| If you are having sex, make sure you are protected. The worse possible thing to happen would be for her to get pregnant at this time.
Us 'older' folks may seem preachy when we say 'you have your whole life ahead of you', and when you're 20 you might not have a grasp on that, but trust me, when you are 40+, you will get it.
I think if most people put off marriage until they were 25+ (or so), there would be less divorce.
As a point of reference, I (currently 46 yo) speak as someone who got married at 19 (to get away from my parents), divorced and remarried the same person (yes I was that dumb). I was finally single permanently at age 26. I had my son at 28 yo (by a totally different guy who has never met his son).
Keep it simple, don't tie yourself down now. |
