My boyfriend gets mad at me because I always talk about wanting marriage and kids all the time and we are engaged but no plans for marriage anytime soon. He said we are to young im 21 that does not seem young to me is it normal for me to want a baby so bad and want marriage at my age?

I think it all depends on the ppl. You may be ready but maybe he isn't. Don't force him into something he doesn't want. He won't be happy. I don't think its wrong for you to want those things at your age. I was married and pregnant at 21. However my husband wanted the same thing. You should just wait until he's ready. If your already engaged he made the promise to marry you. My friends we're engaged for 4 years before they got married and had kids. The thing is you both have to be ready and want it or else it will never work out and one of you or both of you will end up being miserable. Don't talk about it with him. If you have to talk about it try to do it with your friends. Hope things get better.

Just take things slow, when you are both ready, it will happen.

I agree, it will happen when it's right, and it's totally normal for you to want babies and to be married. However if your man is not ready don't force the subject becuase if he is doing something he is not ready to do you will both end up un-happy and who wants that?? It will all happen in good time :d

21 is not too young at all!! I'm 19 right now and cannot wait untill I can marry and have children!! I've been with my boyfriend for the past 2 and a half years and we basically know it's gonna happen someday! He and I are both in college right now and are still supported by our parents. While I know I could get married if I want to, i've decided to wait untill at least my junior year. That way by then he will be getting ready for his carrer and we will both be able to have a beautiful wedding and then support a baby on our own! Whatever age you feel in your heart is appropriate exactly what age is right for you. However if your boyfriend dosnt see it that way than im afraid you'll either have to wait untill he makes something happen, or maybe find someone with your plans!! Good luck with everything!! :d

Take your time, dont rush. Maybe he's not ready to have a baby, and don't force him too either. Maybe he can't take the responsibility of raising a family, let alone marrige. Marriage is hard to adjust to and its better if you take your time instead of rushing because young couples that get married always end up fighting and getting a divorce, so if you really really think your ready, then tell him. If you think u can take all the responsibilties then go for it. 21 is not too young to get married, but it's not exactly the right time either. Wait till your a little older, that's just my opinion. Like if you two have both stable jobs and know where your future is headed to, then go for it! I hope everything works out with you two ~
