Re: Life advice question time

[(Anonymous)]

It kind of depends on the two of you.

I actually have had friends in a similar situation: she was in the military, and they wanted to move in together. They decided to get married, since that way he could travel with her if she got restationed, plus she got massively improved housing and benefits. They were both in their early 20s.
However, while *he*, and pretty much everyone else in our friend group thought that this was mostly a practical step, and the actual romantic commitment would come down the line, *she* thought of it as True Love marriage. A year later, she was medically discharged, and it became a major issue when they separated shortly after that.
I have, however, known a few other military couples that did a similar thing, and then went on to have the romantic ceremony years later when they actually felt ready for the mental commitment.

So, if you think that both of you can agree, at this point in time, that the marriage is for convenience and practicality only, it can work. If not, don't do it. But there's nothing wrong with saying "We're not ready for this step in the relationship sense, but we don't want a lack of a piece of paper to keep us apart."
