Why high school sweethearts have the BEST marriages – Teenage romance has the power to fuel adult love affairs that withstand the test of time. I met my husband a few months after my sixteenth birthday. I was working at a sandwich shop and he was there to get lunch (sorry to disappoint, Nicholas Sparks). Ours was an instant connection, and a few months after our first “hello,” we became a constant in each other’s lives.

My husband was there when, in eleventh grade, I used to cut the legs of my jeans so they would hang over my shoes. He was also there when I thought thick silver glitter, applied with hairspray and my finger, was a perfectly acceptable eye shadow. In return, I was there when he wore sleeveless button-up shirts with frayed armholes and those really cute leopard-print men’s bikini briefs.
In short, we’ve seen it all. Now, nearly twenty years after our first kiss and fast approaching our eighteenth wedding anniversary, we’ve grown in ways I couldn’t have imagined as a doe-eyed teenager. Our relationship isn’t perfect, but it’s filled with laughter, history, and a commitment that only couples who fell in love in adolescence can understand.
Here’s why high school sweethearts grow up to be the best couples ever.
1. We know what every facial expression means.
Sometimes, we know each other’s facial expressions more than we know our own. It was my husband who informed me that when I’m upset, I chew the front-left side of my lower lip. I’m the one that cued him into the fact that his nostrils flare whenever he fibs.
More than this, we’re able to communicate with each other with a mere look. Whether it’s “Get me the f*ck out of here” or “If this lady doesn’t shut up I’m going to say something we’ll both regret,” it doesn’t take words to convey our inner thoughts to one another.
