Engaged to who...the 29 year old? I am confused....sorry!

 

And congrats...but please please take your time before you get married. I know that you will HATE to hear this, but 17 is very very young. And I know you believe you are different and more mature, believe me, I thought I was at that age too! But you will do SOOOO much growing between now and into your mid-late 20s and so much changing. I am now living with the man I want to marry, but if I had married any of my high school boyfriends or ones even from my early 20s, I would of missed out on so much of learning who I am, what I am about, what I can do, and the independence that helped me mature to the point where I am very ready and undeniably know my partner is the one for me, and me the one for him.

 

Marriage at an early age has a much higher risk of divorce due to the fact you do change so much and are not really truly prepared for marriage - it takes more than love. You need to be sure you share the same relationship goals, ideas on family, finances, have great communication skills and conflict resolution skills and so on.
