Being married to your high school sweetheart isn’t romantic or endearing… it’s actually kind of sad.

I’m probably alone here but I just can’t bring myself to think couples who have been together since high school are sweet or inspirational. Getting married young limits your experience as an individual to exposure of different perspectives in relationships. You never were given the chance to develop your own identity that could lead to potential challenges and personal growth and self discovery by staying inside of the only “box” you’ve known your likely going to miss out on opportunities for personal and professional growth that come from exploring different paths.
