Wife an I met and got married when I was 25 and she was 19. We had some life experience and knew what we wanted. 15 years later, it's still amazing, we're still best friends and inseparable. When I met her I got this weird feeling, like I met someone I had somehow known all my life. It felt like I met my wife in a past life, and was immediately like "oh there you are!" When I met her in this one.

Similarly, my wife and I married at ages 23 and 22, respectively, just over twenty years ago. Altogether, we’ll have been by each other’s side for 24 years this Friday (a date I consider more important than our elopement anniversary) and I can’t imagine anyone else by my side on this stupid, cruel journey around the sun.

That's what I dream of every night

I have a similar story, only we were 35.

I maintain that I was married to her in a past life. From our first date we clicked immediately. It felt like I was back into a groove with someone I've known forever. She came over to stay at my place for the weekend after like our 4th date, she never left. We've been living together since like 3 weeks after meeting, and we have never regretted it. We have kids and love each other and our life immensely.
