For all the married couples out there, we all know that "starting out" on that long road of life together can be very difficult. If you find that "special someone," through, the long winding road is worth it.

The first year seems pretty easy, but as days keep on going it gets more difficult. When you first get married there aren't that many bills to pay, but over time, they build and build and never go away.

My wife and I were married July 15, 2002. Things were great. After a while, though, it seemed the stress was starting to get to us. The more we worked, the more bills we got.

Now, my wife is wanting to go to school to make something of herself. She is only 19. We married young feeling like we could conquer anything together. Only problems is that college is hard for some to afford.

Not only that, but when you live from paycheck to paycheck it seems impossible to ever get your goal of owning your own house. Especially when you have many loans that take mostly all your money each month.

I feel like I won't be able to give my wife the life she deserves. That is where GOD, Church, and many friends and family come in. I know that with prayer and prayers from others anything is possible. Contributions from caring people are also excepted. If you feeled compelled to and know how if feels to be in the situation we are in now, where the glass doesn't always look half full, do what you feel you need to.

Contributions that will go towards attending college or paying off dept would be greatly appreciated.
