I guess the opposite is true, though...if you know you're not going to be able to get married for awhile, why get engaged. In the end, to each his own, but I'd rather have the ring (well, the officially announced intention, the ring actually truly is meaningless without the intention) now than later. |
A couple can be committed to one another without plans for marriage. You can be unsure about marriage without being unsure about your relationship. In this case, the OP and his girlfriend are still in school. Maybe they don't yet know what they will want their relationship to look like post-college.
