I meet my husband when i was 14 years old. We was married when i was 16 year old. Had our first son when i was 16 years old. I am happy to say that we are still in love 14 years later. I am now 28 and love him more today then when i first meet him.Everyone said that we was toooooo young,and that it won't last.Well it did and still going very strong.I am not saying that ever 16 year old should go out and get married,but i am saying that love has no age.When you meet the love of your life you may be 10 year old or 100 years old.I do beleive that there is just one person out there for everyone. I hope that you meet yours.Because when you do your life just falls in to place.It is great.M husband is a awsome man. I am sooooooooo lucky to have him.Anyone else out there find thier one and only? If so ,How old was you when you meet?

Hi there slipknotfan! I am so glad to hear your love story. That's really great to have met your loved one in the earlier stage of your life and still have him all this time. In most cases, young love doesn't last for long considering the fact that both parties are still too young and are not yet ready for a commitment. So I would say that both of you are really so lucky to have found each other. Well, about my story.. I happen to meet my first love when I was 16. Too young as they say. But I know it was really love. I would even consider him my one great love. However, reality really bites. We were together for a couple of years yet didn't end up with each other. But the good thing is we are still friends despite the painful things that happened between us.

It is the law here that you can get married at 16 years old with your parents ok. They have to sign for it.What is up with only one child. Where you from? I have neave heard of that before. Who are they to tell you how many kids you can have.

My parents seen Brian as I did. Very nice and giving. I wasn't going down the right path at the time,so they know that he would help by getting me togther and doing what was right.. And he did.You know that it is the right one when you can't stand to be without him.It doesn't matter if he just walked out of the room. You want him back with you. When all you tink about is him and when the next time your going to be with him.You can't wait to touch him,if that is just holding his hand.When you hear a song and you think of what you was doing with him when you heard it the first time.Or you see a movie and you don't care if you like it or not you know that he does and that is all that matter.You know that it is love when all you think about is him.And what you can do to make him happy for life.I know Brian was my sould mate when i send his picture. Before i very talked to him.He had dated a exfriend of mind and i was going through her pictures when i seen his.I asked her who it was and she told me her exboyfriend. SO you know kids,i was like lets call him. We started talk.And that night i meet him at a skateing rink.We have been togther from that day on. With many more to come.It makes it easy when you have someone who loves you as much as you love them.Thanks for the comment

lol I know this tale! LOL SOunds like me and my hubby. Except we were younger. He was in the 5th grade and I was in the 6th (10 and 11 yrs old). We married when he was 17 and I was 18, and had our first child when I was 20. We are about to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Time sure flies doesn't it? :O)

WOW! That's wonderful. You two must be very happy together. It's always nice to hear a story like yours, congratulations! I agree that age is only a number. It does depend on how mature you are and some things you've experienced in life, but age is not very important in most instances.

Don't give up. It will happen.Let it come to you. Most people go out looking and most of the time you end up with someone that your not in love with,but you just want someone so you seattle.Wrong thing to do. Its not fair to you or them.Most of the time it come when you don't want it.Just like bills. You neave have them when you have money but if you don't have the money they come in by the dozen.Thanks for the comment

I think you are very lucky, in these days it seems to be very rare but I also agree that true love can happen at any age, I am a firm believer of soul mates and that can happen at any age what so ever, I hope you treasure what you have which I am sure you do....you are very very lucky

That's great! Was he your first love or you've been having relationships before him? I had 2 relationships before my husband. I have seen the difference of the feelings towards each men, that's how I realize it's him I wanted to be for the rest of my life. Before we were married, we even had a test when someone from other country I met from work proposed to marry me, but I really love my husband. We have 3 children now, 2 boys and 1 girl. We've been married for 10 years now.

Love is blind. Love has no boundaries. Love does not recognise age and appearance. I met my husband when i was 17 and he was 25. Many people do not approve saying that he was too old for me, including our parents. Nevertheless, they gave their blessings and we got married 6 months later, had our first child a year after. Now, I am 32 and he is 40. We are living in sweet marital bliss with 7 beautiful children, 4 boys and 3 girls. I am really grateful for not listening to the critics and really fight for my own happiness. My only hope that we will be blessed with further joy, fortune and good health.

What a beautiful love story. My situation was very similar. When I finally turned 18 I was introduced to my future husband, who was just about to turn 21. The age difference not being very great, my parents were still not very pleased, though they really liked my new boyfriend and thought he was very nice and treated me well. Six months after meeting, however, we were ready to get married, we just knew we had found our perfect love. My mom was so shocked, she never saw it coming. I remember knowing that I wanted to tell her but couldn't, and she'd make some comment like "Shon is such a good first boyfriend for you." Like she knew he was a stepping stone in my love life (don't get me wrong, my mom's my best friend, but she doesn't know everything about me). I would just smile and nod, thinking to myself , "No, mom, he's going to be my last boyfriend too, as in your future son-in-law." My parents were so worried and I remember hearing all my friends' parents and all the family friends giving us their blessings but muttering disbelief behind our backs. I know everyone thought we wouldn't make it, I know people thought we were young and reckless and didn't know a thing about life, love, or being responsible. Our parents had faith in us, nonetheless, and nearly five years later you don't see the worry in people's faces anymore. My husband and I have our arguments from time to time, but we love each other more today than we did when we were first in love. We have 2 beautiful kids together, are on our way to owning our first home, and life is beautiful. Young love is possible: I and so many of you are living proof of that.

love can come at any time, but you may actually come of age if the adult already. I married the age of 21 years, according to friends and relatives, the age is too young to get married. all depends from which we look maturity. adults does not depend on age.
