Ever since I got engaged just after I turned 20, people have been asking me why I got married so young. I would be at work when people would see the ring on my finger and ask things like, “are you sure you want to get married so young?” I would think in my head, “You know what, you’re right. I changed my mind now that you said that!”I know getting married is not for everyone, but I think it’s the best thing I have ever done. I don’t want this to seem like a love letter to my husband, but hear me out and you’ll get the point.If I’ve ever believed in guardian angels on earth, my husband would definately be mine. I have had my fair share of heartaches and it got to the point where I didn’t feel like I could ever find someone who really cared for me. But I did!At the time I worked at Blockbuster Video. He was a regular and every time he came in I thought that he was a great guy. He was the kind of guy you want to be friends with just because  he was so nice. So anyways, as we got to know each other, we started hanging out outside of work. Now we were both coming out of serious and complicated relationships (I’ll get to them later) so it was kind of awkward for both of us. But when you know you’re in love with someone, you just know. And that’s what happened…seriously. We both just knew. Soon after we were engaged, then a year later married.Even though I may be young, it didn’t make sense to let someone so great and amazing get away. Don’t get me wrong, I was very cautious. It took me forever to trust him with even the smallest things, but that’s what was so great about being in love. You just do it. You just trust them and it works out. How did I know that he was the one? How did I know I wasn’t going to get “chopped and screwed” again? I didn’t. But I trusted God. Now, I know you’re probably thinking, “Ok, this girl is going to be divorced in no time…” But that’s how we make this thing work. That’s how I can honestly say that I am in the best marriage and having the best time of my life. I’ll tell you the secret if you promise not to laugh…we play the same game!What does that mean? We have the same goals, we are open and honest, and we don’t see any other options other than to work it out. It’s a fabulous plan and it works. I used to be the type of person to run away from problems. Whenever we had a fight I would walk away and try to forget about it. I have found someone who really is my better half. I was forced to work things out. I am so thankful.If you are young and are thinking about getting married, please don’t give in to the naysayers. Do what you feel in your heart is right.
