Re-thinking the marriage date... any advice?

Summer of '09: my senior year of college, his junior year... living in a small apartment, what are some pros and cons to getting married earlier while we're still in college? Is it harder or easier? Do you recommend waiting after graduation? What are some special considerations (i.e. insurance, income, etc.) that I may not have thought of? We're thinking about setting the date earlier.

Summer of '09 is less than a year away... you could even wait until the summer of '10 when you've graduated, or beyond. No need to rush - the future will always be there!





In addition to insurance, your marital status could affect financial aid, housing, and will absolutely change your study habits...





Being newly married (even not newly married) is a lot of work.


Since you're so close, I'd suggest waiting until you're out of college.








Just a couple things to consider. Whichever you decide, congratulations. Re-thinking the marriage date... any advice?
If either of you are still on parents health insurance policies, that will end the second you're married, since you will no longer be considered a dependent. So, you'll have to provide your own health insurance--something that is rather scary to do if you don't have a job and an employer who provides it as part of your salary compensation. That's definitely something you'll have to look into. You might qualify for student insurance or not, I'm not sure.





I would wait until you're both out of college, and supporting yourselves 100%. Good luck!
Hi





If you're asking the question, then maybe that's a sign?


Get your education out of the way first, that's my opinion.

Graduate first! Your education can help you make it being married with a better job!
