“Till death do you part.”
I said those words at the ripe old age of 20 and 6 days. I thought I knew what I was doing. That the world should be so happy for me that I’d found someone who said he’d put up with my nonsense forever.
But there’s so much I didn’t know. More than just not knowing how to cook, I didn’t know that I was heading down a lonely road; a road where half of the people I knew were angry that I’d gotten married, and the other half just couldn’t relate to it.
But here’s what I’ve learned from being the only married one at 20.

Then you will be the only one of all your friends start having kids. Your kid will be old enough to babysit all your other friends’ babies when they finally start having them!
2. You will definitely have moments when you wish that you weren’t married.
Whether it’s a cute guy flirting with you at the coffee shop (because normal 24 year olds get hit on, but you’re oblivious that it was even flirting until your friend tells you) or the fact that all of your friends are still able to go out and party on Friday night, you’ll wish that you weren’t tied down.
It’s fleeting, but those moments of true envy for the life that a “normal” twenty-something has will come along every once in a while and you need to be prepared for them.

3. Marriage is hard work.
Like, really hard work. You have to really want to make it work. You have to wake up each day and say “Oh my gosh, your feet stink but I CHOOSE to love you today anyway.” If you take away the option to get a divorce, come hell or high water, you need to make it work.
