I am married to a man who is 13 years my senior. We married when I was 30 and have been together for 29 years, married for 24. I knew him as a friend for several years before we started dating of I guess that I have known him for24 years.
A 40 year old man marrying a 16 year old girl is not the same as two adults marrying.

I have a question for those of you who married at 16 to an older man. Did you all sneak around for a couple of years hiding the relationship or did your husband approach your parents like a man and ask for your hand in marriage?

There is no way that you can compare the life of a teenager 50 or 60 years ago with a teenager’s life today. Look at what kids are exposed to these days. Years ago it was normal for a boy to carry a pocket knife and no big deal if he had it at school. Now kids carry knives and guns to school and slaughter their teachers and peers.

Those of you who don’t see anything wrong with the marriage have a warped sense of values and morals. If the man was a gentleman and his intentions were sincere, he would waited until she was of legal age (it was only 2 years) and then they could have dated publically instead of sneaking around.

I have friends who were high school sweethearts and married after graduating from high school and they are still married. I just don’t understand the pressure and rushing the girl to marry him.

Want to bet that she is pregnant and he fears for himself?

For the girl, I hope that he doesn’t turn into a Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

“Although anguished, her weary parents gave in…. The Hagers realize what they’ve lost.”

Anguished? Weary? Did you try saying “no”? Did you tell the school our kids don’t need teachers with an taste for 14-year-olds? Did you speak to the police or DA about this gent?

Sorry, folks, but you didn’t lose it; you gave it away.

WHY IS IT OK FOR A GROWN MAN TO SLEEP WITH HIS STUDENT AND MARRY HER. BUT IT IS NOT OK FOR GAYS TO GET MARRIED? these religious ppl only want to keep women and children submissive while the horny men and priest have sex with whoever they want! if these adults have relationships with adults they are less likely have the control to mold this person into what they want, but if you start sleep with a woman when she is a child you are more likely to have control over here, this guy now plays the role of daddy/husband because she is still a children. the fbi needs to bust into that house and arrest this man! and get this girl some help, they need to move this girl far far away!

honestly the people that think this relationship maybe ok are honestly sick, someone even blamed the women’s rights movement.? what the hell is wrong with people. you tell me people, what do you think would happen if there no were age limit, what do you think would happen to america if we told men who are actively pursuing young girls that they no longer have to dream that they can have that middle schooler that they want, no problem, and they can even seal the deal at a church, you know that it’s already like that in iran and these men have no problem marrying 7 and 8 yr olds. this is sick, you people need to realize how precious your children are and how many people are there would take away a child’s innocence at any age. this is disgusting

This man has had interest in this girl since she was 14, Sorry but when you are 14 that makes you a child.. so that would make him a childmolester!!! I hope one day if they stay together that the same thing happends to them with any children they may have then maybe they will understand why this is a problem.
