    I married my husband whom I met in high school, we didn't get serious til college, been together 25 years, 3 children and were still happy, and it amazes me how love can continue to grow after all these years. As we see our children becoming adults we are both awaiting with pleasure the time when it will be just us two again. Oh, been married 19 years.

    I was a senior in high school when I met my husband. He was a freshman in college. We have been married for 11 years and have three beautiful girls:)

    My first HS love though, no....its a good thing I didn't marry him. I am a Christian and he is agnostic:(

    I'm marrying my crush from high school this summer. We've been dating for 5 years now. I can't REALLY call him my high school sweetheart since we didn't start dating until the summer after I graduated. He's my first boyfriend and he's set the standard pretty darn high. We have some very major differences (Republican Christian- Libertarian Agnostic marriage anyone?), but both of us have so many other things in common (love of science, boating, swimming, science fiction, music, video games, modeling hobbies, computers, animals, hiking, movies to name a few) that it only matters once in a great while.

    Also awesome, we're both really flexible and both willing to learn. I'm learning more about Christianity from him and he's pretty much got a associates degree of science knowledge from me.

    Started dating when I was 15, he was 18. Got married in July, couldn't be happier. You don't get to choose at what point in your life God gives you your soul mate. Sometimes it's 15, sometimes it's 50. We got a lot of smack for getting married so young, but I knew I would never find anyone else so gentle, caring, loyal, forgiving, trustworthy and kindhearted. Never. We just decided that since we knew we were each other's life companion, we were going to do it right by getting married to go off to college together instead of just moving in together or something. We want our children to have what every child deserves, a stable home with a mother and a father who are married. I would never ever give up on our marriage. We're all human... every one makes mistakes and has flaws. But love has no conditions. :)

    Married my first love/high school sweetheart while I was still IN highschool! Springbreak, 1990. He is still my best friend and love of my life! Married for 22 years with 3 beautiful, smart and well mannered boys. Our oldest is 22 (yes, I was 'knocked up') and he is a senior at Purdue University, majoring in Anthropology. We also have a 15 year old and 13 year old.

    I met my best friend when we were 5 years old. And even though we moved apart for 7 years, we found each other again and have been married for over 13 years! It has been amazing.

    My first love yes..I was 22 and he was 30 when we met and I was 26 and he was 34 when we married.. He might not have been my high-school sweetheart, but I know if I married him we would have worked out maybe a year or so, but that is it.. I will always hold special memories for him..

    he wasn't my first boyfriend but we were high school sweethearts. We've been together 19years, married for 16 and have 5 children together. We've had our share of ups and downs but know that marriage takes work and aren't afraid of putting in that work. We are still very much in love.
