When I was 18 I started dating my boyfriend and I am now almost 25. I must say that the difference between age 18 and 25 is massive. I can see how you feel about wanting to experience life because you did get married fairly young.
I think the most important thing in making a relationship last is not forgetting who you are. Even though I have been in my relationship a long time, I am still very happy. My boyfriend has never told me that I can't follow my dreams, or that I can't have friends. I fully intend to marry him eventually and I still plan on being who I am and not becoming "the wife." Most people who get married just become the other person's half, which is okay in a way because marriage obviously does involve some sacrifice, but they completley forget who they are. This can lead you to become very unhappy.
Hope everything works out for the best.
