[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fwiw, I met my future husband at 19, fell head over heals in love, and married him at 23. We are still very happily married 17 years later with 3 kids. But I attribute that largely to luck. I was just extremely fortunate to meet the love of my life at a young age and we’ve grown up and gone through life together. Although it worked out for us, I’m not sure I’d be quite so on board with any of our children getting married that young.

I will tell you though, I remember feeling like a full fledged adult back then. [/quote]

My dream since childhood has always been to be married and be a mom. Yes, I could be a working mom and have a career, in case you were wondering. I never found anyone until my late 20s. I spent my 20s working, traveling, etc., but it wasn't as fun as settling down (for me).

I'd say you were lucky too. There are a lot of advantages to building a life with someone younger. You can save a lot of money before the kids come, you can buy a house earlier, etc. If my daughter marries early and the guy treats her well, that is fine by me.[/quote]
