I’m interested to see how young or how old people were when they first met the ‘right one’
Has anyone waited until they’re 35-40 or even older? Has anyone married as a teenager & never had any regrets?
I’m just curious……

My husband and I met when I was 17 and he was 19. We met at a pizza place where I worked and well let's just say he loves pizza. We only dated for 6 mos and got married three days after my birthday. We've had our ups and downs in our almost 25 years of marriage,but we still have sparks and we can't keep our hands of each other. We have two kids 23 -soon to be 24 and a 17 - soon to be 18. Our oldest just got married beginning of last year and just had their honeymoon baby this past year. So yes, we are grandparents as well. AND, our son is graduating this year.
Do I regret it? Absolutely not!! I don't recommend kids getting married that young at all, but we made it work because we loved each other and took our vows seriously.
Had plans for our 25 anniversary, but due to family emergencies this year, we have to wait, however, we hoping to at least get away for the weekend. :)

I was 17 and my wife was 16 when we first got together. That was back in 1986 and we have now been married for 13 of the past 21 years! Believe me when I say that life is no bed of roses but we made it good and have 2 beautiful girls. The eldest is nearly 16 and going to college this Sept and the youngest 13 and doing well in school. I like to think that we brought them up to respect their elders and I think having a loving mum and dad helped a lot. I'm not saying that kids from a broken home can't turn out well. I was from one myself and I think that deep down although my mum is the greatest, bringing up a child in a relationship built on love and trust with both parents is the better start in life. So to sum up, although we got together young, my wife has no regrets and i certainly don't. She is my solemate!

When me and my wife met and got together first time round i was 15, my wife 14. We broke up a few months later and went our seperate ways until a couple of years later when we got back in contact over the phone.
When i was 19 and my wife 18 we got back together.
We got married 11 months later when i was 20 and my wife 19.
Our daughter was born 14 months later.
We will be celebrating four years of marriage this July.
We have no regrets and both know we have met our soul mates early and feel very lucky and privileged.

I met my husband when I was 17 and he was 19. We are highschool sweethearts and we have been together for 7 years. We waited until after college to get married, so we have only been married for 1 1/2 years. I am now 24 and he is 26 and we have no regrets. We feel as though we are "soul mates" and we are loving every minute of our marriage.

I was 16 when we met, he was 25, we bought our first house when I was 19 and got married when I was 23, had our first child when I was 24 and second at 25.
We seperated two years ago and divorce was finalised last year when I was 34 - I spent half of my life with him.
I think as I got older, I began to think for myself more and formed my own opinions and he didn't like that - he wanted to be in control and ultimately we grew apart because he didn't appreciate that although I was a wife and mother (and worked full time) that I was also an individual with my own thoughts.
But I know plenty of people whose relationships have survived.

My husband and I got together when I was 17 and he was 18. We were highschool sweeties. We got engaged, and then found out that I was pregnant and the baby was due right after our 2 year dating anniversay, which was when we planned on getting married. We decided to go ahead with it anyway, despite our families protests. It was honestly hell, and we had no support from any of the people who were supposed to love us, but we wanted our baby, and wanted to be a family, so we did it. On feburary 16, we celebrated our 2 year marriage anniversary, and 4 years together total. I swear to God, it gets better every day. We went thru a lot together and it made us so strong, and bonded us. Our daughter is almost 2 years old, and shes the best thing that has ever happened to us. People ask if we wish we would have had more fun before "settling down". We say, we are having more fun now than we ever did. We are closer to eachother, closer to our families and friends, and are able to do more of the things we enjoy. We find our lives to be incredibly fulfilling and enjoy every minute. The drinking, partying, gambling, etc., has always bored us. Like the song says, I dont want to waste my life getting wasted. Hubby has a job he loves, I stay at home with our daughter and run a home business. People comment that she is the smartest, most loving, and happiest 2 year old they have ever seen. No regrets, and we have so much to look forward to! I couldnt ask for more, and consider myself truly blessed to already be leading a truly fulfilling life at only age 21.

I was 17 (he was 28) and we married when I finished Uni at 22. It failed 3 years later. I look back and see now that I was too young to make the decision to marry because at the time I really thought he was the one. I'm not promiscuous so I hadn't 'shopped around' and I now wish I had.
My Mum however was 15 when she met my Dad and they had 36 years of marriage until my Dad passed away unexpectedly this year at 59. She would never even consider another man!
Everyone is different and needs to discover their own path.

Met my hubby at 17, started dating at 18. We got married when I was 20. We waited to have children, we have a 3 year old daughter and are contemplating adding another addition to our family sometime next year. This August we will be celebrating 10 blissful years of marriage.
~ Do I regret anything? Yes, my parents made we wait a year to plan the wedding and to have a "proper engagement", I wish we would have married sooner, I have loved every min. of life with him!

I'm 21 and I've known the man I'm going to marry for two years now. He was my best friend even while I was in a previous abuse five year relationship. He never tried anything on me either!
But now he and I are together and we plan to get married. He's 22, and sweetly enough, I was his first also. Which made me feel so good. He told me that he never cared enough for another girl to want to have sex with her. He wanted to avoid all the pregnancy scares, stress, etc. But when we started dating he said he knew I was the one he wanted to be with for the rest of his life, and wanted me to be his first and only. Trust me, no 22 year old guy lies about being a virgin lol.
