I started dating my husband when we were both juniors in high school. We had been good friends for a couple years and decided to date. We had so much fun together and we knew we were going to get married. A year after we graduated, at 19, we got married. The first year was fine, the second and third years were the most rough. We have been married for 6 years now and just sealed in the temple last year for time and all eternity and we get along better than ever!
It just keeps getting better...

married to the AF - - it's tough. We move a lot. We tend to not get overly involved or at times involved at all in community or church. We view everything as 'temporary' our kids don't have any roots except for us. Instead of occasionally going through a transition - - we continually live in a stream of transition. Not for the clingy, weak, insecure, needy emotional type. To be a successful AF spouse, you have to roll with the flow, be used to now knowing what's coming next, be willing to give up working towards your own retirement as you continually be changing companies and jobs, realize that his job makes you an accessory to his life -- and understand that the workforce will look at you the same. They won't consider you bankable as an employee (unless you are a teacher or nurse) and you'll never get shifted to management/community building trusted positions because everyone knows you will be leaving eventually from the get go. You'll get medical benefits but the doctors are pretty much med school grads who use the AF to pay of school loans in four years. Good luck.

married my hs sweetheart and we are now going through a divorce. was married for 6 yrs. if you are going to marry someone in the af then you will have to be open to the idea of moving a good bit. marriage is a good thing as long as both you keep the romance, communication, and trust alive in your relationship and this will be a daily task. that is where we messed up in our relationship. other than the moving part and the possiblility of him/her going over seas there is no difference in marrying somone that works at the bank and someone in the af. good luck in whatever it is that you do.

It is wonderful! I married my high school sweet heart when I was 18 and he was 20. We dated since I was a Junior. Life is great! I moved away and went to college before we got married. I finished in one year. Then we got married! We got a start at everything young. We own a house have great jobs and will have kids young, so that we wont be old when they all leave. It is a wonderful life with my sweatheart!

My high school sweetheart and I were also basketball King and Queen along with being the High school annual King and Queen. We were the attractive couple that had everything going for us. We married shortly after graduation, stayed together for sixteen years.

I'm still married to my high school sweetheart and it just gets better everyday. Plus since we got together so young, we didn't bring alot of baggage to the relationship.

Even better than I expected. My husband and I were best friends all throught our school years, even in Law School and one they something just clicked and we got married three years after we graduated. I find that this relationship works because we knew each other as friends, we didn't pretend to be someone we weren't and we practically knew everything there was to know about each other, even about or exes.
Complete trust, complete respect, absolute love and understanding.
It has been great, it has even made me want to call him right now and let him know how important he is to me.

I am assuming you want other peoples opinon before you decide to marry your high school sweetheart who has joined the Air Force.....if you need to ask don't do it, you're not ready to get married!

I married my highschool sweetheart and we are now going through a divorce. Too bad I couldn't see what a jerk he was years ago.
