Hey Guys
To start i'm 22 years old and have been going out with my boyfriend since December 2005; who is 23 years old.
We are talked about marriage and know that we will get married some time in the future. We have decided (recently) to abstain from sex until we are married.
He feels like we should get married within a year and have children in about 3 years . I want to get married in maybe 2-3 years, in order to enjoy my independence and singleness and have children in maybe 6 years .
My question now is should Christians get married sooner rather than later after they have found the one they are certain they want to spend the rest of their lives with. Am I wrong for making him abstain for 2-3 years (abstaince has been much more of a struggle for him than me). I'm definately not up for children any time soon but i'm not totally against the idea of an early marriage, just a bit perplexed .
What are your thoughts?
