It depends on how much you love each other, how well you communicate and work together and your ability to grow up together

now days you cant tell. People are getting divorced as soon as they say I do. I believe that they have a good a chance as anyone.

That depends on how committed you two are. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, and my wife’s closest sister is also married to hers. (My sister-in-law married when she was 19 and her now-husband was 20; my wife and I got married when I was 22 and she was 23.) The thing you have to remember about marriage is that it is *not* easy, and it’s not supposed to be. Once you get past that honeymoon stage (which in our case, lasted several years), you’re going to hit some rocky times. The question is: are you each willing to put the other first? If not, you’re going to get divorced. Period. Don’t imagine that either of you will change and become a better person, once you’re married; it won’t happen. If he’s selfish now, he’s going to stay selfish and you’re going to get divorced. If you’re selfish now, you’re going to stay selfish and you’re going to get divorced. The only way around this is if the selfish party/parties has/have a major change of heart, and the only way I know to do that is through an abiding faith in Christ. (May other religions also offer this? Perhaps, but I don’t know about them.) ;-) Feel free to take this or leave it—I stand by the preceding counsel, either way—but there’s also one more step I’d recommend: if you want to learn how to make your marriage last *forever* (even beyond “till death do we part,” check out http://www.mormon.org/ . There’s even a 24/7 “Ask a Question” link, if you can’t find what you’re looking for. Best of luck, blessings, and a hopefully happy marriage! :-D

Not as good as if you wait for a few years to marry.

My husband and I were married 2 weeks after he turned 18. That was 15 years ago. We were great friends first and just knew we wanted to be in each others lives for the rest of our life. I don't regret it at all, but if my son told me at 17 that he was proposing I would probably flip out!!! You have to be committed!!

Just one question, and whether or not you want to answer it is your preference, but anyway, what is the rush to get married, like right now @ 18? I'm not asking to be rude, not one bit please don't take it in a mean manner at all. Ok, I just married my high school sweetheart, we have been together for 8 years and met our sophomore year, then the rest was history. I love him with everything in my body to no end, after 8 years of dating we decided to get married November 14 of this year (just last Friday as a matter of fact =) 2 kids and 8 years later, and we couldn't be happier. But through the years we have been through so many ups and downs and struggles having our first son when I was 16 and he was 17, and our second when I was 19 and he was 20. Today, we are totally different than we were then, we have changed, thankfully we grew together our paths never really ventured far from each other. Five years from now you might have completely different aspirations, different goals, and only God knows if they will be similar. I look back now and I am only 23, so it wasn't too long ago, I was such a different person than I am today. I view things quite differently, the way I saw the world and everyday life at 18 is far from my view now, I am more assertive, confident, and aware. My grandmother said something to me one day when things weren't so peachy and I don't think I will ever forget her words. She said, with years of wisdom "If it is love, true undying love, than it is just that undying love, it will not fade with time, it is unconditional. No piece of paper could make it any more or less true, you will not love him more because you are married and the same for him". She told me to find who I was, to know the true me, to know what I bring to the table as an asset to our relationship, so I could be confident in my flaws and my strengths along with his. It's a balance, you have to be willing to be unselfish, which at times can be difficult. I am not one to harp nor is it my place as I am not perfect, I'll just say this in closing : Know who you are, be confident about yourself and show it! there is nothing more beautiful than a confident women who knows what she stands for and what she believes in, Love yourself in whole, for you can't love someone else if you haven't the love for yourself. Hold your head high and always and be true to your heart, look within when you are lost your heart doesn't lie. As for if I think it would last? Only the two of you could make that decision, as long as you are both willing to make it last you should be fine. May happiness and patients follow you both through the many years together.

So you've been together... a year and a half? That's really not that long.. It can work out, but the odds aren't great. People change a lot after high school.
