Re: Spinoff: Age and getting married
I was 28. It was the right time for us, that's all. I'm fine with how old I was when I got married.

Re: Spinoff: Age and getting married
Posted by Goldi0218
Its not like I had a choice. Nobody asked me until I was 35. COINCIDENTALLY, I was ready. I could have brow-beaten an ex boyfriend to propose but I'd probably be a divorced single mom right now and looking back, Im glad we split up. Most of the men I dated in my 20s were truly not in any position to get married - not in terms of finance, but in terms of maturity. Not all men are this way, just the gems I dated.
DH and I did not have a long courtship - 13 months. I think as people get older, the courtships are shorter. My parents dated for 6 weeks and had a 49 year marriage. Granted they dated in 1956, but back then, a single woman at 25 had the same odds of marrying as I did in 2006 at 35. My sister dated her DH for 6 months (she was 33) and she is married for 17 years.
Having done more dating and siphoning out the "bad eggs" I felt that I knew what I wanted a relationship and more importantly, what I DIDN'T want.
I'm not even going to fashion my own response. I could have written this word for word (minus the siblings part). DH and I dated for 13 months when we got engaged and were married 9 months later

Re: Spinoff: Age and getting married
I got married at 29, two months shy of being 30.
While I have no regrets, I sometimes wish I got married a year or two earlier, so I could have had my kids a little younger. In the scheme of things, 2 or 3 years might not have made a huge difference, but I often think about it, so it must mean something to me.

Re: Spinoff: Age and getting married
I was 26 when I got married. I do wish I got married by 24-25 so I could have more time in having a baby before I am 30.

Re: Spinoff: Age and getting married
We were 26 when we got married. I think it was the perfect age for us since we were already together 7 yrs, went through college and got settled with jobs.

Re: Spinoff: Age and getting married
I got married when I was 26 and DH was 29. While it was the perfect time and age for us to get married, I had always envisioned myself getting married closer to 30.

Re: Spinoff: Age and getting married
27 1/2 - it's fine, although I would've been happy to be married a couple of years earlier. But that probably would've been rushing things...
