writes:My boyfriend and I have been together for a few years, and everything's great. We're thinking we want to start living together in a couple of years when we're done with school, and maybe get married in three or four (because we don't want to get married too young). My question is, should we spend some time (maybe a month or two) apart in the next couple of years just to enjoy being single before we commit to living together? We've been together since high school, and I just don't want either of us to realize a year into our marriage, "I wish I'd had more time for myself." How could this strengthen our chances of having a lasting marriage? Reply to this Question

I'm 21 and he's 22, so I mean we do think we'll be ready in the next few years to get married. But I guess the general consensus that I've read on this Web site is that taking a break doesn't work. Thanks for your advice.

Why you got to get all serious so soon. Breaking up your relationship just so you can be sure that you'll get married and stay happy. This makes no sense....... There are NO GUARNTEES in life.
Relax, enjoy your relationship as it is right now. Make this time your best time and let the future take care of itself.
