Kayla Runkel and her husband are high school sweethearts as well. Explaining their relationship, she said that, the feelings she felt for her partner when she was 17 may have dulled in excitement, but not in passion. "This past September, we celebrated ten years together as a couple and nearly five years of marriage. While most people have to secretly cyber stalk their old high school flames on Facebook or flip through old black and white yearbook pages, I simply have to look across the room."

"Sure, our conversations can be slow at times, having exhausted our list of unheard stories years ago. But that means we have reached a level of comfort in silence that with anyone else would seem awkward," she wrote on Her View From Home. "I love that I can spend a whole day with him without saying a word and still feel completely fulfilled by his presence alone."

"I have loved him through his baby-faced, acne-covered years, and he has loved me through childbirth and a few too many DIY hair dying disasters. We have been study partners, birthing partners, late night feeding partners, and everything in between."

And this really is what's so wonderful about their experience. Everything they have today, they built together. Again, these words shouldn't put other couples -- those, who met later in their lives -- beneath them. Every relationship is different and beautiful in its own way. It's how you feel about it that matters the most.
