My husband always telling me "He wished ,he had married me when he was in high school". I am still ,however left to wonder if this "infatuation" has any thing to do with my dad financial support since we got married.

Mindful, I doubt it. You seem like a terrific woman.

I married for love. So did my wife.

I know you did, but wasn't your wife confused during those days?

danimal and I were 21 when we married and 24 when we had our first child. We'll celebrate 10 years of marriage in December.

I've never felt short-changed by this decision. In fact, I feel lucky that I didn't have to waste a lot of time dating. Having a family has given us direction and kept us from floundering, which is what a lot of 20-somethings call "finding themselves."

In a serious note ..Love comes first ,no doubt about it . but when you are not planning to have a love marriage ,you will have to come to your next priorities. Money ,in my list ,do not sit at the bottom.
Having a love marriage is a dream for everyone, including me.I am not just a big fan of the "love marriage guarantees a life long love "theory . Having had a high standard for finding love ,i was quite reluctant to even start cruising .Instead i decided to stick to some pivotal criteria which could guarantee every marriage ,in hope ,those bring me love . In a retrospective facet ..i would marry my husband again ,even it is not called a "love marriage".

Judging from your sperm-penetrating-the-egg avatar, I would say your marriage has a lot of love.
