[GLGT] Couple first met when man was 21, and girl was 13.

“I’ve wanted to be a mum since I was 16. So getting married young would help me achieve that because I want to give my children my youth,” says the social media manager, who is married to Mr Joel Peh, a youth pastor at 3:16 Church, who is eight years older.

The couple met around 15 years ago, at a study group organised by their church for the community. Mr Peh, then 21, was helping out as a tutor and struck up a friendship with the then 13-year-old Ms Huang, though she clarifies that neither had romantic feelings for the other yet.

It was only after she turned 18 that they became an item. At the time, she was midway through her studies at Singapore Polytechnic, while he had just started work as a teacher after graduating from Nanyang Technological University with an engineering degree.

They bonded over their shared values, though the large age gap meant that his parents initially had concerns.

She, however, had no qualms.

“Even though he’s eight years older, it’s not like I don’t know him because we’ve had a long friendship. So we’ve seen each other at our worst selves, and I know he’s not a creep. Also, he’s young at heart because he works with youth in church, so we could connect.”

Encouraged by their friends not to wait too long after finding the right person, the couple got married in 2018 when Ms Huang was 22. They started a family soon after: son Jonathan was born in 2019, followed by daughters Jemmalyn in 2021, and Miyabeth in 2023. Home is a five-room HDB flat in Bedok, which they bought with their own savings.

We need more of these. For people to start family early. At 18yo haven't been polluted by the toxic feminism yet still got hope to start family and she did go on to have 3 children unlike those who comment that the rs is creepy probably bearing no fruits.
