Even though many people did not support my marriage, I have never had any regrets. I met my husband when I was just 16 years old, and he was 23. From the beginning, our connection was strong and genuine. When I turned 18, he proposed to me. However, my father asked us to wait until I was at least 20 before getting married, believing it would be a wiser decision. We respected his wish and waited two more years before finally getting married.
Not everyone was happy about our decision. My husband’s father did not approve of the marriage, and many of my friends warned me that I was giving up my youth and that I would regret marrying so young. They believed I was making a mistake. But time proved them wrong.
From the very first day of our marriage, I felt deeply loved, supported, and valued. I loved my husband just as deeply in return. Over the years, we built a beautiful life together. We now have three wonderful children, several dogs, and a home filled with love, laughter, and companionship.
I graduated one year after our wedding, and with the help of scholarships, both my husband and I went on to earn our Master’s degrees at the University of Texas at Austin. Later, I earned another Master’s degree and built a successful career for myself. Even while working and studying, I always made sure to prioritize my family. I spent my afternoons with my children and my evenings with my husband, because family time mattered most to me.
My husband enjoys simple joys—going out to eat, watching movies, and spending quality time together. Those moments, small as they may seem, are what strengthened our bond over the years.
For me, marriage has been the best decision of my life. After 20 beautiful and fulfilling years together, my only wish is to share 20 more years—and beyond—with the man I love.
