Dolores dice...Baby Bride

Dear Dolores:

My boyfriend is a great guy, and I truly love him. He’s my first love. I’m 16, and he’s 20 and thinking of marriage. I do really want to get married someday, but I’m also really scared. What if he stops loving me?

—Debra in CA

Dear Debra:

Nobody knows why, or when we fall in or out of love. It’s absolutely wonderful and scary and totally unpredictable. So you can’t make decisions based on what may or may not happen in his, or your, corazon down the road. However, my feelings is that you are still muy joven and perhaps not quite ready for marriage. Give yourself some time. Live a little first!

—Time is the best test of love, D
