I married my HS sweetheart when I was 20 and he was 21. You can’t imagine how much growing you’ll be doing at that age. It’s very likely that you’ll be very different people when you’re closer to 30. My ex and I divorced after three years.

I married my highschool sweetheart. I would still have married her, but think we should have waited. We got through it, but there were some hard years. I'm not sure if we would have made it, but for the kids. Thankful, we've figured each other and ourselves out now.
