Can young love last?

I've been thinking can you really meet somone when you are like 14 and marry them years later, or is that only in books? I want to know your thoughts.

Well me and my fience have known each other senice we were 10 years old and startied dating when we were 14 and now we have a son together and plan on getting married after i finish college..
its been tough but i realy do think young love can last as long as both of the partners try and realy do love each in the relationship.. but there always a chance that it wont work out.. it all depends on the people in the relationship

My great-grandparents got married when they were in their teens/early 20's [not sure when], and they've been together for over 50 years.

Anything is possible.

Back in the day, people use to get married while they were teenagers and had kids. Getting a divorce wasn't a big thing either so usually the marriage lasted.

Things have changed and everyone is getting married at a later age.

"Can young love last? ...[C]an you meet someone when [you're] like 14 and marry them years later?"

I don't see why not. Though I do agree with Britt, it's "more of an exception than the rule". The same can be said for a person at any age whether they're young, middle or old age, I don't think it matters what age you are. Change (of a persons feelings, events, etc.) has no age limit.

I met and started dating my partner when we were both 16yrs old. I know, without a doubt, that I want to marry him and that we will get married one day, he feels the same way I do. He actually admitted to me first, before I had, that he'd wanted to marry me. However, I'm sure if you asked anyone who'd broken up, was separated or divorced if they thought they'd always be with their boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife they'd tell you they did. So what does that say?

"And for the people I've talked to, you courted one another and dated, no rushing, and did things the right way. Now people are so strayed from their morals and values that none of it matters anymore."

^ I thought about that on a number of occasions myself. I have at least 5 people I know who are my age or younger who are engaged already. In a way, part of me is jealous. I've been with my partner for over 4yrs, soon to be 5yrs, now and he's already proposed to me, he just didn't have a ring at the time. I've been waiting for quit a while now for him to surprise me with one and I expected to have been engaged by now. On the other hand, I ask myself, what do I have to be jealous about? He's already taken me window shopping, to get ideas, and we both know already that we're going to marry one another, when we're good and ready (I don't plan on getting married right away after we're engaged, I want to have fun with rolling 'fiance' off my lips first and see what kind of experiences await us, it could be a year, two years, three or longer before we get married). Also, we're both the type of people to take things slow or, as you say Britt, "[do] things the right way" and not to mention are more than satisfied with what we have already together now.

It is possible because my auntie met her husband at at the age of 15 and now they are happily married :)

It is possible but I wouldn't count on it! HAHA

Well I believe it can happen it all depends on the people and how your relationship is...Like my friends parents have been together since the 6th grade and they are married with three children and now in there 40s, my boyfriends parents have been together since 15 and they are married and had 3 kids and are in 40s, My boyfriend and I have been together since I was 14 and he was 17 and now have been together for 3 years and we are planning on getting married so it can last just depends on the people and the relationship.

I think that love can start at an early age and last. ive met my boyfriend at 15 and we had been best friends until 16. and that's when we started dating. we've been together ever since. it's hard but we work out everything. And even though we are young we plan to get married in our mid 20's.

I dont think that there is any specific age for falling in love...you cant control it. And it totally depends upon the love how long it lasts....
Love for everyone is different...and for me, I havent found it yet...

I met the guy I'm with now when I was 12. From about 13 onwards, we were friends, getting closer and closer over the years. I'm now 22. (Wow, I just realized it's been ten years, yikes!) Anyway, we always felt a strong connection to each other, and were really involved in each others lives, but it only turned consciously romantic when I was 20 and he was 21. That's when we finally openly admitted that we felt a different sort of friendship for each other. At first it was kind of weird, negotiating that new kind of relationship when we had been "just friends" for so long, but eventually it turned into the most natural thing in the world. I think one of the reasons it's worked is because we didn't force it at a younger age, we kind of let it evolve naturally. I always had a feeling about him, but we enjoyed being friends so much that, for a long time, it was enough. Now I feel like getting to kiss him all the time is just icing on the cake!

I'd love for him to be in my life for a long, long time. I feel he's probably "it" for me, but neither of us are in a rush to get married. We just want to enjoy each others company, really. Even if we don't marry, he's been something profound in my life.
