When did you get married, How old where you? Do you want to get married?



Update: August 04, 2009.
I think unless you've actually been married then its difficult to make judgements about it. Some heart warming thoughts and stories.

My first marriage was back in 1964 when I was nineteen years old and greener than Kermit the Frog. That was back in the day when nobody lived together first. The marriage ended in four years amd one son later when it ws discovered that my husband was dating my also married girlfriend.

The second marriage came in 1986 when I was 41. That marriage ended in 13 years and one daughter later when it was discovered that my husband was dating a co-worker of his.

Do I want to go for three strikes? NO.

First time I was 26 and nope didn't want to get married, knew it wasn't going to work, too immature to figure out how to handle it.
The real time I was 32 and I very much wanted to get married

I was married at 21, really too young for me, B/C I made the wrong decision. But, I have my daughter out of that marriage, so thats the good thing.

I would like to get married again to a great guy.

I have been married 3 times. The first time was in 1987; second time in 1992; and I am currently married since 2008 (a little over 1 year.) I was 21 when I first got marrired; lasted about 5 years; no children. I was 27 the second time; lasted 15 years with 1 child. And I am 44 now and my wife is 25. I am very very happy now and deeply in love; never felt this way before; the first time was not really for love; the 2nd time I was in love at first, but it was a brief love that really should not have "ended" in marriage. This time I am deeply in love and will always be with my wife; we are very very happy.

Hope this info helps you; feel free to write again.

Married June of 1985, I was barely 18, just out of highschool. Married a guy I thought I knew. Dated him 2 years in highschool. We had three kids, and divorced in July of 2001.
Marry again? No. I think I have made one mistake, I don't want to make 2 mistakes.

I was 20 when I got married in 1991. Of course I wanted to get married, we had been together for 3 years & had a child together - it was what we were supposed to do.
We had our good & bad times, even had another baby but eventually we just outgrew each other. We split up in Feb. 1999.
The divorce was final in Aug. '02

Would I do it again? Yes.

I married at 17

once is enought I am not sure if I would have married at that

time if I was not concerned about my pregnacy.

I am not opposed to marrage ,if I was with a partner that had

my heart and felt he wanted to marry I might, the commitement

from me would be the same just formalized.

I got married in 1987. I was 22. My son was a honeymoon baby and was born before my 1st anniversary when I was 23. We had a long engagement. We knew it would last. Sadly it lasted as long as he lived...almost 16 years married, 18 together and I knew him for over 20. I would still be married to him if our "till death do us part" would have been much later in life....like when we were in our 70's or 80's and not when I was 37 and he 42.
:(

...and yes I want to get remarried again someday. When it is right and when I meet the one...again. Hopefully 'it' can happen more than once. At least I believe it can.

I was 28 and have been married for 25 years. I recommend waiting until one's late 20's-early 30's; get your career in order, get educated, and most importantly HAVE FUN before marriage!!!

I got married when I was 20. Having since divorced, I don't think I would go there again. While companionship can be nice, I just don't think it's worth it to "have the papers."

I've been married once; I was 27. We divorced 7 years later after he decided that it had been a mistake and he wasn't really "cut out" for marriage & family life.

I would love to get married again someday to a good man. But, I'm in no rush....I'll wait as long as it takes to find him.

At the age of 25 I married a man who was 10 yrs older than I...and always said I didn't want to get married. He swept me off my feet and we were extremely happy...unfortunately Cancer came into play and he was ripped from my life much sooner than he should have been. Now I'm raising our twins on my own...will I ever get married again?? Probably not...I should have listened to my gut instincts the first time!

I got married 16 Days ago :) I am 27, and we got married on his 29th birthday, I'll be 28 next week:)

We've been together 3 1/2 years, lived together 2 1/2 years, engaged for 1 year, and now married...

Life is what you make it...ALMOST nothing in life is predictable..so give everything you do you're very best, including a marriage...and never walk away unless you know from the bottom of your heart...you've given your VERY BEST :)


From someone deeply in love and I have been since the day we kissed :)

Haven't been married yet but I was engaged once. I called it off though because I knew we were both too young, and I didn't love him enough to marry him and be with him forever. I am glad now that I did not marry him because I am currently dating the best guy ever. I would marry him tomorrow if he would ask :)

I got married at 20 and that was way too young. I was infatuated and then later I was not in love anymore. You don't want the same thing at 20 that you want ten years later.

I am too much of a commitment phobe to get married. I came close once, and called it off shortly before the wedding.

Talk of marriage has always been what killed my relationships.

Yes, i know i have problems. :-)
