Kevin P’s Answer

Brylane, I see this is a question posted a while ago, so I’d love to know an update. Coincidentally, I ended up marrying the girl I dated in college and next year we are celebrating our 10th anniversary. So it’s possible and you can definitely find a life long partner while in school.

It’s difficult to say if it’s right or wrong. You cannot know or determine when you will meet the one. My situation was unique as everyone’s is as well.

We intentionally did not get married while we were in college. We also did not major in the same subject so we did not really study together.

The reason we did not get married was because of the military, not because of any other reason.

I truly think waiting and dating long enough to say you married your best friend is the best advice. I was just lucky to find my best friend while still in college. Some find it later.

By now, you may already have that special someone.

Warda’s Answer

This is a difficult question to answer and each case is unique. I got married during my second year of college but my husband was already working. It was good to be married while going through college. I will say that it can be stressful at times and it is best to wait until you are done with College so that you can focus on your future.

I think it is good to experience college life alone without having the responsibilities of marriage. Marriage comes with a big responsibility of not only thinking about yourself but also thinking of your spouse. my advice would be to stay single while in college.

Isabel’s Answer

Hi Brylane! This question is one that is pretty tough to give a definitive answer. What I can tell you, is that my fiance and I were together, and quite serious, in college but decided to wait to discuss marriage until after graduation. Life changes a lot after college; we found that it was better for us to focus on school and tackle the long term commitment and marriage conversations after graduation. Again, every situation is different but I am very happy that I waited until after school to think wedding. Hope this is helpful!

Thank you comment icon Thank you! I hope y'all are doing great! Brylane
