I'm going to a wedding this month. DD's best friend is marrying her HS sweetheart from the USCGA. He was worth the wait. A GREAT guy who graduated 1st in his class this year!
My wife just saw on Facebook that our friends who have a West Point grad popped the question. He is marrying his HS sweetheart too.
Both went to my kids high school. As I said, GREAT people. My DS is dating the same girl too. They have been dating for several years and they have every intention of making it. I hope they do because I think she is great. But they were mature enough to realize that they had make career decisions that was not focused on each other. If one is a follower, that IMHO will spell future disaster.

If she is a keeper, then make it work. re: tips. I understand Facebook has a group that helps helps like-minded people understand common challenges. I know my son's girlfriend is active and it's helped them out a lot. I can find out about that if you like. The other advice is have her visit on I-Day. It puts things into perspective. Also, one important word of advice.

Because of the ease communication, Facebook and texting has raised the 2% club to the 5% club. Just a guess.....
