different strokes for different folks.
A lot of people's parents got married at the age of 18/19.
Different times back then.
The push to focus only on college straight after high school nowadays is fierce.
Both my husband and I had separate, long term relationships in high school that were both headed toward marriage. College was still a first priority in both those relationships. Turns out both of those relationships crumbled during the college years - mostly due to finding out we weren't matched well with those other people. The distance college creates can put a strain on relationships like that too.
We met each other sometime after those breakups, realized eventually that marriage would be in our future, but still finished college and rode the relationship out a bit before finally gaining some stability, then took the plunge in our mid 20's.
I think that scenario is more common nowadays.
But I also don't see anything wrong with your situation.
If you get married now and stay true to your vows, you'll grow together and you'll make it all work.
