Young Marriage

[Jaimecbr900]

What a lot of young people, and some old for that matter, don't realize is that it takes a lot more than just feelings to make a marriage work. There are plenty of divorced couples that still care for each other but are still divorced. So, feelings is not the only ingredient to make a succesful marriage.

Honest communication goes a long way to letting that happen.

Being responsible financially also helps.

Being mature also has to be there.

Getting married is easy. Staying married is the hard part. Kinda like running your own business. Any yinyang can pay the little bit of money it takes to register a name with the State and suddenly become a "business". The real measure of success is not merely opening a shop.....it's keeping one open for a long time. Same with a marriage. People think, much like with children, that getting married is suddenly going to transform them from child to adult. WRONG!!!! I know plenty of adults that have never been married. It's not a right of passage. If people go into it with the wrong ideas, they'll only get the same in return. Trash in= Trash out.

Ive been married for about a year and a half now, and it been great i love my wife we have a great relationship. With that said, sometimes we argue and have are disagremints but they never last long. I was 20 she was 19 when we got married we had been dated for about 3 and a half years. We knew it was going to be hard nothing in life is easy, just make sure you talk things though before you start using the D word things just go down hill from there.

Some kids to day are getting married for all the wrong reasons the main one being that they got there girlfriends pregnant. I think and this my kids need slow down they what to grow up to fast. Kids are starting to have sex younger and younger. I know a girl that had sex when she was 13 and when i heard that it just made me sick. When i asked her why she told me "well everyone does it and he said he liked me". Kids are getting to where they think its ok to have sex and its not.
