I have been married 25 yrs - I was 19 and my hubby was 25 when we married. You have to work at marriage and allow each other to grow and learn together - its not always easy and peaches and cream but you build a life together and many memories along the way. You must learn to compromise - each giving a litlle along the way. Also, humor helps.. When you go through bad stuff - you go through it together - same with the good stuff.
