I want to get married 'cause I love him 

  I feel that we have such a kinship and I have more security than I've ever had.  
   One of my best friends spent her first year of college at an ultra conservative Church of Christ college.  The administration basically forbid mingling of the sexes in a non-public place.  And no one was allowed to live off campus unless they were married.  The attitude there was "Well, if I can't have sex w/o marriage, I'll just get married."  There are tons of 18 and 19 year old married people in Searcy, AR.  One of her friends got married just to have sex (not necessarily b/c of love).  Ironically, she's yet to have an orgasm.  LOL.  So sad.
