Is it common for highschool sweethearts to marry?

It could work, as long as you two always communicate properly to each other your feelings and needs. If there is any argument big and small, resolve it there and then and move on.

There are a lot of people who marry their high school sweethearts. There are those who divorce after they do. There are also a lot of people who don’t marry them too. So you can’t tell the fate of your relationship, unless the both of your believe in it in the same way. But still, sometimes some things are out of our hands.

Now, I just have some concern about the losing your virginities to each other part. Down the line in your relationship somewhere, might come a time when one of you or the both of you will wonder what it would be like to have sex with someone else, or with other people. You might wonder if you’re missing out on anything. You might also wonder what it feels like to have relationships with other people and have a string of exes so you can say that you have at least had sex with more than one person. You might wonder if different girls/boys are differently skilled in bed, and it gets your curious. Because of this, a lot of couples break up/divorce.

I’m not saying that this is what will happen to your relationship, but I am highlighting this problem to you as a fact - it does happen, and it might or might not happen to you. Hence this is why you have to discuss these things with your boyfriend. However, make sure first that he is thinking in the same wavelength as you are - marriage in the future.

Sadly, high school romances usually fizzle out, or often end in divorce. (This from a show called Loveline, where Dr. Drew has been handling calls for 25 years.)

On the other side of the coin, I know of relationships that literally lasted ‘till death. But they seem to be in the minority.

What ever you decide, communication will be key. Also, practice birth control !!! If you get married because - or even just while - you are pregnant, and later on have a really rough spot in your marriage, that thought of … “We wouldn’t have gotten married IF …” is going to rear its ugly head.

Stay safe, SAFE SEX, and Good Luck!!

One of my friends shipped out for his second tour in Iraq in April. He married his highschool sweetheart two days before he was redeployed. It can happen, and sometimes it proves to be one of the strongest marriages. They argued and had their share of problems, but they still got hitched before he went back, knowing where he was going and what could happen.

Im not as sure on the common thing about people being high school sweethearts pulling it off. but Im sure that you have a great thing going and you guys are extremely lucky because you’ve found each other. I wish I had something like that and also be able to marry my high school sweetheart. Im not an expert or anything but im sure he’s your true first love and I hope for the best. for me too..

I’ve heard of people getting married. You know it doesnt matter about how common it is. this is your relationship you make it what you want it to be not what others experiences have been. I have a relationship almost exactly like yours and yes those fights and arguments actually get you closer with each other. it is possible as long as you keep eachother happy and stick by eachother. anything is possible if you put your mind to it
