We were High School Sweethearts too!! Met in the youth group at church. He's 2 years older than I.
I think most of our arguments were probably money and kids. He served 20 years in the Navy and we went through 6 6 month deployments and many many months of training where he was gone for 1 - 4 months and I was here raising the kids on my own, a lot! I made it a priority to always follow him when he was transferred and tried to go to some of the training detachments and such so we could sort of limit the time apart. We watched most of our fellow military members divorce. He is a sweetheart and I love him dearly.

I am loving these stories!! We should discuss marriage more often! There's a lot of wisdom out there! :-D Keep talking!
How about this: what advice would you give to a newly married couple? Oh--I'm going to start a new post for that one... too important to bury.
