Search Results: is marriage the goal

My boyfriend and I are both moving. He is going to college. I am still in Highschool. He's 17 and I am 16. He's never dated anyone but me, I've had multiple short term boyfriends in the past. But with him things are so different. I love him completely. He's great with my siblings, he will go with me to take my youngest brother to the park and will play with him so I can have a break. He's funny, and so sweet. . He doesn't pressure me to do anything. He remembers all the small details. We've let our guards down with one another. He have sweet intimate moments, like yesterday it was late at night and we were walking and we stopped and put on music, and he taught me to slow dance, even though I kept messing up. Even though we are both still virgins, the spark is definitely there. Everything is so natural. He never even asked me officially out. We just said one day, hey are we dating and the answer was yeah. He and I laugh so often. We laugh at ourselves and eachother and just little mundane things. He's my best friend, I feel like I'm living in a movie. It seems too good to be true. He will play guitar for me, and I'll sit in awe. Every Sunday he rights me a poem or short story, I look forward to them each week. He encourages me, and is understanding. I motivate him and he does the same. We talk about or futures not as just me or just him but as us both being in each other's future. I'm far too young for marriage, but I can't imagine being with anyone else. After we are done with college we want to move in together. But it's such a long long time away. Being with him makes me so happy. Being apart even for two weeks makes me miss him. I believe living apart from him for several years with an end goal of being together is most definitely worth it. It will be so, so very hard. And many people can't make it work. I don't know if he and I can, but I know we will try with every ounce of our beings. Because for someone like him, how can I let distance divide us?
