I met my husband when I was 16 yrs old, we moved in together when I was 19. We didnt get married until our 5 yr anniversary,  we were in no rush. But just because we didnt have a piece of paper saying we were married all those years dosent mean we didnt have struggles like any married couple. We just knew our love for each other was more important and worked them out. My husband was my first, and I think thats rare now a days to onky be with one man but when u find someone who makes u happy why change anything.  I am now expectinf our first child in December,  and can't wait.

I was 22 years old. (I'm 24 now)
Legally we are still married and not legally seperated even though we don't live together and havent in some time.
I married a man who left me 17 weeks into our planned pregnancy because he came back around and concieved when she was just over a week he wanted to be a family.
Shortly after being married, I felt like he was using my car to get drugs, not doing his share of baby duty and when I told him things like that I got beat up,...twice in the span of 5 months of living together. I have an order of protection on him. After my daughter turned  a year old I started going after him for child support. He said we aren't together and hes just her step father because he isn't on her birth certificate and she doesn't have his last name. I had to prove he was the dad through dna and when I did he still hasn't done **** for her and now she's 28 months old.I found out when court was done his new "fiance" wrote me on facebook with picture she stole of my kid next to pics of them and her, some sexual saying him and her were f*cking when we were first married.

I got married at 18, husband was 20. We started dating, and since the beginning we just knew. One day he was like "you know were going to get married right?" && we did, four months later. We've been married for about two years (it'll be two years in Nov) && I'm due in December. We've had our UPS and downs, but I'm so glad we went through those downs because It has made us appreciate each other more.

I am 25 yrs... i have been with my hubby since 2002 we didn't feel we had to be married. Untill we wanted another child....  I got preggers in 2008 with our first daughter and now she is 4 and we are having another girl 2/4/13 ish.. i will be truthful. .. its a lot of hard work. Ive had to work threw tons of things. Somw that most womn would walk away...And didn't think we would last. Just always have truthful communication. And when you have been with someone for so long you tend to know what they are thinking or next move. It tough but I wouldn't trade him for anything. ..

No one has said how her young marriage has affected her children ( I.e.  negatively,  positively,  not in any particular way)
Full feedback is probably most helpful to the OP (original post/poster)

Me and my husband met when I was 18, friends for a few weeks then started dating. A year later we were planning a wedding and got pregnant on purpose because my Dr said I couldn't so we wanted to at least try, which succeeded lol. We got married when I was 19 my husband was 22. Now we have a beautiful 4yr old son. My husband is almost 27 and I'm 24 and currently 27 weeks 3 days pregnant with our daughter. =) It has been a magical 6 years =) I love him so much more now. I still get butterflies when he kisses my forehead.

Ive been with my husband since age 16. We not actually married legally but spiritually we know were married. Weve been engaged for 4 years. Together for 6. Started living together at 18. We had our daughter at 19. Now our baby boy is due January. Were 22, and 23 now. After the baby comes i wont need my dads insurance anymore and we can finally make it official. :) if you knew our whole story it would really impress, as ive been through hell and back, and this man took care of me through it all! Had a broken pelvis at 17 and i can hardly walk already at 6 months along (literally) i know they will have to induce me early just like my first pregnancy. I will not be able to stand without assistance. Luckily i can walk normally once the pregnancy ends :) !! (sorry for the long story)

I married my hubby at age 19. I am now 23 almost 24 and he is 30. Im currently pregnant with our second child. We have a 4year old son and now were expecting a little girl in Dec.
We got engaged at our 6month anniversary. It was love at first sight. 3months later i found out we were having a baby and it wasn't a mistake. We were trying to get pregnant. Our marriage is still going strong. Alot of people assume we only got married because of our son. But that was not the case at all. We were engaged before i got pregnant and our son was planned.
We couldn't be any happier than we are. In Feb we will be celebrating our 4yr wedding anniversary and in may it will be 6yrs since we started dating.
