<p>My husband and I met his freshman year/my sophomore year in college, and we married after my first year of grad school and his senior year of college. He was 22 and I was 23.</p>
<p>We’ve been married a little less than two years now, so I can’t point to a long history as evidence that we’ll be together in the long run (although we celebrated our half-decade dating anniversary a few months ago :)). We are, however, very happy, and I wouldn’t have done anything differently.</p>
<p>Of course, we have very similar views on major life issues – careers, kids, money. We discussed these views extensively before we got engaged. We also had lived together for about two years at the time we got engaged, so marriage didn’t really change anything about our relationship other than my last name. I’m still in grad school, so we’re not planning to start having kids for several more years.</p>
<p>Marriage isn’t the best choice for every couple coming out of college. But it’s certainly possible to be ready for that step at age 22.</p>
