It worked for me. As a matter of fact 40 years this Thanksgiving weekend I started my first job and met my future husband there. I had been 14 for one week and he had been 17 for one week. We started dating in December and were married 3 1/2 years later. We had our first child when I was 18 and bought our first house when I was 20. We turned 54 and 57 last week and are still happily married.
How wonderful!
