I started a series of posts titled "On Marrying Young" to discuss the unique circumstances (both positive and negative) of young couples who marry earlier than their peers and the societal norm. Posts in this series, so far:

If you would like to write a guest post on any aspect of this topic (regardless of whether you are single, you married young, or you married later in life), I'd love to include your perspective. Email me at messywifeblessedlife@gmail.com.
I'm 55. My husband and I married at 17 & 19, for the usual reason that teenagers marry. We had 8 kids and got to raise 7. After nearly 38 years, would I say that it was easy? Well, let me put it this way. Do you remember Jesus saying "In heaven they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage." Some days that's a sad thought-and some days it's not.
