Do people ever marry their first love?

box of rain

Yes they do...

...and sometimes it works out... especially if you were born in the early 20th century...

Yes. My wife was my first true love. I hung out with some girls mostly in a group setting, but my wife was the first I ever dated. Now married 34 years and she is still the best thing that ever happened to me.

Yes! My parents were each other's first love. They met in 1954 and married three years later. They overcame many obstacles to be with each other. They constantly spoke of how they met and how much they loved each other. They had 5 children to prove it. They were married for 49 years til death did they part. My father passed and a year later my mother followed. Yes, people do marry their first love, and yes it does last.

Well, The first guy I wanted to marry is still my best friend.
We were also first loves, I moved away and came back in to his life 23 years later.. Sad, but true we did not marry

Ms Pollyanna

I did and we have been married for 27 years, he is the only man i gave myself and my heart to.

Pastor Loyd

1 John 4:8 ...God is love.

Love is unconditional, not a feeling or emotion, because those can change. TRUE love doesn't change.

I thought I'd loved many women. I lost my virginity to the first, but didn't marry her. In fact, it wasn't until my third fiance, that I finally married. The relationship lasted nearly 14 years.

I've been married to my soul mate for seven years and can tell you, she's the first I ever TRULY love. The others were lust, attraction, like and/or convenience.

Love entails putting another's needs above your own, so it's selfless. You love them whether you feel like it or not, and whether you think they deserve it or not. THAT'S love!

I didn't. I always wished I had. He asked to marry me a few times, but something always made me say I wanted to wait. Looking back, I think I''ll always have a place in my heart for him, but he wasn't the one for me. He was my first love and we were together for 11 years.

I really did not date much before my husband, a few guys casually- but nothing near being in love. I decided that I was too busy to bother with boys and they were not worth the bother. Then I met my husband, we became great friends and fell in love with each other. He had dated also but nothing serious. We are each others first loves, and we are going on 11 years of marriage. It does happen- and it has outlasted a lot of marriages already. We are happy, we are each others best friend, and we are still very much in love.

TRUTH HURTS OOO K

The problem is that you typically meet your first true love when you are already married!!!

BMWSGOD

Yes they do. It doesn't allways work out.

bouiver

Well, I guess I am different here, my first love and I were very young and he was experienced already so he wanted to settle down, I had just graduated from high school, moved to a big city and wanted to experience life 101, he had already been there and done that, and I had not.

So, I did love him, and I wanted to be with him, but I was not ready to give up my whole life for him yet.....So after many arguments, he left to California and I stayed in Michigan, and we went our seperate ways.

I am glad I had the years to experience my life and to go through life 101 experiences, and to grow up a lot!!!!

A few years later, I was ready to settle down, sick of all the B.S. that went along with all of the relationship stuff, and wanted to settle down, and get married and have a family, so I met and married my wonderful husband of 16 years!!!!!

I am glad I stood my ground and waited until I was ready and did not let anyone else influence my life.

I am more happier than I ever could have been, I have the best of both worlds, a wonderful husband and a beautiful 10 year old daughter, soon to be 11 in July!!!!!

There are many people who get to be lucky and marry their first true love...then there are some who are not so fortunate. When you do get to marry your true love, it's the best feeling in the world. You feel like you've accomplished the most difficult battle in life and there's nothing you can't defeat.

It's hard to tell what true love is...until you can compare it to something you THOUGHT was love. That happened to me. I thought I was in love...really in love. I thought this guy was going to be my one and only. Turned out I was madly in love with the idea rather than the person and I ended up realizing that. Now I am getting the chance to marry my one true love.

Of course it lasts...as long as both people are willing to give it all they got and put in the effort it takes to make a marriage/relationship work. It's never easy living with someone else because you now have to adapt to their ways and get used to them being around you more than they used to. It's work. You just have to be patient and brace yourself. Life is good when you're living it with someone who loves you just as much if not more than you love them.

Me and my husband were each others first real love. Sure we dated some b4 but this seemed more real. We were the "they'll never make it" couple. too young, naive, carefree etc etc 6 years latter we are more in love than we were when we first got together. Sure there are hard times but that's life. All in all Ive never regretted a minute we've been married.

My first love was chocolate cake!! MMMmmm, chocolate, I will, I will marry you!

I married my first real love. I met him when I was 14 years old. I'll be 30 next month and we've been "together" for 11 years now, married for nearly six of those years. He's still my best friend. Our wedding song was by John Lennon, "Grow Old Along With Me"... and we intend to do just that.
I think it happens for those who take marriage seriously (It's not a 30-day Free trial phase). It's really not for the faint of heart either. Spending your life with one person can be amazing. But, being married has its difficult moments, too. Everything isn't hunky dory all of the time. To be married means that you love your partner unconditionally and support one another. Don't be selfish. Be honest and open and understand that as you grow old with one another, your love will continue to grow along with you, if you both give it your best shot and believe in eachother... for better or worse.

My parents met when they were only 12 and 13, and they have been married over 40 years now. They broke -up a couple of times along the way, but in the end they married each other. So yes, it does happen.

God bless!

Yes

x0narcissa

I met my fiance when I was 10 years old. He was 11.
We became best friends and were both secretly in love with each other and didn't say anything.
Now I'm 20 and he's 21 and we're engaged.
=)

Some people don't last, but I think if you're willing to TRY.. it WILL work.

Dog Rescuer

YUP almost 40 years ago...

He's a treasure.... 8-)

Yes my husband and i were each others first love...When we met i was 21 and he was 25 and have been happily married 17 yrs...He was 26 and i was 22 when we got married...He was my first boyfriend and i was his first girlfriend...During my teenage yrs i had a MAJOR crush on a guy that still lives in my hometown but it was just puppy love.

wd21

that's rare these days, and if they do, more than likely, it does not work. when it does happen though and works out, it's a very beautiful thing.

salut

Wow, judging by the answers, i'm so happy for the many who have married their first loves. I didn't.

Enlightened Observer

Marrying your first love can be the best thing you ever do. It happens a lot and the marriage can last. Like you say, it does not mean your first relationship.

It works out the best when you you have dated others and you finally find the one for you. Or If you broke up for a while, dated others and got back together later. In both of these scenerios, you have comparisons and know that what you have is the real thing. You don't have to second guess whether you acted too quickly, if they were really the one for you or what any other second thoughts.

Knowing that what you have is really the best for you and definitely what you want is important. Some people do not need to date others to know this. You know yourself better than anyone.

I've known three couples that have and well they have and two have work out. The third would have had their families stayed out of their lives a little.
