Good luck and God Bless you in this New Year.

My husband and I met whenI was 16 and he was 19. We were introduced by a mutual friend. Nothing came of that meeting other than we both told the mutual friend we thought the other one was cute.
Fast forward two years and we were both in really sucky relationships. My boyfriend was abusive, controlling, and cheating. He actually got a girl pregnant while dating me.
My husband was dating a girl that went off to college and called him one night saying she had accidentally gotten drunk and slept with three guys.
We both ended these relationships within a few weeks of each other. For the record, we had never talked after that first introduction.
This mutual friend and my brother were also good friends so he knew my husband was a nice guy. After hearing my relationship with the a**hole ended, my brother wrote home from bootcamp and said "why not give AJ a call?". He was kidding of course, but I took it seriously.
I begged our mutual friend to call him up (I didn't have his number or even know his last name). AJ was at a point in his life where he was always over at his friends house. Well, when our friend gave in and let me call him- AJ was actually home. He wasn't feeling well and of all the times for me to call. It was fate.
We planned an outing for the following Saturday and that was our first date. It was really a blind date because he didn't remember what I looked like and my memory of him was fuzzy.
We were inseperable after that.
We dated for a year and a half before we got engaged on my 20th birthday. We bought our first home within 3 months of that.
We were just married this past May. To date, our biggest arguement was when we had to have our roof replaced and we argued over how to pay for it (file insurance and have the rates go up or out of pocket).
We truly are best friends. We have alot in common- types of music, movies, hobbies, and stuff we don't always see eye to eye on- we are supportive no matter what. For instance, he wants to quit his job to become a firefighter (again- he did it as a volunteer before), but that wouldn't be my ideal job for him. It's dangerous afterall. But regardless, if it's what he wants to do, I'm not gonna stop him.
We never go to bed mad. If we are upset, we stay up. We always kiss eachother good night and I always kiss him goodbye before I leave for work. Simply because you never know what might happen.
Oh and my brother has yet to let me forget that he mentioned "call AJ" as a joke. In his eyes, my marriage and relationship is based on a joke. He meant well- as my brother- whether he meant to or not- it was the nicest thing he has ever done for me.

My roommate in college was dating my husband's cousin. He came up to visit one weekend and we all hung out together and we have been together ever since. We married a year and a half after we met. We just really hit it off, there was a connection with him I hadn't felt in previous relationships. It has been difficult because he is a pilot in the Air Force, so we have been separated more than most couples. However, it makes the times we're together that much better. That has been our biggest problem. Our son also died last year when he was just 2, and that was a major heartache of course, but we help each other through it. We made it through that, we can make it through anything.

Dh and I met through an ad in the paper. I was running the ad to get my mom off my back, she thought I was only dating military men.Well I was living about 5 minutes off base what did she think would happen? Any way I ran the ad in a paper that circulates about 100 miles away from where I lived, but the ad left out MY location. So DH answered the ad and the rest is as they say history.
11 years strong!

My husband and I knew each other since we were young, I'll say 10 yrs old. I honestly truly disliked him he made me so sick, I would hide when he rode on his bike around my block. My sisters would warn me that he was coming and I'd run inside the house. He would always flirt with me, and anyways I really wasn't into the boyfriend, girlfriend thing I was young and living my child hood. So I moved out the neighborhood at the age of 16, we met again on day when I went to visit my grandma I was 19 then. I went to the park we had some kind of chemistry thing going on but it felt more like love at first site. That was in 1999 and proud to say today we are still in love as if it was our first day. Parents of two boys. Yes we've had our ups and downs but with love you can survive anything and mostly everything.....Happy New Year

we met through friends. she was away at school and I was away in the military so we talked a lot on the phone before we ever got together again. really got to know her that way. since we weren't really dating I could be open and say about nything I wanted. the funny part is that she found herself agreeing with what I was saying. it's been 17 years now.
I still screw up a few times a year (saying something wrong usually) but I remind her thet if I only screw up three times a year, it means I'm doing things right for the other 362 days and that I'm wrong less than 1% of the time.

So far so good! My husband and I met online in a chat room of all things, boredom brought us there. We have been married for just over 2 years and its hard work, everybody will tell ya that! Marriage is alot about forgiveness and you can't be selfish all the time, it takes some getting used too. Atleast it did for me!
Good Luck!

My husband and I met at a pool hall when we were 18. My mother made me get married when I was 16 so I was going through a divorce when he and I met. She dropped me off and left me their at the courthouse. He ended up getting with me when i was 15 and he was 22. Can anyone say child molester? I fell in love with the one and only man in my life when I was supposed to be reconsiling with the little perv. Lol. We are the best of friends. We have three daughters. WE HAVE overcome so many obstacles. Outside influences and people try to ruin what you have. Its just that the 2 of us had to stand back to back and fight them off together! Every dream we have wanted to accomplish we have done together.

I first met my honey,when we he wa only 14yrs old me 15yrs old ,I was actually seeing his friend,But I really didnt like him at all but it was the summer and I was bored,anyways I walked into the room the first time I saw him he was sitting upside down in a recliner(I know wierd)but he made me smile.That same day someone hit me with a pillow and it caught my fake nail and ripped it backwards! It hurt so bad ,but the guy I was dating just was more interested in trying to get in my pants than to get me something for my nail,Amp (short for Anthony)was the only one who cared enough to get up and do something for me .We started dating that night ,and been together ever since .he was the first sexually,taught me to drive ,first tattoo everything was my first and he was there ,he is my Best Friend!I would say our biggest issue was dealing with being young parents,We had a baby together at 15&16yrs old then another at 17yrs old.Everything worked out well now we are 23yrs old with a 5&6 yr old daughters ,we live together have good jobs and have been together for 8yrs and married for 5yrs!Anything is possible if you work at it and have faith,half of the people I know have kids and are not with their fathers and are depressed.Im as happy as I can be and wouldnt change anything we have been through for anything in the WORLD!

First marriage lasted 9 years, High School Sweetheart, he wanted other women so I Divorced him. It was hard to do because I still loved him. Second marriage lasted 22 years and I married him for wrong reasons to help raise my two kids, that was selfish of me and now I'm paying for it. I left him and Divorced him because I was ablout to pull out all my beautiful hair. I loved im BUT was NOT in Love with him. That makes a BIG difference. I even gave him a son which he's 16 and now chooses to live with his Dad. He has more freedom thats the only reason and his friends are near also. Living with me would alenate him from his friends, I live 45 minutes away.

met him as soon as i got off plane to move to new city-went from airport to coffee shop where he was manager,had nice chat.he liked me,but didnt mention it,as he was (unhappilly)married.flash forward,ended up working with himlater,not by plan,we were just both at same job.nothing,just coworkers,he was married,me involved.both quit eventually.strange-over the years,id go a long time without running into him,but whenever something bad happened,id run into him,suddenly-he'd encourage and cheer me,then go home and that would be it.one day,10 years after i moved here,i prayed for a new chapter in my life to begin-a relationship,a job or a hobby-something new and purposeful.next day,i ran into him.his wife had left-admitted she was gay all along.as soon as they were divorced,we married.i believe fate was telling me all along "this will be ur future husband"-after all,he was mysteriously there whenever i needed him,and he was the first man i met as soon as i got off the plane !!!!weve been married 2 years,and i feel as if evrything is as it should be-we are very happy,and despite the normal ups/downs couples go thru,im sure we were meant to be together,and will always be.the fact it took this long,and that we kept running into each other in a fairly large city-as if on cue-tells us that we are both where we ought to be.he truly is the answer to my prayer,and i adore him.happy new year !!! life is wonderful !!!!!
