text: should one marry his girlfriend? do one should marry his girlfriend.. because before marrrige u have love and after marrige the love will lost how old are you?  marriage is about giving yourself to someone emotionally, mentally and physically. if you can seriously and honestly say that you would sacrifice everything for your significant other, make sacrifices even if it grossly inconvenienced you, then you might be mature enough to begin discussing marriage.  it is a bigger deal than anyone who has never experienced it can imagine.
