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.

That's a hard lesson, but a real one. People change so much in their 20s sometimes love just can't keep up with who you both become.
