I just finished my first year of dschool and have been married for 1 year and 9 months. I would say about 20-33% (EASY) of the individuals in my class are married. About 10% of the dental wives in the class are pregnant, including mine. I am 24 and extremely happy to be married. As far as grades go, it all depends on you and your relationship with your spouse. I achieved a GPA a little over 3.5. Luckily, my wife completely understands that I am a doctor in training and is comfortable with me having my nose in a book the majority of the time. It is important to understand that one can have a life outside of dental school. With every decision comes sacrifice. Being married, I need to make sure that I am taking time away from studying to spend with my wife. This works out good however b/c without those breaks and the relationship I have with my wife I think I would go nuts. Hope this sheds some positive light on being in a committed relationship while being a professional dental student.
