<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

*Some background info.: We both go to college in the same city. I took a gap year due to medical issues so I'll graduate with a BA in medical anthropology a year after he graduates with a BS in electrical engineering. We have been dating for almost a year.*

Since this was his first relationship as well as mine, he was initially very hesitant about everything. We texted continuously over the summer until we were able to meet in person and even then he was still pretty shy. It was surprising when he revealed in January that he wanted to start talking about our distant future together.Since then, we have been talked about wedding plans, what our kids' names will be, future pets we'd like to have, etc.

We have a sort of timeline set up. After he graduates from undergrad, he plans to start working full time at the company he is currently interning at while I finish my degree. We would like to move in together as well. The problem is that it is very unlikely that his religious parents will allow us to live together until we are engaged at the least. 

We have discussed getting engaged sometime late next year, when we will have been dating for 2+ years. We'd both like to have secure jobs before actually tying the knot, so probably a 1-2 year engagement period. Do you think we would be getting engaged for the wrong reasons? Obviously, things may be different a year from now but at this point in time it feels inevitable that we will get married someday. Is there any harm in not waiting?
<bot>: My boyfriend's parents won't let us live together unless we are engaged. Though we plan to get engaged eventually, we are worried that we will be rushing into it.
