Thats what i think as well...

we have a couple in our church who married young. She is in cambridge university while he works in a bookshop in cambridge. When she has done her degree he will see if he needs to study although he is being promoted as manager of the bookshop and helps the other branches get sorted. So a little job turned out quite lucrative. They rent a tiny house but they are very happy for now. There are heaps of couples that marry young but he can also cite for me the equal heaps that don't get married at our age...

Although it is a trial i cannot see that it is unscriptural the way you are now. You are waiting until you are married if you know what i mean. I don't think it is a good idea to seperate as you are engaged to be married.
He's not proposed yet - so why would that be engaged to be married? I won't separate too....

The problem is what is in his mind? Who knows what that is? In only a year you will need to be planning the wedding as it is hard to book churches. I know that from experience as my son got married last august at 22 yrs.
Congrats!!! (: Aww. At 22. And the girl?

Is he afraid of the responsibility of looking after you with not enough money? Just a thought.
Yes perhaps and he wants the best for me...
