People who got married young, did it work out?

Question

Or even if you didn’t get married and just started something serious at a young age.

I honestly think it's more of the signs of the times (cultural shifts of the generations) rather than getting married young? I don't know I mean my parents were married at 23 and 24 (mom and dad respectively) way back in 1976 and they know what commitment/dedication means! They've been through a ton together and are still strong.

Granted they were lucky to marry MATURED, KIND individuals that knew what it took to be RESPONSIBLE and COMMITTED! Mom was a working mom just like dad, and so in a way, that was what helped the family afford a maid (one for the house and one to take care of me and my brother when we were younger).

Nowadays I feel like people are all about themselves! It's no wonder the word NARCISSIST got so popular! They don't know a lot of the times, what it takes to self-sacrifice or to be responsible with certain things!

Anyway, that's all I gotta say for now.

Oh and don't expect your partner to make you happy all the time, that's YOUR responsibility!

Bowing out for now. Peace!

Not me but my parents got married at 18 (freshly 18) and 20 literally bc my mom was pregnant with me. No one thought it would work out and my mom didn’t even want to be married rlly, it was more so that my strict Japanese grandma forced her (if you’re Asian you know marriage out of wedlock is a bigggg no no especially in transitional families) but 22 years later and they’re still together.

Sure they fight and argue and both had to learn to adjust to being married so young but they love each other.

My girlfriend was 15 and I was 16 when we met in high school. It wasn’t long until we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. One thing led to another and we had set. We thought we knew the weeks of the month when she could get pregnant, but we slipped up and she got pregnant. One thing we knew, we were in love and wanted to get married. The year? 1972. 50 years later we are still together and still in love. Sure, it hasn’t always been easy, but we were committed. We got counseling when necessary, read countless books together about romance, relationships, how to communicate, and how to keep our sex life hot. I would not change a thing!

Yes, but because people with less to no real partners are capable of great bonding. Especially women with their hormones, if they get the right amount of oxytocin, vasopressin, opioids, CRF, and related hormones.

None of my highschool friends made it through graduate school together. My cousin got married at 18 and was divorced just before her 26th birthday.

I read that marriages that happen before 20 and after 35, have the lowest chance of divorce.

Loretta Lynn married at age 15 and her marriage lasted 5 decades until her husband died. Throughout history until 100 years ago, girls marrying under the age of 16 was common and there is no reason to believe their marriages were less successful than girls that married later. Some studies, including the following, indicate that marriages at ages 20 through 24 are slightly more successful than marriages at age 25 and older.

i know a couple who have been together since end of middle school, pretty much high school so middle school is stupid, and they had a kid out of wedlock, then got married, the dude looks miserable, is balding and fat now (she is also fat), and he has been known to act "creepy" around female friends. i guarantee he has cheated and knows of his creepiness, and yet there she is... with 2 kids. don't think she can survive without the 2 incomes so... i know most people would rather be stuck than poor in this inflation.

Whether young or old in age, it depends on how mentally balanced the couple are and whether their core values are aligned. Otherwise, you'll have what we see more of these days. Each does what seems right to thyself. It doesn't work in relationships

Labokachulaa · Answer

Yes it worked out, but it takes a lot of forgiving. That's what most people don't understand, you have to be willing to forgive them. Also, if you don't know how to communicate properly, that will take a huge toll on the relationship.

I dont think there's a one size fits all statistic. Got married at 25. Wife was 20. Made it 10 years and going. doesn't mean its all been happiness and roses, there's a lot that goes into marriage

My parents have been married for 31 years and are happy as can be. She was 22 and he was 23 when they got married. But I think they did all of that in a very different time. I would like to think I could find the same kind of happiness they have, but marriage today is very different than it was back then. For men, getting married today is a huge risk that is not worth it anymore for most guys. I'm sure I don't have to explain why that is.
