I got married at 37. I know it was a blessing to wait, I am so happily in love. Most everyone has had the terrible experience of being divorced (raising children as a single parent, the heartache, the adjustment, the fighting, the lawyers) I, on the other hand, have so many good experiences from my life. I was able to learn a lot about myself through dating so long, I also learned a lot about other people. I was able to make myself a priority, having no one else to be accountable to. I had time to do everything I've always wanted - dance lessons, groups, clubs, travel, work as many hours as I wanted - all with no consequences. I am so very lucky to have had the chance to do all of this BEFORE marriage. I definitely think that people who marry young don't give themselves a chance to 'live' a single life, making married life more difficult. My husband and I appreciate each other more, and we've been through so much 'game playing' that we don't have to deal with problem after problem in our marriage. I know that a love like ours has never existed, and I couldn't be happier.

I was married a year past September the 17th i have just celebrated my first wedding anniversary and i was 35 when i got married. I can always remember as a child saying to my mum that i was never going to get married but i suppose things do change. I have been with my husband 8yrs now and i can say that he is, my sole mate as well as my lover, don't get me wrong i haven't had an easy time when it comes to men after 3 broken engagements i really thought that i would never see the day that i would marry. But here i am now writing this answer to you, so don't think that you will never do it everybody has there time or day i'm just thankfull that i met someone so nice and i had mine even though i was 35...

I met my husband-to-be at the age of 35 - we were married 13 months later. The year after that we had a little boy and the following year had a little girl! The last 5 years have been somewhat hectic (!) but I've loved every minute of it. I had almost resigned myself to never finding 'Mr Right' and was enjoying a single life, with a good job and my own house, then BAM! there he was - the love of my life and the father of my two beautiful children - what more can I ask for.

Age doesn't matter... unless your'e cheese. Lots of people don't get married until after 35, it's very common. I would think the marriage would be more likely to last because at 35 you are more mature than at 20-25 and you know what you want.

no, i'm 25 and been married for a year. but, there's nothing wrong with getting married after 35. you don't ever have to get married if you don't want to, or you can wait as long as you like. what would be wrong is if you married someone you didn't love just to get married because you're over 35 and are worried your time is running out. it's not. my grandpa got, well, remarried when he was, like, 65. it's all up to you. it's your life.

My wife and I were both over 35 when we got married (first and only for both of us). We have been married for over two years now.
The country club where we had our reception had a nice tradition. Every spring they hosted a mock reception for couples getting married the upcoming summer. Couples were invited to dinner to sample the food and wine, see how the room will be decorated and ask questions of the staff. My wife felt awkward, she was sure the place would be full of twenty-somethings and us. To our surprise, we were seated at a table of couples all in there thirties and forties. After we got to talking, it turns out we were the only couple getting married for the first time.

Well my Fiance is going to be 36 when we get married next year. He had given up on ever finding someone before he met me. We have been together over five years now and we know the other is "the one".
Sometimes it just works out that way. We plan to live happily ever after
