Can I have some Relationship Advice please and thank you?

My boyfriend and I will be together for 4 years this year in September. He is turning 21 in May and I will be 21 in November this year. I've noticed this year we have talked a lot about marriage and talking about our future. He told me that he wants to marry me but not for another year or 2. We've also talked about maybe getting an apartment together or having sex for the first time for both of us. But I feel we should maybe wait for marriage to have sex, right ? what do you think is my best step to do in my relationship? I really love him and he loves me, I'm really excited to get married but I don't know if I can wait another year or 2. What should I do ?? please help & thanks.

Hi bubbles. You both seem to really love each other. There is no need to wait for marriage to have sex or move in. Good luck :)

My husband and I lived together before we got married. It was fine for us, but I know other people who said it felt like they were playing dress-up, and felt like it somehow diminished the impact of their wedding. If you wait on both, then your wedding can mark a much larger transition in your lives.

Talk to him, and the two of you can figure out what works best for you.
