I married too young at 21, but in June we will have been married 10 years. I would never advise to anyone getting married that young. I honestly did not know what I was getting into and I was not ready for the responsibility and the work it would take. Over the years we have grown a lot, learned a lot, and are generally different people than we were when we first married. It has been a conscious choice to stay married and work hard at maintaining a good relationship. We had a few years that were very rough, I made terrible mistakes, and both of us nearly jumped ship at different times. We worked through our issues and things are awesome now. Marriage is an exercise in teamwork and understanding. I often tell her that "I am happy when she is happy". I am also happy when I am happy, but I generally try to keep a smile on her face, and that makes my life easy.
