Hi so I moved to a new place and met the man of my dreams. We've been together since early November 2014 and we both honestly feel like we could spend our lives together. We have loads of stuff in common and right now currently supporting each other with our goals (Him; College. Me; Military) More than once the subject of marriage has been brought up and we've said that we'd wait a couple of years, mostly to wait until i was out of the barracks. But more recently we've been suggesting marriage after my birthday in July. I think its a great idea because i really do want to spend my life with this man, but i'm a little worried we/re moving too fast.

What do you think Subeta?

- Nope, you're not moving too fast at all. I don't understand why people think you have to wait X amount of weeks to start dating, X amount of months to move in together, X amount of years to get married, etc. When something feels right, go for it.

I'm saying this as someone who is in a relationship like yours. I met my boyfriend in October 2014. We've been wanting to move in together, but we're just waiting until we can afford it. We've decided we're already engaged. (Just no jewelry yet and no one else knows.) We're waiting until at least next year for us to legally get married, because of my boyfriend waiting until he's legally allowed to drink. If it wasn't for that, we would get married as soon as we could afford it.

We know we're right for each other and we're both wanting to settle down for good. Because of this, I know we're not moving too fast.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with Star. I think you should give things some time, make sure you aren't rushing into anything. You have time, you don't have to be married to feel as though you belong to one another. You may feel like you're right for each other right now, but just remember that as time goes on, the honeymoon period will end, if it hasn't already. The little things that would annoy you if anyone else did them will begin to bother you, and you will find things that you don't like about one another. Honestly, if you're getting married, you're going to be together, and if you're going to wait it out you're still going to be together. I have a boyfriend that I adore and we have been together for almost a year and a half, but we are going to wait things out, and see what happens in our lives, and do whatever we can to make things work out. We are determined and going to try for it as hard as we possibly can.

Have the both of you moved in with each other yet? If not, then you had certainly better give that a chance first before you decide to do anything else. You might decide that you cannot handle one another's habits, or even that there is hardly anything you two do that bothers the other.

I'm just saying that you really should get to know one another better. I know that there are some people who get married quite soon and have a wonderful marriage, I'm just saying that you should wait at least a year before you decide to go through with it. Just make sure that everything is still perfect! I don't want you to rush into something and end up having problems one day. Just think things out, and if you're certain you're ready to get married soon, then go for it. Make sure you've looked at and thought of everything though! :)

Thats wonderful that you met someone who you adore so much!!!! But I do think it may be a litttllleee too fast. :( I have been dating my bf for 3 years and still do not know everything about him, it takes time to learn each other and a few months may not be enough time. I think you guys should just have fun right now without the wedding stress. No need to rush things if you already know you guys will be together forever!! You will get there and it will come soon enough I promise :)

The fact that you're posting this means that you have enough doubts to completely justify putting this off for a good long while. If you are having doubts, any at all, it is too fast. That is the determining factor. Not time, not age, not how well you know one another. A relationship should move as fast or slow as you are comfortable with. Do not let him pressure you into marriage before you are ready. It's as simple as that.

My honest take on this subject is: If you feel as though you're ready, then you are! My dad got married to his current wife only 6/8 months into dating and they got engaged after, maybe, 2 or 3? This is after being with someone for 11 years and not marrying her. He knew what he wanted and knew when he found her and they're currently married and extremely happy!

Life, in all honesty, is too short. If you want to marry him and he wants to marry you, then get married! Worrying about possible obstacles can be seen like this -- if your marriage won't survive them, then your relationship wouldn't either! So don't worry about that at all.

I wish you both lots of happiness, whatever choice you make!
