Marrying Young

I fully believe ANY two people can get married and have a good happy relationship IF they are BOTH people are committed to the marriage. I don't think age matters. Even old people can be immature. lol

I don't really know if some of you didn't fully read my post or what but I don't plan on getting married until AFTER college..which I will be around 23. I think I didn't explain my post the right way.. I meant more of I wanted to hear about the thoughts on living together before marriage,teenagers getting married(which i have gotten alot of opinions on..even though most were negative, so thanks)..just in general if any of you have stories of you and your husband/wife that have been together since your teens..i dont mean to sound rude to any of you who replied saying stuff like teenage marriages wont last, i dont know what I want...if i go to ANY website i can read the same thing..im asking on here for peoples ideas mainly on trying the living together first or any suggestions they would have to test the relationship. Thanks to all of you who have replied..i'll try to be clearer in my future posts.

I know a 38 year old lady who was with her husband since she was 16, they got married when they were 18. she has 2 kids and they all couldn't be happier. i hope you and you boyfriend can be happy together for that long anf longer, that's how i hope it is for my boyfriend too. we are in a similar situation. me and my bf have talked about living together, not too much though, we will be going to the same college though.

My sister got engaged when she was 18. She stayed engaged for 7 years and then got married. You would think that 7 years of engagement is like being married. When she did get married, a year later her husband felt that he didn't experience enough before he got married. He's conflicted because my sister is one of those girls that guys drool over because of personality and looks yet he wants to experience and be with other people. They're getting a divorce soon.
Yes, with the right personality types people can stay together from teenage years to old. But even personalities change.

I was in a realtionship for a long time and me and my ex-boyfriend were planning on getting married. We were going to move to Michigan (where hes originally from) after I graduated high school and we were both going to go to the same college. We had all these big plans, but they changed. I'm not saying yours will, but there is always that possiblity. We broke up, he wasn't ready to get married, and it hurt so bad because we had made all these plans for 'our future' together (we even had our children's name picked out lol). It hurt really bad because I truly believed that we would always be together. But now that I lool back and think about it, it was for the best because I wasn't ready either. We just weren't mature enough for that step. I'm not saying that this will happen to you, I'm just sharing my experince. I really think you guys have a chance, and I say you should run with it ^^ When do you guys start college? I agree with you wanting to live with him before marriage, I mean how else are you going to know if you can stand sharing space with the same guy everyday. You'll learn all of his habbits (both good and annoying), and I think it can really prep you for marriage. You're both still young and this will give you guys a chance to grow together. I wish you the best of luck ^^ PS> Whats with all the statistics? My parents got married at a young age (plus they only dated for 2 weeks, maybe even less which means they barely knew each other) and everyone said they wouldn't last. They were in love and that's all that mattered to them. They'll be together for 25 yrs this September.

He's starts college this coming fall and i'll be going the following spring (i'll be graduating in december). I hate all of the statistics too. I've read so many things and looked at so many websites and they make it seem like if you're not over 40 then you have no idea what the hell you're talking about or want. We both are actually really mature for how young we may seem(17&18)..i've been basically raising myself since i was around 13..(parent troubles)..i was the one taking care of the house/helping with getting the bills done..and he has a loving family that will encourage us no matter what decision we make. We both have our futures planned/careers planned out. and Congratulations to your parents and thanks for replying :laughing:

"We both have our futures planned/careers planned out."
Every high school student has that figured out...then this thing called life happens. Seriously things change dramtically once you get out of high school and into college. I had my future planned, marriage, career, everything. None of what I predicted back in high school is happening right now. I'm not trying to be negative by this, I just thought I'd point that out.

I met my husband at 15 and just knew I wanted to be with him forever. We grew up together and we both supported each others decisions and respected each other. We moved in together at 16 and got married when I was 21. I am not saying it is always easy as it hasn't been plain sailing the past couple of years but I still love him as much, if not more than I did 15 years ago (I am an oap of 30 now!!) We are lucky that we both realise that we had ambitions and worked together to achieve them and now we have two beautiful children and good careers, well, he has, I am still working on mine!!lol. We have both changed as people especially from when I was younger but we have been able to do that as a partnership so if you both work together then I do not see a reason why it cannot work and I wish you all the luck in the world xx

I believe in marryiing young. I'm in the same boat as you. I plan on marrying after college but its particularly hard for us cause I go to school 3000 miles away. We figure if we survive a 4 year long distance relationship we could go through everything else together. The thing is you should be open minded and not put all your hopes that you will be marrying this guy. You got to keep your eyes open for other guys that peak you interest. Your still young and you might need to check out other guys and go to parties without him but if you keep on going back to him because you love him and love being with him. Then congratulations. But if its cause you want to get married and have all those dreams, you might need to take a break cause your more into the future then the person your with.
