You may be witnessing that rare happenstance: young sweethearts who found each other early.

If not, it'll either implode, fade, stagger to an ending or otherwise wink out, as many other teen-age attachments/interests do.

Your opinion that they're too young to commit may not be correct...for them. I am heartened to see faith and fixed attention in a teen. As a former high school teacher, I know how rare that can be.

Simple answer: be there for her no matter what, and beware foisting your judgment/opinion on her too much. She's learning about love, life, and promises to keep.
