Marriage isn't as easy as 'find hot chick, date, live happily ever after'. If you want to be married you need to be financial secure, ideally, mature, self sacrificing, patient, loving, able to learn and discern your spouses needs, you need to be content and happy with who you are and not expect the other person to fulfill you.
You need to know the role God set for a husband, and, a father, if that the plans too. None of this stuff is easy. When i was in my 20'si thought i knew about marriage, now i'm 36 and realize i knew nothing. Which meant at 15 i knew even less.
Also, just because God tells you He has something planned for you, doesn't mean it's immediate. Perhaps He's telling you so you can take the appropriate steps to LEARN about being a husband, not to go on a manhunt for wife at 15.

Excellent said ^, Ug. Everything is good but I highlighted parts that really are , to me, seemingly words that could come from straight from Proverbs (wisdom book) and Corinthians (paul speaking about marriage) and Jeremiah (chap. 29
JJ, I wish you well and I wish you would go to the altar and really pray this one through, just like Ug says, becoming married is quite the act.
Now, I have never been married and you are nearly 2/3 of my age. I do know many in marriage, some's worked out, some's didn't, and, the reason they did not work out, ultimately, was not following God's plan for their life even though they thought they were following.

maybe PM someone you trust or someone at your church, too, and try to find out where this marriage stimuli is coming from. IF it is indeed coming from God, He will make it come true, as, like you said, '...but it's not really up to me.'
It is not.
IT is up to God
