How can a young couple keep a marriage going strong?


(im 17, hes 19,baby on the way)Marriage advice!?

I also started dating my now husband when I was 17. He was 22 at the time. And we've been together ever since (8 yrs and have two children). Marriage can be hard and is a lot of work but it's definitely possible to have a happy, healthy, strong marriage if you both work at it and try. I think that communication is an very important key to having a good marriage so try your best not to lose that with your husband. Also honesty and respect play big roles too. There are lots of things that go into making a good marriage and it's kinda hard to put it all into a list lol! Plus, somethings you are just going to have to find out and experience on your own. Congrats on the baby and I wish you two the best of luck!!
Always talk about things, always be respectful of each others feelings, take time to give each other a break from time to time, don't forget baby sitters because they are life savers once every couple or few weeks.
It is not unrealistic to believe that you can keep your marriage strong...but the odds are against you....People who marry very young have a higher divorce rate.
You want marriage advice when you could not take your own parents advice about not having sex to begin with.
Being honest about your feelings even when you don't want to, being able to objectively listen to your partners advice without forming what you will say back in your mind, tact, knowing that nothing is ever 50/50 - sometimes it will be 10/90, having time for yourself, having time for each other.
if you have problem, talk to each other about it. when you speak to each other, be respectful of the others' opinion. when you have an arguement, don't yell. always show that you respect, and love each other. don't ever use the word divorce in an arguement.
Birth control would have been a good start, but you can expect it not to last, you haven't even lived yet!! wait until he turns 21 and can hit the bars. my advice is to stash some $$ back for when the storm hits. unfortunately it is inevitable!
Why was a minor allowed to have sexual relationship with an adult to begin with? If I were your parents your ';husband'; would be in jail right now. I don't see this marriage lasting much longer anyway...
Be honest with each other, and work to bring out the best from the other.





Be attached but separate - don't let your identity get wrapped up in his, nor his in yours.





Have many interests together, but have lives of your own, too.





Always, always, always work through what's bothering you; do NOT just ';whatEVER'; it away. If it bothers you, talk about it.





Set long and short term goals, and work to accomplish them together.





Remember that you can't read his mind, nor he yours.





Learn to accept him just as he is - you can't change anyone else, only yourself.





Well, those are a few, anyway.
