My parents have been married for 52 years. While they have a loving relationship, I’m not following their example.

I first met my husband on spring break when I was 17. I fell hard and fast despite him living in another state, quickly declaring I wanted to marry him. It was easy to imagine marriage at such a young age since my parents were married when they were both 20.

When we finally said “I do,” I was 24. I’ll admit, I didn’t know a lot about marriage except for what I’d witnessed through my own parents’ relationship.
