I worked with a lady a few years ago who was in her 40's, who met her husband when she was 16 and married when they were 18. Had their first child soon after. They are still together many years. She said that although she was young having children, now they were all grown up, she felt her and her husband could afford to do all the things like travelling now and of course are young enough to enjoy their grandchildren. Of course a lot of relationships don't work out but it is possible. I suppose it just depends on how much you love each other and lack of money can often be a factor in relationship break ups so when you are young, you don't have a great deal of money and that can cause a strain. I think it is important not to limit each other's development, ie career prospects, as you are together over those crucial years so there is no resentment later. Hope this helps.

Yes of course there is a chance it will last, i myself know 2 couples now married who have been together since 16 but i also know some that stayed together until there 20's and split up. nothing has a gaurantee in this life it would be the same if you both met at 26 or 36, however i do feel the older you wait the more you know yourself and what you want out of life and the better the chances your relationship will have of lasting, remember what is for you won't pass you if its meant to be it will be regardless of what age you meet
if it were me i'd wait a few years, travel and see the world 1st. good luck :--)

It it likely, no. Is it possible, Absolutely Yes. My husbands aunt and uncle got married when they were both 16. They just celebrated their 35th anniversary last year and they're still going strong. My grandparents did basically the same thing (16 & 21). They were married 62 years when my grandpa passed away. Same with my husbands grandparents (16 & 19). They just celebrated their 50 last month.
So yes it is possible ,with love, compassion, compromise and respect. But it's not an easy road to travel. There's a lot of pot holes along the way. You just have to be willing to do whatever it takes to make it through the rough patches together. Never give up on true love.

Ive heard and seen many couples that were childhood sweethearts, and became married down the road. I think its a romantic thing to happen, You get to know the person so much more by the time you decide to marry. I was one of those 16 year olds who dated, and am now happily married to the same guy! Most people who have a true lover be it, gf or bf found them at a young age, they make the mistake of loosing that wonderful someone, by thinking they had to date and find others, when the one for their lives is left in the dust. Not all end like this, but I wonder how many people meant for one another, never came to be?

In all reality a small percentage of people who start dating at such a young age end up lasting forever. In todays socitey young people don't fully comprehend the vowes they take when they get married...They seem to think that if it doesn't work they can always get divorced. They don't fight for their marriages. Since divorce is considered part of the norm and not taboo people see it as an easy way out. Now, that being said, if it is love wait for some time before you get married. It can work if both people want it to and can work together in the bad times. I am proof....My husband and I started dating when I was 16 and we are going to be celebrating our 10 anniversary next spring.

No, it doesn't last forever. I was with my daughters father from the age of 13 until I was 30, (long time) and unfortunately we split up not long before I found out I was pregnant. So, even though you can go a good distance, I don't think many people are together as OAP's, like the generation was 60 years ago.

Yes! I do know of a couple who met when they were 15 and 16 and are now happily married with 3 children......been together over 20 years.
It depends on the type of people you are.....values, compatability, trust, honesty, love are just to name a few! No relationship is easy but with I don't see why it wouldn't work. Some people say its best to 'sow your old oats' before settling down but not everyone feels the same! If you have something special its work holding on to!

Of course there's a chance it will last for ever, but there's no guarantee. Just the same as if you were both in your 60's there's no guarantee. Do what's right for you at the time, don't think of 'what if's.' If we did that all the time then we'd do nothing. Good luck in whatever happens in your life. LIVE FOR NOW : )

There is a chance so long as you dont both grow apart as you grow older but in general i dont think these early relationships last forever anymore like in your parents or grandparents days when Divorce was frowned upon.
