What are the chances of this couple remaining married?
They started dating when they were 15 years old.
They got married right out of high school at 19 years old.
They had a baby soon afterwards at 20/21 years old.
They are now 22 years old and have been together for 7 years.
It is so much at such a young age.
What are their chances of staying together when they were so young when they started dating?
Also, do you think they might cheat since they were so young when they go together?
P.S. Its not about me.
Thanks.

Well I met my Wife in high school during 10th grade. We got married 2 years ago so in total we've been together for 6 years. and believe it or not we have a daughter too lol she's 9 months old.
There were some tuff spots. I was sent over to Iraq during the pregnancy and it forced my wife to probably grow up a little more faster than we had wished. but we wouldn't change anything at all, our daughter is beautiful.
Statisticly they are doomed to not make it. They have probably heard this dozens of times already. But that doesn't mean its not worth a shot if you love them.
I would say the cheating would be just about the same chance as any other couple. not sure though never had the problem.

I think that getting married when you're really young can be very difficult, both in the beginning when you're having to learn how to share *everything*, and down the road. You (general you) might start to wonder if you're missing out on something by not exploring more, but on the other side of the coin, you may be perfectly content with your spouse and not even consider what it's like to be with someone else.
If a couple gets married because they really, truly love each other, and both are committed to making it work even through the tough times, I don't think they're any more likely to have problems if they married at 19 than they would be if they married at 40.

It is possible for them to stay together but they both must remember that each of them is going to do a lot of personal changing in the next few years. I was 16 when I started dating my husband, we married at 20, had a baby at 21. We have now been married for 5 years. I have never cheated on him in the 9 years we have been together.

OMG. I felt you were talking about me! That is exactly what happened to me!
The chances of staying together are 50/50. The key is not to grow apart. You need to grow together. My hs sweetheart and I divorced because he had other interest and went through some major setbacks and a death. At the time, I couldn't see or help him because I had just had our 2nd child and was very sick w/an intestinal disorder. So much so he looked for comfort in another woman's arms.
BUT I still believe in love and I truly believe you have as good a chance as anyone else in this world. Maybe even better because you know so much about one another. Like I said, if they can get through the bad times intact, they can get through anything. Seek out help when going through a rough patch. Looking back, had I asked for help from my family and his, we would be together.
Good luck.

Love is love and you can't help who you love... There is no research done or study that can tell you what you want answered but I am getting ready to get married on Sept. 8th and I am only 17. I still have this year and my senior year of highschool but me and my soon to be husbund have figured out what we are going to do and how I am going to stay in school and well I guess what I am trying to say is that if they love eachother and they want to stay together and really have a happy marriage then they will.

It depends on them. Are they still happy? There really is no way to know. I know people who married their highschool sweetheart and they are happily married in their 40's. It sounds like they did things the right way... They graduated, they got married, and they waited until after they were married to have a kid... Maybe still a little young, but they seem to be on the right track and happy.

my parents were high school sweethearts. they've been divorced for 21 years now.... but i don't think you can talk about people in general and be able to figure out how long they're stay together... some of them will be together until death- my grand parents were childhood friends and stayed happily married until my grandfather died they were married for like almost 50 years...

Upwards of 50% of marriages end in divorce, the rest end in death. Your friends have the same chances as everybody else.
