Shack-Up Relationships Still Cost Emotionally, Financially

That's amazing to me. I was in my freshman year at college at 17, and I can't imagine anything I would have been less interested in then than getting married. :)

Very true. Glad it's working for you. The man I chose at 30 was light years away from the one I would have chosen at 18 and divorced by 22. :)

I got my first serious marriage proposal at 18. But not my last. :p

I had my first proposal at 16, and subsequently dumped the boy for proposing. I haven't had another since, although I haven't really been looking for one.
