I included a picture of myself and my husband taken 10 months ago. I could not have asked for a better husband. We got married pretty young. We got married 2 months before I turned 20 and it was also 2 months before he turned 23. We have been together since I was 14! He is a wonderful father and an awsome husband. People think we made a mistake getting married young but it has been nothing but wonderful. I have spent 8 great years with him. We have 2 beautiful daughters together and I have an awsome 5 year old stepson. Did any of you get married young? Was it a mistake? Or was it a good choice?

8 years is a long time. I married just a few months after my 20th birthday he was 28. We are 4 years married we have a daughter and the kids from his first an 11 year old boy and 7 year old girl. I am lucky to have such a great family. I married the man of my dreams my perfect. question - if you have been together for 8 years how you do have a 5 year old step son?

My husband and I have been married 2 1/2 years but togehter 8 all together. Sounds like you do have a nice family there. LOL I thought someone would ask that question. We did split up for about 8 months when I was 16 and he was 19. He got his girlfriend at the time pregnant and he never knew about it until my stepson was 18 months old!!! I am very upset with his mother for that! We missed out on 18 months of his life. My husband now has full custody of his son, so it all is going good for us now. Thank you for your response.

Oh, of course not. I dont take it wrong. All step parents get into being a step-parent different ways. I hardly ever take it wrong unless the person is truely being rude about it.

wow! that is cool magrylouyu, I have known a lot of friends also who settle down at a young age and until this very moment they are enjoying being together. I got married quite late but if I met my husband during my teenage, I know I will also decide to settle down.

I know alot of people who marry later in life, wish they met their husbands/wifes sooner so they could have had more time with that wonderful person. It has been a bit of a struggle being a young family, but it's still the best. Thank you for your response.

I got married just recently at 23 years old and my husband was 25 years old. Everyone around us think that it was a huge mistake and that I'll later regret it. That's their opinions though, we're here to prove them wrong! If you're happy, then who cares what other people say.

I get that all the time, even to this day. I just ignore them. I agree with you. I have always thought that way as well. As long as we're happy who cares what the world thinks! Thank you for your response.

It always gives me a warm feeling whenever I hear or read beautiful, real love stories. I wasn't as lucky, but it is a great thing that you are. I got married at the age of 20 and it didn't turn out the same way as yours. We didn't have kids. We got separated after 4 years and I never remarried. I find it inspiring to know that there are still marriages like yours. It makes me believe that maybe true love is real. Your kids are fortunate, there's nothing better than to be with a family who love and adore one another. I hope that you'll always be as in love as you are right now. Have a great day!

congratulations you have a happy home life, even if you get married young. I also married young, I got married aged 21 years. early marriage when I felt I was very happy marriage. I did not find any mistakes choosing to marry young. but after time goes by, our domestic life began to get into trouble. I feel unhappy. but I do not regret choosing to get married young. because now I have a son who is very dear to me. I can not pour affection to the husband, but I could devote my love to the child. This was enough for me.

I know it sounds weird not being old enough to drink but being old enough to get married. I got married one month before my 21st birthday. My husband had just turned 29. In October we will be married 15 years. No typo. We have 2 sons together. My husband is the best thing that ever happened to me. I tell him that I thank God all the time, for giving me him. He is my brother's friend so I was 11 when I met him and always had a crush on him. He even asked my brother if he could ask me out before he did because he didn't want to hurt their friendship. His family knows my brother and my family. Our mothers get along so well they call each other all the time and go out sometimes. I could not ask for a better family situation. When I stop and think about it, I just smile because it almost seems it is too good to be true, but it is real. I wish everyone could have a marriage and families like ours.
