writes:Hi guys, can i ask your opinion on something that has been on my mind for a while now please? Well to keep it short, when do you think is the right age to get engaged? I mean, i feel like i have found the one and i think he feels the same but i fear people may think we are too young to be "serious" (he is 19 and i am 20). And how long into a relationship is too soon to think about engagement in your opinion. I love my boyfriend so much and i would like us to move to the next step but i think he worries what people will think. how would i find out for sure if he feels the same way without making it obvious?Thank you for your time :)

reader, anonymous, writes (12 October 2008): Im nearly 19 now and i was engaged at the age of 14 and we have been together every since and we're still very much in love so i do not believe you can love someone only for 3 years! so i do not think there is a certian age but if you're older it's better because you are more matture and are willing to work out any problems that may arise in the relationship rather than when you're young.

Scientists have proved that the feeling of "love" lasts approximately 3 years and I believe them. Just have a look at how many questions there are on here saying "I love my girlfriend / boyfriend. We've been together 2.5 - 3 years. But now I am unsure and looking at other people!!!"
HOWEVER, there are always other couples who have been together years and years and love each other like the first day they met.
So my advice is to stick it out for 4 years and if you are still together and still as strong as ever and not bored and stuck in a rut or routine, then get engaged and then married within the year.
Good Luck!! xx

reader, anonymous, writes (8 October 2008): I am fourteen and I am engaged. Yes, I am young and I had only been with my partner for 3 months before he asked me. Only a few people know and I guess they don't think it will work out. All I know is I love him and we have been through a lot, whatever anyone says we will prove that it works when we have been married for sixty years. So answering your question, whenever you feel the time is right. Only you know the answer to this question.

reader, anonymous, writes (8 October 2008): I think that you are not to young to get engaged but the question is how young is your relationship? How long have you been together? The fact that you are unsure if he feels the same way is worrying though as this is the guy that you think you want to marry quite soon. Have you slept with each other yet? From a christian background. I believe that you shouldnt date for too long but you should date long enough to understand if he is right for you or not. Not just because you love him and think he loves you?

 It's difficult to generalise because everyone is different, but a rough guide with hindsight (which is a wonderful thing) I'd say after you've been in a relationship, totally committed to each other, for not less than 2 years.
Marry in haste, repent at leisure - as the old saying goes.
