You've all heard about them...high school sweethearts. How many of these relationships end in a marriage that lasts? Do you have any statistics? Thanks! :D

I have a few instances for you. I was with a wonderful guy my junior and senior year of highschool. We planned on getting married and having a family as soon as we got out of college. Well as soon as we got to college, he dumped me for the first pretty thing to show him any attention. 2 and a half years of my life wasted!
A good friend of mine however, she got with a guy her freshman year of highschool. They were together all through highschool, they even had a baby their senior year. When the graduated, they got married and had another baby. Their marriage lasted maybe a year and they got divorced because he was cheating on her. He left her with 2 kids and a broken heart.
Men suck!

I'm 16, almost 17. However, I've had exactly what you describe with a few moderation's. Mind you, despite my age, I'm not a typical teenager, I'm very established in what I do & the things I have going on for me, so don't think of my answer as any less because of that. My boyfriend & I are 3 1/2 years apart. We dated when I was a freshmen in high school for about 7 months. My parents, although thinking he was nice, thought we should wait to date until I was older. It was hard & in all the pain, it became a bad breakup, probably very close to a typical teenage breakup. We dated other people, didn't have much contact with one another. After 2 years, I still wanted to be with him & he with I, but I think we both felt it was a lost cause, since we had no relationship AT ALL. I got a job offer from my elementary school's church office & on my first day of work, guess who just so happened to work there as well? My ex boyfriend. It took 6 days for us to get close again & realize we had the same chemistry we did when we first dated. It's now a year & some change later & we are very happy together. We've established a wonderful relationship & now we both know for sure, this is the last relationship we both want to be in. Some people can say it's far fetched, especially since my 20 year old boyfriend says he wants to marry me, but he honestly does. The assumption is that apparently at 20 all a guy wants is some random sex & beer. We have a wonderful sex life, it's almost ridiculous. We're best friends & always around one another, but never down each others throats. I sometimes feel I have a better relationship then most people who are my age & older. We still have a lot of growing to do & nowhere near marriage, but ultimately, it's what we work for in our relationship. No matter how "immature" we may still be, it's not an immature relationship, we have trust, communication & stability & above all, we do not break up, ever, like most teenagers do.

It is hard to say. How long have they been out of HS? How old are they? I think it is more likely to end in divorce, and more likely to be a shorter marriage if people get married right out of HS. I don't know if they are happier than other couples while they are married. Every couple is different.

It's way more than one in a million!!! Just in our school there's been lots. My husband and I are one of them. And I know at least 5 more couples just from our high school between the year my husband graduated and the year I did.

I married my high school sweet heart. We started at 16, got married, at 20 and have now been married for 5 years. We also have one son. So far it hasn't been easy but obviously the good times have outweighed the or I would be divorced.

One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/AvoidDivorce
It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.
