Do you know any happy couples who married very young?

[Anonymous]

Was thinking today that the majority of my friends who are unhappily married and complain about their husbands the most...the one thing they have in common is that they married young. Early 20's. I hear the same complaints - husbands don't help enough, aren't ambitious enough, etc. All married guys from their hometown. Is there something to this?

I know two couples that met in college and married right after. They are among the happiest couples I know. Neither are from the same hometowns.

Yes, I do. One of my good girlfriends married at 21; he was 25. They're a very happy, successful couple with a great life. They've been together for almost 30 years, married for 27.

DH and I married at 24/25. I don't know any couples who are as happy as us. Marriage has been pure bliss for us. That first year of marriage was our favorite year of any.

DH definitely pulls his 50%, but neither of us are bean counters. We're both hard workers

No. From reading here we all know that's not true.

I married at 20, just about to hit the big 25 year mark. He was my neighbor.

Brother married his best friend's sister, they are still going strong 28 years now.

Immaturity doesn't know age. Some made poor choices for mates.

I met my wife in the 4th grade in 1975. We started dating in 1980 and were married in 1991. Still happily married today.

I am very lucky to have found the person to share my life with at such an early age.

Is it perfect, nope. Would I change anything, nope.

married at 22. two kids, at 24 and 26. happy. we had some bumps going through deaths in the family and work stress, but have a very strong marriage.
I would say we were mature then and still are. we have our differences, but an unmistakable bond.

I'm happily married - got married when I was 26, which I don't consider young but is younger than average in DC.

My husband and I met in high school, dated all through college and grad school and got married at 23 and 24. We've been happily married for 14 years.

My in laws. He was 22, she was 20. Of course, the marital roles were very firmly set. which helps a lot.
