Marriage proposal from Younger boyfriend but not ready to get married

If YOU are not ready to be married, then don't get married. But you cannot make that decision for him. If HE is ready to be married and he has no desire to play the singles' game, then that is HIS choice, not yours. How long have you been together?

Hi love, If you value long-term marriage relationship, then you should wait for him to get into age. However, if you plan to have the contract to expire in a year or two, then go ahead, sign the documents, grab whatever you can get, and run somewhere else. That's the trend nowadays, so why bother? Marriage is no longer a sacrament based on love but a convenience, so go for it if you can.

I'd say only get married if you are ready and if he really loves you, he will respect your decision. My concern though is that he wants you to quit your job. As one who doesn't have a job and got married, please take my advice, "DON'T QUIT A JOB UNLESS YOU WANT TO!!!!" If a man insists a woman quits her job, (not that your boyfriend is like this, but it does raise red flags to me) it's because he wants to control her. Without your own income, whatever you do will be because of him. What you buy will be because of him..Not that this is bad, but if he uses it against you, that is not good at all..

If you keep on pushing that you two shouldn't get married, if you've denied his proposals already, then you are upping the chances of him leaving you for another woman. For something like that to work, you need both sides working towards it, but it sounds like it's more him working towards it, and you keeping back... he even wants to be the big breadwinner between the two of you, which is really difficult nowadays with costs through the roof and paychecks staying low. That really show how much he wants you, but if you keep on denying it, telling him you two should wait, or that maybe he's too young for you, you're just ruining it. If you do love him, then stop ruining the whole thing Now, and go for being together. If you really don't want him, and don't feel that you two are good for eachother, then break it off while you both still have loads of time to find that special someone. Seriously, though, from the little bits you've told, it sounds like he really loves you, and wants to be with you forever. Go for it... if you don't, you could easily be regretting it for the rest of your life.

The question is whether you like him or not. If you are not ready to get married, you should tell him what you think, and you should also tell him that you are afraid because of the age difference. Let it be honest, rather be something be regretful. Hear what he'll say.

relationships are constant chnage, they're flexible and sometimes unpredictable it really depends between the both of you. how well you will come up with a situation that really matters.

I can see your point and see that it is not really the age difference but maybe more so that you do not feel marriage right now. That is okay, tell him that both of you have a lot of life ahead of you and that for now maybe you too can continue to enjoy it and see where it goes. Wait it out a year or so more and see how it goes. After all being married means you would be together so no need to rush if there is plenty of love that both can enjoy being together with the marriage first. If he leave you love then how would that have worked if you were married is what I would think would be concerning. If he truly loves you why not wait at least another year. I do wish you all the best and hope you two can continue to enjoy the love together.

i think that your boyfriend is not yet ready as you too...because his age i know is very much young and must enjoy his life first before settling down..like what you've said you are not ready about getting married and his to young, and you for me at your age you are still need time for your freedom of exploring life of being single,. maybe both of you must talk about it seriously and open up your point of this matter then decide...for marriage is not an easy thing to decide we need time to realize this thing and wait for the right timing of our readiness in this matter.

According to me, I will advice you that take some time from your end because he is now a teenager. Age is not a factor in Love, and if you both are in true love then there is no need to became afraid or worry.

i would say, be true to yourself. I understand you only wish for the best for your boyfriend so tell him directly that maybe it is too early for marriage. 19 years old is still very young. Being 24 also has yet a lot of experience to face and a lot of new things to discover. Although marriage is not an obstacle to these experience but being unmarried is way too different especially if we still want to enjoy. Just pray so that you will be strenghtened by God.
