There is a fine line between being a hopeless romantic and a stalker

My ex and I met at 18, married at 19, separated at 20, and divorced at 21. It was really good that way, cuz we were too young to own anything worth fighting over in the divorce.

I dont think ANYONE should ecven consider it before 25. I have told my Daughter over and over again, After College If wants she to live with someone, Fine. Just DONT even think about marrige untill after 25.

I don't think there's an "Ideal" age but like others have said I think its a good idea to wait until after 25... at the least...

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Assuming this is a simi-serious question.I think it is different for everyone.Some people are ment to be together,others need to find out who they are first so they can find someone they will be compatable with.Some people are psycho and should be confined to an institution so they can't fuck up anyone elses life. It's spelled Spence if you want to use that and give credit.

I voted for 21-25 - I doubt that I'll make it, but I think that 24-25 is a good number. Too much younger than that, and it gets unreasonably hard, later than that and age/stubbornness plays in.

It's different for everyone. I have been married for almost 14 years and I am 36. I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a twin who has never been married and I don't think he ever should get married. HE'S still too young, if you know what I mean. My two cents worth.

I always said that whatever time it takes, it takes. But, for an idealized situation, the 25-28 range is good. Any earlier, and I feel that you don't even know yourself enough yet, let alone get to know anybody else. People change so much sometimes when they get out of college and into their mid 20's. But, if you want to throw kids into this, I guess I would want to be married in that 25-27 range so I could spend a few married years enjoying each other's company and then have a kid around 30. (You don't want to be in depends when they graduate high school! )

I dunno... that was always the way I thought of things.

Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)

I am with you...it can take some time to figure out who you really are - some people figure it out early on and then there are some us that need more time!

I agree with you but do you think that your career can play into it as well?

Never. I like having all of my stuff, not half.

I always thought 26 would be a reasonable age for a girl/women to get married. I ended up getting married at 25. It's good. Unbelievably enough, all my childhood friends have been married for years and have several children. I was the last of them to get married... No rush. We plan to enjoy our first year of married life before we consider children.

I think there's an ideal situation... but even though a situation is not ideal; it does not mean that it's a "deal breaker".

As always there are multiple factors that play into relationship - career/school or both/kids/animals -
the ideal situation is different for everyone.

I have read that, statistically, 27 is the magical threshold number - that is, marriages that occur 27 or after have like a 90% survival rate, while marriages before that age have like a 90% failure rate (those numbers may be off).

Maybe this is the lagging maturity of later generations with the extension of average lifespan over the ages, or the fact that many marriages later on are at least second marriages, maybe not so rushed into, with people realizing how they messed up the first time.

What if one of them is 28 and the other is 26?

[johndh1 0]

I think the statistics were not on a per couple basis, but rather individual. In my mind, though, thinking about people I know and have known, it does seem to add up close.

Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
