"It's not going to work."
I looked at my old youth pastor and wondered what gave him that confidence. We were talking about a college guy in the church who had recently started his first real relationship. Of course the guy was all into the relationship and was already planning on marrying the girl in the future. Our old youth pastor wasn't as convinced though because, "Everyone has their heart broken at least once. It takes the first relationship to realize what you like and don't. I know ______ is excited about the relationship now, but eventually it's going to break off and he's going to have his heart broken, but he'll come out the stronger because of it."
This got me thinking, what he said was true for at least my case. I was very into my first real relationship, but when it broke off, it helped me realize what I needed in a guy and what I didn't. With all my friend's its been the same.
But then again I've seen couples who haven't dated at all before their life partner and from all view points the relationship seems strong and healthy.
What are the chances of your first relationship lasting for a lifetime?

My aunt and uncle met when they were sixteen. They've been married over 40 years. It's rare, but I think it can happen.
