I got married when I was 20, I was totally ready. I've wanted to be a wife and mother as long as I can remember, but he however jumped into something he wasn't ready for, even though he insisted that he was. Things didn't work out for us. In his case he was never taught what a husband or father was and he lost his mother at an early age so he never learned about family. After our daughter was born things totally fell apart. I think it true that it totally depends on the level of maturity but I hope for my daughter that she wait. I don't want what happened to me to happen to her. Now I have this wonderful man in my life and I'm scared to death to marry him. | ||

Oh boy! Well, I'm 23 and I'm getting "married" on November 17 of next month. I personally feel like I'm getting married, but everyone doesn't agree with gay marriage and I don't want to offend, so we'll say I'm "committing." Without one doubt, he's the one. I will fully admit that I don't have all of the answers, and that this is going to be work, but I'm mature enough to handle this. We're already very committed to each other, the ceremony is just letting everyone else know. I think it comes down to maturity. A lot of people my age really don't take the time to think before they jump into a marriage. | ||

From my experience I'll do my best to keep my children from getting married untill after 25. I got married the first time at 21, I was married for 8years. He stayed EXACTLY the same and I changed. I was 30 when I got married again. My life is completely different and I couldn't be happier. I don't think most people really know who THEY are untill between 25 and 30. | ||

 . The older people are when they get married, the lower the divorce rate (at least that is my perception). With that said, "maturity" is very relative. Last edited by jtee : 10-22-2007 at 11:36 PM. | |||

My DH and I are HS sweethearts. We started dating when we were 17, and married when we were 21. We've been married 14 years now (15 years in Feb!) and couldn't be happier. | ||

yesI can say that I have changed a lot since getting married and so has my husband, but we have grown together. Not always in the same direction mind you. To me age is just age, but I do agree that older is usually better. I would just prefer my child to graduate from college before getting married. Penn- to me, yes you are getting married. You are in a committed relationship with someone and live as a married couple. regardles of the sex of the two involved. There are many gays that do not act that way as there are many straights that do not act that way. But to me, you are getting married

Being in my mid 30's and having been married at 23 seems awfully young looking back at it now. At 30, women really seem to come into their own - get past what others think and how others want them to be. There is a confidence you gain going through various experiences that you just don't typically have at an early age. I would stall my kids if possible (HA...like I would have a choice) until 30. | ||

I think it has to do with the maturity level of the two. My husband and I have been dating 4 years and got married last year. We have a beautiful daughter together and I'm 18 and hes 20. We're doing better than most older married people i know actually.
