***Its just soo interesting for me. Were most of you like after your 20.s or before? I'm curious about it,. Im 19 btw.

--And i wonder..when people get married..do you still have the same feeling for each other as it used to be?

--Like you could've been crazy, (so in love) for eachother..not imagine your life without him/her...n has it stayed the same way til now.??
Or things change after marriage.

Do you feel as if you really wanna get away..but take sacrifice for your kids..just to keep the family together.?
Thank you soo much for your answers.

Answer 1

I was 33 when I got married and totally glad I waited. I did a lot as a single woman that I would not have been able to do if I had gotten married too soon. And I feel that my relationship is better because of it. I met my hubby back in High School. But we didn't date for all those years. I went to college... he went to the military. We grew up on our own terms and became better able to respect each other and treasure each other for who we are.

Answer 2

I became engaged a few months before 30th birthday; my wedding will be a couple of months after my 30th birthday. My fiance is 35. In our group of friends, most people are in their early to mid 30's when they get married - this is older than the national average by about 5 - 6 years.

This feels like the perfect time in my life to get married. We're both finished with graduate school and doing well in our careers, and we are financially well-off enough to not have to stress about money. And we have a house.

We've been together for 3 years, and since the engagement the feelings have been even sweeter and more intense. We're very happy together.

I think it's a good idea to wait until you've been stable and independent for a few years before getting married. You have more to offer to someone else if you're already a whole person on your own. Your life together will be much better if you don't have to worry too much about money and finishing your education. I also think that if you do get married young, you should put off having children until you have finished your education and been in your career for a few years.

Studies show that people who get married at age 25 or older have a *much* greater chance of staying together than younger couples. Of course, there are exceptions, but this rule tends to hold true.

Hope that helps! ;-)

Answer 3

engaged at 26, married at 27.

for me, it's been exactly the same as when we were dating except we live together and i have a new last name. it can be hard, living with someone day in and day out and we tend to get nitpicky with each other and even more frustrated because we know that one of us can't just leave and go home if they are mad...they are home!
i think its better to wait until you are older than 25 to get married (IMHO). sometimes, people change from when they were teenagers into their 20's and sometimes 30's. i liked that i waited until after i got my masters degree and was on my way in my career and so was my husband.
i dont think i would be happier single. no matter what, even if we fight, i never feel like it would be better if i were single or with someone else. the grass is always greener on the other side.
we dont have kids yet so i cant answer the last part. but i have heard that children who have two happy divorced parents are better of than having two miserable married parents.

Answer 4

I was 19. Things got really ugly with my now ex-husband so we divorced soon after the weddding. Im now 24 and engaged, will be getting married July of 2009. Im glad I learned a little from the first marriage but Im also glad I waited a little longer to find someone who I can spend the rest of my life with, thus waiting 2 years after being engaged to get married. Congratulations by the way. You'll be fine.

Answer 5

I am 19, engaged, and getting married at the end of next May/beginning of June. I will be 20 then (He will be 22). I have been with my fiance for over 4 1/2 years and have loved growing together.

Many people think this is too young to marry, and for a lot of people it is because they need to grow into who they are going to be and learn to be able to love another as they should.

It is also a widely accepted thing to go through your schooling and get established at a career before getting married. This, for many people, is also a good thing, because that is what is important to them.

As for me and my family and friends, we all think I am ready for marriage. I am able to love in a way that I think most people do not understand at my age. You see, love is not an emotion or a feeling. It is a choice. Yes, there is the "in love" experience (which statistics show lasts approx. 2 years), but love is ultimately someone saying that they are going to be with this person forever, put them before yourself, be there for them, and love them no matter what. Love is so much more than a feeling or emotion. And also, to me, finding my significant other and spending my life with him is so much more important than my schooling or career. This is someone I am going to spend the rest of my life with. I do plan on finishing school, going to graduate school and even getting a doctorate. I plan on becoming a psychologist and opening my own practice. But how wonderful to have the one I love and who loves me be there for me through all of it! How wonderful to have him be there to encourage me or wipe away my tears when I stumble! How wonderful to have my lover by my side through everything, good and bad!

And, of course, times will be tough, things will be difficult, fights will ensue, tempers will flare, but these things happen with everybody. It is how you react and respond to these trials that makes the difference.

Answer 6

I got married when i was 24. i think its the perfect age to get married (for me anyway). We definitely still feel the same about each other. I couldn't imagine my life without him, and i wouldn't want to. I can't believe that i could have ever been happier without him. We don't have children yet, but i think that when we do, there will definitely be sacrifices made, but i don't think that it will be in the form of sacrificing our happiness to be together. i have a hard time thinking that we will ever consider not being together. we committed to forever on our wedding day.

Answer 7

I was married a week after I turned 19. Hubby was 22.
We had our first baby when I was 22. Then next year baby # 2.
We have been married almost 31 years, and have had a pretty terrific marriage.
I wouldn't change anything about the way we did things.

Answer 8

I'm 26 and I will be married in 13 days. I met my fiance when I was 17 and we have been dating ever since. I am very glad that we decided to wait because neither one of us was mature enough to handle marriage. It's a lot of work to maintain a relationship. The past 9 years have not always been easy, but you work through it.

Answer 9

I am 22 and getting married next summer... we have been together for 8 years.
I knew we needed to wait and grow up as much as possible to make sure we were right for each other... and I could not be happier!

my parents got married at 18... and 25 years later, they still love each other and are going strong. I am not oblivious, i know it was hard, marriage takes work.

Answer 10

I was 21 when I got married 6 years ago. I wish we would have married earlier!!! We were together for 5 years before we got married, and I think we would have been better off getting married right out of school.
