    I met my hubby at a bar shortly after I turned 19 and before he turned 24. We've been together 12 years and married 11. We've had 4 children (rest in peace sweet David). Marriage is a lot of work and I find it encouraging to see so many great stories:)

    I met my husband freshmen year of high school. He was a SR. and had a HUGE crush on me but so did his best friend. His best friend told him we were dating when we weren't so he started being really mean to me and we stopped talking. 3 years later, I get a message from him on Myspace saying that he was going through his old yearbook and came across a note from me and decided to look me up and see how I was doing. We have been together for 6 years now and married for 1.5 years:)

    I met my husband when I was 25 and he was 28. One of my close friends was dating one of his good friends, so they decided to set us up! And it worked........9.5 years later we are still together, married and have 2 children.

    Haven't met him/her yet. But my dad was 14 when he told my grandmother he'll marry my mom someday. Year later they were dating.
    Next year it'll be 35 years they've been together and 28 years they've been married.

    Still in love, even more than when they were kids. The way they click and function together still amazes me.

    I met my husband on a Contiki (18-35s) tour of New Zealand in June of 2009. He was living in America, I was living in Australia. We hit it off in just 3 days, so he decided to come to Australia for a few weeks so we could get to know each other. At the end of his time there we had already said I love you, and decided to try the long distance thing. We dated for two years, travelling between the States and Australia every few months to see each other, usually just for a week or two. We got engaged Christmas of 2010 and applied for a fiance visa so I could move to the US. My visa was approved in June of 2011 and we were married one month later, now living in Germany on military orders. I was 24 and he was 23 when we met. :) And let me tell you, applying for a green card through marriage is a lot easier on TV than it was in real life!

    I was a divorce mom of a toddler and 23 years old when I met him. He was 30. We both worked at a very expensive steak house. Me as a waitress and him as a cook. We were friends first, he was after me to go out with him for 6 months before I relented. We would get together with people we worked with and shoot pool when we got off from work and he would just follow me around. LOL. I agreed to go to his apartment to watch the superbowl and fell in love with him that night. I had always known what a nice person he was, but that part of his personality shone through that night.

    He came home with me on Valentines Day that year (1991) and he never left. We married a year and a half later and celebrated our 20 year anniversary in May of this year.

    There have been ups and downs, but we have managed to plow through. We still love each other as much, and sometimes probably more, than we did when we first were living together. I can appreciate so many of his traits now that I didn't really notice before. He is one of the kindest people you could ever meet and he's my best friend. He calls me his life mate.

    I had a crush on him when I was 13, but I couldn't catch his interest til I was 17. Him being five years older might have had something to do with that. Just about to celebrate 12 years of marriage, and just passed 17 years as a unit.

    We were both 20. Met on Ambleside (in cumbria UK) climbing wall, Sunday morning 19th January. Will have been married 25 years next year. During the really difficult times I wonder what my life would have been like if I had stayed in bed that morning?! lol!!

    In 2004 my best friend at the time was dating his son. I was separated with 2 children, and his son introduced us. He was a widow with 4 boys and 2 step children. We hit it off right away. 2 years after we met I became a widow. I was 40 and he was 46 when we met. We have been together going on 9 years.

    My husband and I grew up in the same neighborhood. We had all the same friends but because he was a year younger than me I thought he was a nerd.

    I was 20 when we met again. We started dating, then 2 weeks later he left for deployment training in Mississipli. That was in January. He came home for 4 days in March before leaving for iraq and we were married March 6th 2010.

    We met REALLY young. I was 16 and he was 19. We started dating more seriously when I was 17 and got married when I was 22. Celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary last night. I guess we've kind of grown up together.
