we are really responcible...we bought a house when we were 19....its mostly my side of the family saying everything...my mom got married @ 16 and she and my father are divorced so she i figure she is just concerned...but after this amount of time i would think she would just be happy for us....i dont really care what most people say its just i love my family and still feel like i need their approval....

If your marriage is a happy and healthy one then who cares what others think? just because some people can't make it and don't start success in life so Early don't make it right to criticize others because they can.

If you are happy than thats all that matters dont let anyone else tell you you two were wrong to get married young. Some people wait a lifetime and never find true love so if you know you found true love at fifteen be happy because not everyone is so lucky!

Lol. you should be proud you found the perfect man so early, and that you guys love each other enough to commit. You didn't get married because you got pregnant or anything, so i don't see what the problem is. Your family and friends will probably get over it soon, it may be because they're jealous that you seemingly found the perfect man, or they're jealous that you've been carried away from them. They probably miss you being in the family. Its not really a young age, as long as its a healthy relationship.

I would say, better that we married and made a commitment with vows then just shacking up. We decided to be mature and do it the right way. Marriage first then kids later on. Just say, I think my husband and I made the best decision possible about our relationship and the level we took it to with the vows. We love each other and thats all there is too it.

there is nothing wrong with the age you got married!!! as long as you both know the hard work that it takes to make a marriage work rhey are only complaing out of concern most people who get married at a young age do it to get away from home and to be grown up but if you did it out of love then you go for it and I wish you all the happiness in the world!!!! GOOD LUCK !!!!

I got married at 18 and I used to get the thing from people. Just smile sweetly and say "Age doesn't discriminate when it comes to happiness. I'm happier than most people I know".
Congrats to you and just know, it takes a lot of work to keep it going. Don't ever stop working on it.

All that matters here,is that you are happy.Forget about their rude comments.It's your choice and your life...Be happy!
My daughter got married right after graduation[18] and her father and I were happy for her.She has been married for over 11 years now,and her marriage is just as strong today as it was on her wedding day..
Age has no garentee that a marriage will last.My brother-n-law was married for 25 years and now they are divorced.
Don't pay them any attention,they don't know what is in your hearts...

You don't need to be rude to shut them up, just keep being happy. That seems to be what pains them most. Keep up the good work. They see something they wish they had and if they can make you feel miserable by their comments then they win. You and your husband continue to be the winners, ignore them and go on with life.

I would respond by telling them how lucky you both feel to have found each other and to be happily married. Don't let other people's opinions and rude comments take away your happiness. Carry on with your life together and enjoy each other. Prove them all wrong!

Just ignore them...you are happy so why do you let them bother you like that...ignoring them will make you feel better, sinking to their level is not the solution...
I hope you have a great happy life with your love.
Renew your vows in a few years and invite them to see how happy you guys are
