My husband and I met 3 months before we got married, I was 17 and 18 in Sept. 1977 and got married in Nov. 1977. Needless to say this Nov 23rd it will be 31 years and going stronger than ever. We just were never lucky enough to have had children. Moved around a little started our life in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and now Portland,Or. I don't ever recommend getting married while still in school but it worked and I graduated, thanks to him (he is 5years older). Congrats to all long term marrieds and to all who are losing weight and taking better care of themselves. deb

I was one of those silly kids who got married early. We were both sixteen. We have now been married 30 years, We have 4 children and 9 grandchildren. We beat the odds, they say. I just think we were both to hard headed to give up. But were still in love and looking forward to the next years.

I started dating my husband on Valentine's Day 1988 when I was 15, he was 16. We married two years later on Valentine's Day (I was 17, he 18). We had 4 kids together. We had just celebrated our 14th anniversary when he succumbed to cancer. Now my daugher is 17 and I can't imagine her married!!!

my DH and I met on Oct 18,1990 and started dating the next night. I was 15 and he was 17. July, 1994 I turned 19 and three wks later on Aug 19, we married, he was 20 just about to turn 21. we went straight from our parents homes to our married rental when we moved away to go to college. almost 14 yrs later, we are happily married w/ 2 boys, 9 and 3. I almost didn't go through w/ the wedding and I'm so glad I did b/c it was one of the best decisions I ever made. we both agreed that the D word wasn't in our vocab and no matter what we would put the other first and still do aside from our boys and God. He's my best friend, the one I live w/, live for and love.

I was 19, my husband still 18, when we got married in 1964. We were in college at the time and I think our parents just gave up and let us get married because we spent most of our time together anyway. We didn't live together, though, not the thing to do back then.

We've been married 43 years now, two children, 6 grandchildren. We waited five years to have our first child, so I think that helped us have some time and space to 'grow up' together, as well as finish college and start our first jobs.

My husband and I got married less than 2 months after I turned 19. He was 23.5 years old. We had a Ds together when I was 16 (3 months before my 17th b-day) and him 21. We got married when we felt ready. We didn't want to get married just because we had a baby together. Now we've been together over 6 years and our 3rd year anniversery is July 1st.

I got married at 18 and my husband was 28 and our first child was 1 month old. It didn't work out. We argued and fought most of the 29 years that we were married. There was also a lot of infidelity going on in the marriage. we finally got divorced in 2001. That was a blessing.

I was married at the age of 20 my husband was 19, we've been married for 6 1/2 years. We have 3 beautiful children. And have had a lot of ups & downs. I love my husband more than anything but there are days when I could scream. The only thing I would change is having kids so early in the marriage. Don't get me wrong I love my kids and wouldn't give them up for anything but I do think life would have been a little easier without kids thrown in so soon.

I was 19 and my husband 18 when we married. It's been 43 years now, two kids, 6 grandchildren. So it can work.

I think it helped that we waited almost five years before having our first child--it gave us time to be together, grow up, and grow into our marraige.

One of my best friends from high school got married at 17. They have been married 15 years and now have two kids.

They don't all turn out that way though. My husband was previously married and he was 19 and his ex was 17. They had two kids and barely survived four years of marriage.

We were both 18, almost 6 years later and 2 kids were still together and still love eachother. I think one of the biggest reasons we've made it is our mutual faith, and his family is so supportive.

I was married at 20 yrs old and that was 22 yrs ago, and to the same guy at that. LOL. I have been with him since high school, we went to the Jr. Prom together as friends and it stayed that way for 3 yrs, just friends. Then he graduated went away with the military, I went to visit him for a bit, still friends. The next thing I know we are in Lake Tahoe getting married. Things have been tough at times, and still are at times, but we are pretty realistic. We have 2 kids, 19 yr old daughter and 17 yr old son. I hope that helps your paper.
