From walking across the graduation stage to walking down the aisle.

Some people search their whole lives.

Others find their future spouse before they even reach adulthood.

But, finding a person to marry is only the start.

Staying married is a whole different ballgame!

To some, people who marry their high school sweethearts have it made.

To others, the idea may seem like a total nightmare.

Each story is different.

Perhaps you married your high school sweetheart quickly after graduation because of an unplanned pregnancy.

The whole thing felt rushed and forced, and you weren’t sure it was the right move.

You tried to stay together and make it work, but ultimately, it wasn’t a good fit.

You split up after a few years and both married other people.

You co-parent well, and that’s all that matters.

Maybe you finally married your high school sweetheart after years of an on-again-off-again romance.

Or, maybe you married your high school sweetheart when you were both in your early 20s.

You had a nasty divorce and don’t speak at all anymore.

You’re very happy to be on your own now.

Or, perhaps you married the person you started dating when you were only 15 years old.

There was never a doubt in your mind that you’d found your soulmate.
