I have been with my husband since I was in the 8th grade. We dated for 6 years 11 months (because we started dating so young). We have been married for 12 years and I love him to pieces!! I am 32, he is 34. We have 2 children. Our daughter is 9 and our son is 7. We work on our relationship often having dates.
I am not sure of the statistics, but if you love each other and truly want it to wrok, you can make it work.
Good luck.

I don't have the statistics, but statistics don't matter here. Some of these relationships work and some don't. The ones that work do so because the people in the relationship make it work.
My brother married his high school sweetheart before either of them were 20. They have 4 kids (youngest starts kindergarten this year) and have been married for more than 11 years.
Any relationship can work with the right foundation!

I am not sure about the number, or the statistics...but what i hear from tv and all of that is that if you marry before age 25 the divorce rate is increased quite a bit.
However, I can tell you about my own experience:
I married my high school sweetheart. We dated juior and senior years of high school and we got married when i was 19 and he was 21. Currently I am pregnant with our first child, he is in the army and we have been married (very happily!!) for almost 3 years now. So i am all for it, if you know for sure that you are with a person that you are really compatable with, a true friend you know?

I have not a clue what the stats are but I sure would like to know. I married my HSSH and we now have 2 children. As well as my sis, and a few of my friends. All are separated or divorced(including myself). If you are "thinking" about marrying your HSSH, maybe you shouldn't do it. You will know if you are ready.If this is you already.....fight for it if you want it or let it go now if you don't.Its better for the children to see you happy apart than angry together.

The probability of a divorce later in life is higher the younger you get married. It is significantly higher for those under 20.

i met my husband when i was a sophomore in high school (he was a senior). we married four years later. getting married young is not easy. if staying married were easy, everyone would stay married. however, i can tell you that 21 years and two kids later, i wouldn't change a single minute of it! :)

Depends on how much fight you have in you......marriage is about Work....not really love.
