Depending on where you’re at this can be more or less common - college being a key exception. My wife and I met first day of college, started dating at 18. Neither of us expected the relationship to last particularly long but we fell in love and it stayed that way for the duration of school. Neither of us wanted to end a relationship that clearly worked well despite having never experienced any other relationship before. The interesting part to me is that there were several other couples on the same floor of our dorm with the exact same situation, and more than a decade on they like us are still together.
Same here, but we met in October instead of our first day. I’ve been happily married for 25 years to the guy I was dating at 19. A lot of other couples from our dorm are also still married.
