Still together after children in your teens??

Question

I began my family at the age of 17 and i have now got 4 gorgeous kids who i adore. I am now 23 and still with my partner of whom has fathered all my children. We have been together since i was 16 and him 18. We have never claimed benifits, we are buying our own home and both of us work to provide for our little cherrubs. How many people are still together after starting a relationship in your teens?

Answer 1

My husband and I started "dating" when we were 14yrs old, little freshman in high school. We stayed together all four years and ended up getting pregnant our daughter about a year after graduation. We got married, got into college, he went into the marines and our daughter,Sam, was born Dec 1989 right before Christmas and him being shipped out. We had both just turned 20yrs and we scared and excited at the same time.
We worked, stuided, graduated, saved and bought a lovely 3 bedroom home. It was so tiny in reality but huge and welcoming to me. We lived there for 8yrs and then moved into another town with a great school system and a bigger home. We had two more children, Jake almost 6yrs ago and Ava, almost 5 years ago.
We're now 38yrs, happily married for 18yrs.

Answer 2

My husband and I met when I was 15 and he was 16 and started dating a year later. We dated all through high school and then decided to split up after graduation since we were bothing going away for college. All I did was miss him. We both came home from college after our freshman year and got back together and got married 3 years later.
We've been married 11yrs now and have 3 boys and a baby girl ages 9, 7, 3 and 1 week old. We live in a lovely home, have a great relationship and the family we use to talk about as a joke when we were teens.
Best wishes =]

Answer 3

I met my boyfriend (now husband) when I was 14 and we are still together 12 years on. He is 7 years older than me so as you can imagine, we got a lot of stick about the age difference, but we proved everybody wrong. We got married when I was 20 and we had our first child when I was 25. Like you we have never claimed any form of benefits, and have always paid our own way in life. We are currently in the process of buying our first home (which is really stressing us out) and we are so happy.

My parents started dating when they were 15 and at 17 my mom got pregnant with me. They married and 26 years later, they are still together. All three of us have done well. They have managed to raise a teacher,nurse, and a college student. I know it is hard and my mom and dad went through a lot ofstruggles, just remember to keep on track and good luck!
