Dear Katelyn. I was married when I was 20 years old. My husband was 22. It was 1976. In those days young people married at a young age. We knew each other for four years then. It was love at first site. This year we have been married for 40 years. . We have two daughters , son in law and three granddaughters and one grandson. On daughter has been divorced this year.
In our marriage we had a lot of ups and downs as in every marriage. The normal things. But we mannaged by still loving each other and respect the partner for who he/she is. We still talk a lot about things and we try to help each other when there are difficulties. And we still love each other and talk about our feelings. If there are difficulties in a marriage, keep talking with each other about it. Keep hoping that things get better. Love your site Katelyn. You are a very lovely nice woman.

Great list! There are so many benefits to getting married that I never fully appreciated when I was younger. I still have a ways to go before I get to experience the benefits of marriage. But I look forward to it. 🙂

Thank you for this article! #2 made me remember a time when I was thanking Phillip for all he did to pull his weight with the kids, the house, our life and how I couldn’t do it without him. He said something along the lines of, “Being married is great because they help you out with all the problems you wouldn’t have in the first place without them!” I also was married at 21 and it’s been almost 13 years and we have 6 kids ages 1 month through 12 years old, and I would not have it any other way!

In reply to Chelsea @ Life With My Littles. Thanks!! I LOVE them too. So glad we didn't skimp on pictures. It's one thing I always always always tell people getting married not to go cheap on. It's really the best way to remember the big day! And yes, I didn't get married necessarily because of these benefits, but they certainly do help!

First of all, love your wedding pictures! Second of all, love this post! I totally agree! I didn’t get married young just because of those things, but they are great benefits!

Well, after a goose chase to find this talk, it looks like it’s only available in printed books. Found it in this one – http://amzn.to/1PsX9ao. Now to buy it or not…

It’s really interesting, isn’t it, the statistical link between marriage and economic security? I’ve read about it time and time again; and it just fascinates the pseudo-sociologist in me. If you get a chance, read Mary E Stovall’s presentation from the 1990 BYU Women’s Conference, “Did Grandmother Have a Happy Marriage? Myths and Realities of American Families.” It’s a terrific short history of marriage in America.
