Has anyone ever met their wife/husband at 19 and stayed together with them?

Question

I met my boyfriend at 19 and I’m now nearly 23, I love him to bits, he is my best friend and treats me like a princess and loves me for every little thing about me. I never thought I was a funny person before meeting him but he always tells me I am the funniest person he knows, which makes me feel so special and understood. I trust him completely. He has every trait I would want in a husband and father for kids and our life plan/goals/interest totally and utterly align while I also feel our personalities are similar but different enough to balance eachother out in the best ways too. The way we met was very organic and I sometimes think faith? I was starting uni, and had no where to live, got a last minute offer the day before I started to live in a house full of boys and I had no choice but to take it, and he happened to be on of them boys, I don’t think I’d have ever crossed paths with him otherwise. But everyone around me thinks it’s crazy that I would or think I could marry my first long term boyfriend when I met him so young. I have been with other men in the past before him but just have never officially dated them, and I didn’t like being single either it’s not as fun as it’s made out to be. So my question is am I crazy for thinking this could be the real deal and we could be happy for life together or are all these people correct that I am too young to have met my future husband already.. p. s. I don’t actually plan on marrying the guy until I am at least 28 as I want to be 100% sure and not married too young (I’m 23 now, he is nearly 25)

My sister met the man she would marry, Kevan when she was 16 and he was 17. They went to high school together and my sister’s friends knew him and his friends knew my sister. When they met, they were immediately infatuated with each other and they and a group of friends went out to eat that night. My sister wanted to get Kevan’s attention, so while he was driving them to the restaurant they were going to eat at, my sister, who was sitting in the back middle seat pulled up her shirt and flashed him lol! It worked. He crashed and they started dating. He went into the army when he was 18, but before that he asked my sister to marry him. She was only 17, but said yes. They have been together now for 24 years and have 2 kids and they still adore each other! If you feel like this man is your lifetime partner and he feels the same way about you, far be it for anyone else, including your loved ones to say otherwise! I’m happy you found a man who treats you this well. I’m with someone who is honestly not very nice to me sometimes and we’ve been together for a very long time, but I don’t want this kind of partner forever. I want the kind of love you have! So thank you for posting and letting me know that kind of relationship is possible! Maybe I can have that someday too! ♥️

There is a couple of influencers on TikTok and YouTube called Matt+Abby. They met far earlier, when they were in their early teens, but didn't pursue a relationship. While she had a huge crush on him, he didn't see her as more than a friend for years. When he turned 18 he decided he wanted a girlfriend and began to think of her, his long-time friend, as someone who was actually pretty attractive. He asked her out on his birthday and their get-together turned romantic. They began dating and then eventually got married and had a kid. I think they're going for kid #2 now, but she's not pregnant again and most of their new vlogs are about raising a baby. By the way, this was the first relationship for both of them.
My first girlfriend is probably the person I will marry. We've been together for almost 4.5 years and if I would propse now, she'd accept. I can't due to financial reasons, and she knows why I can't, but I want to. It doesn't matter that this is my first relationship, all it means is that I hit the relationship jackpot on my first try.
It doesn't matter when you find your soul mate, it just matters that you did.

That was about the age my parents met at (they were both in college, and I'm not sure exactly when they started dating), and they were together for life. Does marrying your first long-time SO mean you miss on dating other people? Yes- but if you find the right one, why does that MATTER?

Well, I met my wife when she was 15 and I was 16. We never dated anyone else and we have been married 50 years. I always thought, when you find the best, why look anywhere else? We share multiple interests, we are best friends, and still passionate lovers. It hasn’t always been easy, but we were both committed to grow emotionally healthy. The hardest person to change is the person you look at in the mirror.

Hi, I met my wife when I was 18. She is five years older than me, and we have stayed together. We have been married for 12 years, have two kids, and everything that goes with that. Have we had arguments or tough times? Yes. But we worked through them and have come out the other side better.

I was almost twenty when I met my boyfriend, who I've now been with for ten years, of which the last four I have been very happily married and we now have two beautiful children.

My friend met her husband at 14 and they're still together.

LazerBean · Answer

We met at 16 and 17. Typical what I see is if the couple doesn't get married within 5 years of dating, you can pretty much count on them never getting married though.

Unfortunately no. I had some toxic people in my life at 19. I just met my boyfriend at age 24 and I'm really hoping this works.

Many people stay together in their first serious relationship. In fact it's better that way. Hang on to each other.

I'm sure quite a few Boomers on here may have. Loyalty, morals and hard work were rewarded in their generation. They're looked at with derision now.

i envy people, strongly envy, who got to date and be in a relationship very young, such as either teenage years or early, beginning of 20s, not everyone gets to have that

Thinking about relationships and couples makes me mad due to my lifelong resentment of men always being expected to be the confident assertive ones or having to be the initiators

Wise4myage · Answer

I'm sure that has happened, especially in the past.

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah, 2 of my sister's met thier husband's at that age. One is 54 and the other is 49. Both are still happily married with kids.

Nahid1707 · Answer

That is interesting because your age here is wrong  You do sound as a happy girlfriend

AmeerX · Answer

Just marry him now. Your wait of 5 more years will make you old and uninteresting to him.. tie the knot or you will regret it later. You don't know who will live longer or what will happen in 5 years. Things can quickly change too.. so marry him asap
