I am married to my first love. We have been together since i was 15 and he was 17. We got married when we were 21 and 23. We have two wonderful children ages 12 and 9. We have had alot of ups and downs but we keep going. Communication is the key..the older we have gotten the better it has gotten...It all depends on the individuals i believe.

My First love was funny. We were like Tom and Jerry. We didn't know anything about love. No date, no kiss, no hug but was fighting since our 6th standard till 12th standard:P Fortunately we broke up ( elopped with a guy:P) in 12th class. Thanks for putting up this topic. Now I got the time to refresh my mind for my first love.:)

Your response is honest, and I'm glad you shared it without any hesitation. It's good to know that you are over with your puppy love. My best wishes to you, as you're going to start a new beginning. May you feel the true essence of love and its sweetness.

I met my first love when I was 17 and we got married the same year which was very unusual. That was 36 years ago and will be celebrating our 37th anniversary next month. We are looking forward to having more anniversaries ahead of us. Cheers.

This classmate thinks I am his first love. I am not married to him, but every time he sees me, he take makes an intense look at me. Maybe he keeps his love for me. I think his love will always be there. He told my brother about his intention to propose but my brother discouraged him. My brother does not want me to marry him.

Yes and yes.
I met him when I was 12 and he was 16. I couldn't stand him, he barely noticed me. We were both in the debate club, so we saw each other quite a bit. I developed a tolerance for him; and as we both grew up, we grew to be friends.
The summer I turned 15, we went on a trip for debate. He'd already graduated, but his mom was the coach so he went anyway. On that trip, we saw sides of each other we'd never shown before. Both of us left knowing we'd be married, but didn't want to admit it. We grew closer and closer until "luv yas" turned to "love yas" turned to "I love yous."
It was never a "fall in love" situation, more of a "grow to love" relationship. We never kissed until our wedding day (incidentally, it was both of our first kiss period), so we spent all our time talking and getting to know everything about each other.
We got engaged the week after my graduation, married six months later, and 16 months after that we have a beautiful 4 m/o baby boy.

No, and I definatley wouldn't suggset it. Thats how most divorces happen. They meet in highschool, college or end up getting pregnant so they get married. The love falls of, people change and the relationship falls ruining everything.
First loves are usually ones you compromise things for. Usually, you don't actually know what you want in a relationship so you settle for less or maybe you hit the jack pot and the other person settled for less. These are the relationships where the cheating occurs. It's great for about 2 or 3 years and then things will go dramatically down hill...
but thats just my opinion. Experience = Knowledge = Decisions = Good Judgement = Happiness

No i am not with my first love and im glad to say im not.
He's probably in jail or got kids to 5 different woman. Back then my character judgement was very bad and I would fall for guys hard even although they would not be suitable for a long term commitment. Thats probably what made them all the more fun. Lol.
I just realsied that maybe unreliable guys had all the girls falling for them when they were younger and it didnt matter but as girls were getting old enough to worry about the future then they get absolutely no attention. Just a thought!

Nope. She is happily married and I am still unmarried... But I think it is good to be married to the first love. Going around here and there is not good!

First love is usually not the most mature of loves, and sometimes a marriage coming from that would be a disaster.It doesn't mean it can't work, but that is very rare.
First love comes at a time of discovery and it's kind of more like a learning tool than the real thing, maybe that's why it leaves such fond memories and lots of questions marks ( what if? if it hadn't ended what would have happened? etc etc etc )
Often people think back at it and wonder at times and that can be normal if it's taken into context. It's appeal it's mostly the fact that it didn't develop into anything and because often it's like an unfinished business, something that always leaves people wondering what would have happened if...?
If brought back to these people's present, more often than not would be dissatisfying and discarded.
A Lot of people think more about first love when they are in low periods of their lives or relationships. This is normal too, but just brings back the past in a fantasy light that has little to do with reality. Hence the appeal :)

My first love has ended years ago, my first love Valentine's already married, but the wedding is not me, I had thought they would love it, but then I found out it is the future many variables, healthy people only for their own comfort.

Well... let me tell you this. Yes! Lol. I am married to my first love! Lol. Maybe you wouldn't believe it, but it is true. I have been married to my husband for almost nine years now, and by the 31st of October, it is going to be nine years. I admit that before he came into my life, there are a couple of persons who had a crush on me but I didn't seriously thought I love them. I accepted their invitation to lunch and dating together but I didn't feel any spark of love being with them. So I don't consider both of that as love.
After nine years, our love is as strong as ever and I think we are going to love each other no matter what. We have fought numerous times but after the fight we became closer, not drifting apart. I am very grateful that I found this love. Thank you God for this. And to you Jleivang, have a nice day. God bless you, and I hope you'll find your love too.

Yes I have been married to him for 12 and half yrs now..The funny part is... when I was 13 I baby sat for one of his girlfriend. He was 21 at the time. I had the biggest crush on him it wasn't funny.. Well they broke up and I didn't see him or anything till I was 17 and we met eachother all over again..That first week we dated (i guess that is what u can call it).That weekend we went out and his daughter that was 7 at the time said to us that we was gonna get married. We bpth was embaressed about it..Later that night we went out with a cpl of friends.He got a little drunk I drove..On our way home we stopped a Perkins to get something to eat. And he asked me what I thought of what his daughter said I told him I would do it. And I asked him the same question and he said he would do it...Then he said he will ask me again in the morning to make sure...Well as you know he asked me again and I said I would do it..He told me to call my mom and tell her.. When I told her she asked what day I said March 25 and then she said I can't cause she had this bowling tournament..SO then I told her how about March 18th and everything was fine with that date..So we was married church wedding and a big reseption 3weeks later...LOL Kinda fast huh! But we are still married have 3 wonderful daughters...We are apart right now but who knows what is gonna happen?
