how old were you when you got married?

I met my husband when i was 23 and he was 19. We got married when i was 25 and he was 21. I think at this age sometimes it really doesn't matter how old you are. Maturity has alot to do with. Communication, compromise and patience helps also. I used to be stupid and give him ammo when we would argue and just go back and forth, now I just take a deep breath and go to the other room, even though it kills me not to argue back. I just remind myself that he is younger than me and think to myself is this really worth fighting over. I love him more than anything and I know he loves me the same :)

I was 19... we've been through a lot together. I don't regret any of it of what we've been through. Honestly I wouldn't recommend any of my children marrying at the age I did, because it's been hard, because of our emotions. At a young age you don't know who you even are, so that's why it puts a strain on marriages at a young age. So the challenge is to find who you are and your spouse to do the same with themselves and raising kids all at the sametime. Sounds simple, but it's not, we all have our own timing. But I couldn't stop my children from making their own decisions when that time comes, and if they decide whether or not to marry at a young age. I can just be there for them when they go through there up's and down's of married life. For all the things I've been through, good or bad, I wouldn't change it for the world. I wouldn't be where I'm at today. A lot of our good times together out weighs the bad. Our struggles together just made us stronger and gave us more understanding of each other. Marriage is not for wimps... it challenges you in everyway, something you can't experience with anyone else, but your spouse. It's the most important relationship you'll ever have in your lifetime.

I was 18 and been married for 17 years. No regrets what-so-ever. A marriage is what you make of it. It takes a lot work sometimes depending on the things you have to deal with. The most important things are LOVE and COMMUNICATION.

first marriage, I was 17. WAY too young. Divorced after 4 years. Then I got married at 29 and have been married for a year and a half. Good for you for sticking through things :)

I was 21. I'm now 23 and going through a divorce. It would have been okay, only the guy I married was a scum-bag. Just a bad choice in men.

I was 33, he was 36 and we were together for 5 years before marriage.

Because we were going to spend the rest of our lives together, we wanted to know eachother inside and out, mentally, physically and emotionally.

Well we did and we still do, because we're happily married for 10 years. He was definitely the man I was waiting for.

My wife and I were both 18 yrs old when we were married. No regrets, it just keeps getting better even now 36 yrs later.

We were both young and immature but we grew together instead of apart and our love has grown and we enjoy our grandkids.

37. I'd been in long term relationships before, but it seems they weren't with the right people. I married my wife 10 months after meeting her online.

Sometimes, meeting that special person can take a while. Different strokes...
