You can't say Coke is better if you've never had a Pepsi, right?
People who find love in high school and go on to marry and stay married to that person are very rare. I know two couples who were each other's firsts and they are both happily married 20 years later. I have also recently encountered a young lady on TheBlogFrog.com who has dated her boyfriend since high school and they're each other's first and look to get married. But, I also know countless others from high school who tried and failed miserably by their mid-20's. They realized that they made a grown up decision without being a grown up.
So, it can work, but are the odds stacked against it?
If a teen-ager isn't mature enough to vote or drink, how can they possibly say I want to spend the rest of my life with my first boyfriend/girlfriend without experiencing another?
Do they look at other couples and use them as a measuring stick?
Are they able to be honest with themselves and know that they are satisfied with their mate?
Are they able to attend different colleges and feel secure that the other one is not being tempted by something new?
