[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started dating when we were 15 (!) and got married at 25. Waited to have kids until early 30s. Many years later and we’re still happy. At this point, I’ve been with him longer than I haven’t, which seems crazy. I think one ingredient of success for us (besides the obvious parts of a good marriage) is that we took our time on things and let each other grow as individuals as well as a couple. I think that’s necessary to be realistic about when you get together so young. We went to different colleges, lived in different cities briefly post-grad, have different interests, etc. We also took our time enjoying married life and focusing on our careers before having kids. My 20s were really fun. [/quote]

I agree with this.  DH and I started dating at 20, married at 25, had our first DC at 30.  We spent our 20s together and it was such a fun time.  Married 14 years, with 3 DCs.  We didn't live together before getting married.  I was in grad school in another state and we got married right after I graduated.  So there was a little bit of friction with me 'taking over' his house in the beginning.  That's the only problem I remember from the newlywed days.

I'm happy and wouldn't change anything.  We have never disagreed about finances or frequency of sex, which is key.  Those seem to be the two biggest areas of contention, judging from the relationships forum.  [/quote]
