My husband and I married young. You might say we "robbed the cradle" since we were both just seventeen. Ours has been like any marriage. We've had our struggles and moments of joy. We've had a house fill of young 'uns, a good share of pets, and plenty of noise and mess. We've grown up together and hopefully, we'll grow old together.
Some folks say teenage marriages are doomed to failure, but I wouldn't trade mine for anything. (Not today anyway...) All marriages take plenty of work and lots of sacrifice. And, with God's help we can survive. I know it is only by His grace that we have and will.To see the other participants in the new round of ABC Wednesday, click here!

Wow. Impressive. Most marriages of young people cannot survive the changes people of that vintage inevitably go thru. So congrats.

Sweet post. You sure have been through a lot together, and what a great bunch of kids you have raised.
ReplyDeleteJames, I hardly think two weeks makes a significant difference. And yes, you were a cutie. :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!! I absolutely understand teenage marriages are not ideal, but I would not trade mine, either:-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Marriage is difficult enough for "adults" (people who can vote, and drink legally) never mind for teenagers. Good for you, both of you.
