1. I want to experience life with my other half.

People are always saying not to settle down too fast because there is a lot of life to live, but when you find someone you love more than almost anything, you want to experience everything life has to offer with them by your side. When you find someone who makes grocery shopping comical and a simple trip to dinner and a movie an adventure, you no longer want to do things alone.

2. Life is too short to worry about people's opinions.

When you get engaged young, you get looks of disbelief and questions like, "are you sure?" Granted, some people are just trying to look out for you, but if the two people were not sure, I don't believe that one would have popped the question and the other would have said yes. People are going to say, "You haven't been together long enough to know if you're right for each other," or, "You need to wait until your older," but my reply to this is cliche but true because, 'when you know, you know.'

3. Because I feel like it is God's plan.

Life can throw you in every direction at any point in your life. Sometimes you feel like nothing is going right and then there are times when everything is going right. When you find someone who is there for you through it all, it reminds you that God has a plan and a purpose. When you are going through a trial and you question why it is happening to you, God answers your question every time. Some trials we go through are to show us who is always going to be there to hold our hand through it all which is exactly what your husband or wife does.

4. We get to share more milestones.

You get to make some of your first adult purchases together and share the memories that come along with it. You might not be able to afford much, but whether you get a small one bedroom apartment or a huge mansion together, you are just happy that it is yours.

5. We get to share success.

When they succeed, you succeed too. Regardless of the reward or benefits that you receive from their success, you are equally as happy for them as they are. You want to see each other succeed so you do everything you can to help them and motivate them. Having this support system is a blessing.

6. Because we are in love!

As cliche and corny as this is, it is completely relevant. When you find someone who you want to talk to every free second you have it is an amazing experience. When saying goodbye gets harder and harder each time, you know that you love them. When you simply enjoy laying on the couch watching cartoons or movies, you know that they love you for you. So what if you are young! When you find someone who makes the good times better and the hard times easier, you have found your forever.
