Im getting married, and i keep thinking that the rest of my LIFE is a loooong time!
How has your love for your husband/wife grown or changed over the years? Do you ever regret marrying? Who had doubts before the wedding and things turned out great? Just interested. Thanks!!

ALSO....
Some people tell us we're "too young" to get married (we're both 20 we'll be almost 22 when we get married)... How old were you and how did it work out?

We were very young when we married. We have grown physically, emotionally, spiritually. Our years together have bonded us much closer than we were when we got married. If anything of a truly serious nature took place at that time we weren't mature enough or experienced enough to handle the situations. There were times when the kids were younger that life just felt overwhelming and it was easy to forget to nurture the marital relationship. So, my only advice to you is that no matter how long you are married or how many kids you will. ALWAYS take care of yourself and your mates needs first. When you stop being friends ; you will stop being everything else. That is when most will abandon ship. Do that and the rest will fall into place. Pursue individual interests as well as mutual ones and you will then be partners. Best wishes in your future.

I have been married for almost 3 years, I waited until I was in my 30's before I got married. Honestly, I have to say life was a lot easier before marriage. Yes I regret doing it some days, and other days I don't know what I would do with out my husband. He was a nervous wreck on our wedding day, i was cool as can be. But then I never really get too excited over anything.
I would have to say my favorite thing about being married is having someone to share my good times and bad times with. Knowing no matter what I do or say he will always support me.

If you are under 30 years old WAIT!!!
I got married when I was 24 years old and it was a BIG mistake.
I thought I knew this guy and it turned out he was practically living a double life.
After 30 you have your head screwed on and are less naive to b.s.
I remarried when I was 30 to a man I have know since high school and our relationship has evolved in a way I never thought possible. I never knew that being married would be so fulfilling.
It's great sharing your hopes and dreams with someone and having them support you both emotionally and physically.
If you are open minded and willing to grow together a marriage is one of the most wonderful things in this world.
If you have doubts DON'T do it!!! There is no reason you have to get married. Look at some of the Hollywood couples who have not gotten married. Being in a committed relationship is just as good.

ive only been married for almost a year. everyone goes through feelings of regret or anger or hate...and it will happen more than once. This is normal. Marriage is about making the union last even after the infatuation and initial flame dies. It is a very tough but fulfilling and wonderful experience. My favorite part of being married is knowing that I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.

Hello,
No i do not regret marrying him.. He is the best thing that ever happened to me and my kids lives... He is a great and loving husband... Yes my love has changed it has grown stronger and better over time.... If you are not ready to marry then do not do it or commit to it until you are!!! One of my favorite things about being married is i can kiss him anytime i want to!!! I love having him by my side through good times and bad and i love holding hands and spending time with him.

20 is pretty young. there is`alot of life out there to experience esp. if you have worked hard on eduacation and career. there is travel and friends. im not saying break up but once you are married as a woman it is a lot of work and responsibility - not to mention kids - so make sure you live your life. you guys can stay together and get married later. good luck
ps - marriage is good but a committment and sometimes you end up giving up yourself for the relationship/family.

Things get so much better with marriage. You have a commited adult real relationship. you get to grow old together, plan things to do together. You always have a date for the weekend, even if you stay home, curl up on the couch and watch movies. I just got married last august and I can't tell you how much better it feels. Even though we lived together for 2 years, it is a ton better.

i've got been with my guy for 10 years and, I do have some complaints, yet each ones does. the better area is having somebody who is familiar with of each little thing approximately me and loves me besides, offered me infants, a house, a alluring relatives existence and a ultimate buddy in each way. I particularly does no longer sense mushy being with anybody else, regardless of each little thing this time. some guy touched my leg and that i smacked his hand and jumped like ten ft. i won't be able to stand to have anybody else touch me, i like my husbands palms and caress... i ought to in no way be with anybody else and particularly, if he ever exceeded, i might decide to be on my own fairly then get re-married. My love is my love for existence, no rely the united statesand downs.

Well, I'm not married. We live together with commitment, so it's the same difference really. We're engaged, but the wedding has no meaning to me. It's just for show. What's the best part? Oh, I don't know the whole thing. Just being with him and him being with me. It's nice. Besides, I've got someone to cook and clean for me. :)
