We are both Christians and God has been our foundation throughout. We've been together 5 years (He's 20, I'm turning 20 in July) and we are planning to get married next year. I'm now going into my sophomore year. He had a job but he had to take time off because of some health issues and now since that has been seen about he is now looking for a job. We really do love each other. He is my best friend and I know the time is right... we both know. <br /><br />It is true that the world we live in today delays marriage. Even churches delay marriages, which to me is not biblical. It's like they tell you finish college, get a job, get your house, car and land and then you will be "ready" for marriage. My lecturers at my university told us now is not the time to get married because we have to focus on school. There are a good bit of married women in my class and they are doing just fine. I'm ready for those days where I can come home to my husband and tell him all about my day and just snuggle in his arms, do homework with him and take care of him and my home. He already helps me excel in my school work by helping me revise and study and praying with my me. Everybody is different. God created each one of us differently and so we desire different things. I want to grow up with my husband.<br /><br />To me preparation in marriage is more about preparing spiritually. Of course you should physically have things in place but that's not the end all. So much people delay marriage when God already gave the okay and they know in their hearts are ready. <br /><br />I want a small wedding, very intimate, simple yet elegant. I want it to be a day I remember but I don't want it to be the day I used all my money that I could have used for my marriage. I want it to be a day we show the world that young marriage is okay. I always remember this verse, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." `1 Tim 4:12<br /><br />I know it will be challenging at times but I'm looking forward to it!I know God will keep us and provide for us! I am thankful for my parents support and some of my friends! Hopefully I would be engaged this year :)<br /><br />I'm inspired by your post! :)Thank you! God bless you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797049746217823284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6806997193317221088.post-12309231828377169542014-03-04T19:33:04.154-08:002014-03-04T19:33:04.154-08:00What a refreshing post to read.

But we've been together for 14yrs and not a lot of people can say that. We are still very much in love and we have two girls. I wouldn't change a thing. One of my friends said to me, "Yes, it's crazy how young you guys were, but you guys are a success story!" I hope that encourages you as much as it did me :) <br />I just came across your blog...and glad I did :) I just started a new blog, check it out if you'd like! :) www.laneandalley.blogspot.com Lane and Alley | bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16784522146661951504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6806997193317221088.post-42990259294906040352013-12-17T11:55:24.629-08:002013-12-17T11:55:24.629-08:00I also married young, I was 19 when we got married...I also married young, I was 19 when we got married and 7 years later we are still going strong with a beautiful 4yr old daughter.<br />I don't know why but I always feel I have to justify and explain 'why' we got married?! How about, it's the same reason as everyone else, we love each other and don't want to be with anyone else.<br />I'm also here from the 2014 challenge, it's great to find blogs like yours that I doubt I would have found otherwise.<br />Rach xx<br />allnaturalaspirations.blogspot.co.ukRachel Reviews And Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521511659710653804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6806997193317221088.post-44415464267968190462013-12-16T17:14:04.238-08:002013-12-16T17:14:04.238-08:00Early happy anniversary!

It really is unheard of to get married young now, but it is even more unheard of to stay together. Keep fighting the odds, God has a plan!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481586024141453977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6806997193317221088.post-812942668679089672013-12-16T13:04:38.945-08:002013-12-16T13:04:38.945-08:00Hi hun!
