what most people in general don't realize that just because you've been together for a year doesn't mean you should get married... you shouldn't base marriage on other peoples standards, you take your own time (how ever long it may be) you wait till you are stable, and work things out for yourself....

do not go on what you see others do, or what your parents did...

"my parents were married at 20" is not an excuse, and neither is "my friends just got married and they just graduated"

you hear that way too often from people...
