I have always questioned this. My friend, who is now 22, started dating her boyfriend when she was 14. They have had their share of problems like any other relationship of course, but they're still together, going strong, and will most likely get married.
Isn't there stuff she missed out on? For example partying, the single life, no strings attached sex? Is this stuff we later on in life miss?
Sometimes I just wonder how some young couples do in fact make it ...

I acctually can relate to your friend. I am 20, and I'm married. Yes married I am and I'm 20. I meet my husband when I was 13- if I had a choice i would have dated him from day one.
I did date other guys, and I did the single go out and party view for OH about 3 months. And you know what I realized its a supperficial lifestyle- while fun (dont think I'm dissing it) because I love dancing at clubs.
My husband and I had an understanding that If I wanted to go out with my girls he went out with his boys. Things she is missing out on is not much other than possibly wrong relationships. If she is with a man in which loves her for her then that is love. The thing is my husband and I have LOTS of single friends and you know what we realized we can still party with them! Just being married or coupled at a young age is not missing out on life. We can do the same things just as everyone else.
You know what when you said "sometimes I just wonder how some young couples do in fact make it..." --- I can just tell you this. Love is one of the strongest forces in life- one person will make his/her sacrifices for that "party life, no strings attached" stuff. At the end of the day it comes down to that the love of your life loves you for you. And choices that are made effect each other- good or bad. That is what makes love and strong relationships work.
Sex topic- there is nothing wrong with only sleeping with one man for the rest of your life. I did infact wait for my husband- because I wanted to wait for the RIGHT man, not just a fling theres no love- just lust. When sex comes into the picture it is something so intimate that 2 should share it to the fullest. The "no strings attached sex" is to only get pleasure. When being with the one you love and having sex is not just pleasure, but a full completeness of a man and woman. IF your friend is happy and in love and can't live a day without her boyfriend then she is deeply in love, and friends should only support her.
For there is one thing I have realized getting married- we find out who our real friends are. Those friends are the ones who support our decisions, and even if they live a different life style can't be happier to hang out with us despite us being a couple.
(I hope this helps out- because I feel I haven't missed out on anything and I have meet lots of people but at the end of the night all i want to be with is the love of my life, and the friends who support my decision and still see the real me)

Well, young couples do stay alive because some of them see eachother at school everyday. Teens and stuff go out alot and are very sociable and flexible people.

they have survived and will survive becuase it is not the time that you fall in love, but the person you fall in love with that matters. as long as there is honesty and respect they will manage it.
give them my best wishes.
