i think this is a case by case situation. i agree that waiting is the prudent and safer route but everyone is different. me:32she:29+3kids+9years=today
I got married at 22, she was 21. We've been married for just over a year. We certainly rushed things, but I can't complain. It has been a good year.
I was 22, she was 21. We were divorced less than 5 years later. We were WAY TOO YOUNG. I'm 30 now and getting married again soon. Looking back on it I seriously don't know wtf I was thinking getting married that young. I was an idiot.
There's a lot to be said for sowing your oats before you get married. More important for guys than women since women are preparing for marriage since the time they understand the concept.
The grass often looks greener on the other side and many studies have shown that married people have more sex than unmarried. And I'm saying that as a guy who is single. Sex is obviously very important but I think if you are getting married or staying single just because of sex that is probably the wrong reason.
no..i'm just kidding. i'm a lawyer because i suck at math. i'm the last person in the world entitled to dish out math smack.
I'm 25, she's 22 ... been dating for 2 years next month. The time is coming, but I think we both know that we're not quite ready (mainly financially) yet. She just graduated and has been looking for a job for a few months, and I'm just a year into my first "real world" job. We're expecting to have to pay for a large portion of the wedding/honeymoon, so unless we want to elope and go to Galveston for a weekend then we are waiting. Other than that we're both ready for the most part and there are no doubts that we are right for each other. My advice to guys that think they have to find some in college is... no, you don't. I was single for the majority of my 4 years, and as time went on I liked it more and more that way- mainly from seeing friends in relationships. If you absolutely meet the right person, great...but I think a lot of college age relationships are kind of forced because everyone thinks they have to be with someone and be ready to get married out of college. I met someone 6 months after graduating and moving back home, so it couldn't have worked out better. Even if I was single now, I'd still have no regrets about not trying harder to "find someone" in college.
I'm surprised to see so many here married young. I was expecting to see late 20s much more. I married at 23. 11th anniversary coming next month. Being too young was never an issue. I guess if you are mature, like I am, youth doesn't matter.
I married my high school sweetheart. We dated for 3 years, were engaged for 2 and got married when we were 21. We've now been happily married for 11.5 years.
Weren't you getting back with your ex and remarrying her or are you going to marry someone else? Not to sound nosy, I just remember how wild that was when you told us that you had divorced her but you started dating her like a year later.
I was 32 and close to 11 months, so almost 33 when I got married while my wife was 28 and 10 months. We have been married now for 3 and a half years and have added a son to go along with our daughter. It certainly has been the hardest thing I have ever done but I believe that when you marry someone and love someone, you do everything you can to make it work even when sometimes it doesn't seem possible.
