gd u people have a soft corner for each other age difference doesnt matter but definately match your kundlis before ur marriage n my suggestion to u is ur very small n narrow minded to understand people grow up first and understand the people ur maturity will give u enough wisdom to judge people till then taking any severe commitments would be obnoxious for u ur dreams are like bubbles which when gets bursts really pains so kindly put take these suggestions in ur knowledge to have an enhenced future ahead i wish u a best of luck for ur future

            If currently you are between the ages of 15 and 17 and maybe even 18 and he is 25, then he is considered a molester and or statutory rapist, especially if you have been having sex. Unless he is mentally challenged, he should know better.  I would not consider marriage let alone continue to have sex with him if you are. Get on with your life young lady. Learn who you are, know self, accept self and believe in yourself. Don't believe what he says.  He has already taken so much of you so much so, that if you were to find the 'real' man or the 'real' man find you (taken out of the bible--a man findeth a good thing, meaning a good woman), then you will be so spent. Sex precludes intimacy...i.e. If you are having sex.  This man can not show you anything other than pain and hurt way down the road. Get on with your education. God forbid if you become/are pregnant. Motherhood is another issue in itself.  You must way the odds. I guarantee, you are not in love, you are infatuated or in lust. Look it up in the dictionary--for a start. This too shall pass. Grow up with the freedom of knowing your identity and you cannot know this, if another person or that 25 year old cradle rocker is telling you different. Seek counseling and or talk with a youth pastor who really knows the Lord Jesus as Savior. Quit while you are ahead, before it is too late. Don't let stds or such like take you out.  Visit www.actsdesign.com/soul factory/store/index.asp    or  
            myspace.com/soul poet  then click on the hieroglyphics interests space bar.   I'll be praying for you and your partner.

            God bless you sister but you didn't need to do on so much the young girl probeley could not read it all.
            Men are taking advantage of young girls it is not her fault that she has feelings for him maybe more than just sex!
            Wait a few years enjoy your childhood :)
