Family friend's daughter got married in a huge church wedding in BR. It lasted about three months. The groom was a male librarian, so you figure out the likely point of conflict.

My youngest will be 18 when I'm 48. Leaves lots of time to travel while I'm in my 50's and can really enjoy it before I start lugging around grandkids.
Married at 22 divorced at 38.
While married the wife got her LPN and RN. Guess after she got through with school she didn't need me around to pay the bills, take care of kids, or other stuff but she differently ain't no looker anymore that's for sure hope she finds that buck toothed, inbred, country boy she deserves where she lives now. Lol.

At 25 your brain has stopped developing so any wedding with both spouses over age 25 should last. If it doesn't, they should be shot and taken out of society.

I got married at 26. Had been with my wife for a long time. We had lived together for a little over a year right after college. Then we lived together again for a while before getting married. We knew what we were getting into. If we haven't gotten divorced, I don't know how anyone can get divorced 
. We both have tempers and can really get into it. But at the same time, we make up and get over it. It's not like we sit back and are like "man I really don't know this person and I don't think this is going to work". I don't get how people can get married and realize they don't want to spend the rest of their lives with someone so quickly. I fully understand after years of marriage people may change or "fall out of love". But I for the life of me don't see how that happens over a few years.

I don't think that age itself matters. When you're older, though, you realize that you have to marry someone with whom you're compatible, not just some hot girl that puts out, so the marriage is more likely to last. To have a shot at success, you've got to have similar interests and values and genuinely like your partner--not just the facade (that will surely fade).

I really think it depends on the situation. If you have kids early on, I think you might be pretty fricked. We waited a good 5 years before having kids and in retrospect was an excellent choice. On the brightside though, kids will be out of the house when we are in our 40's.... boom

Boom. Its funny though, society only talks about "marrying some hot girl that puts out", and only in ultra ultra serious circumstances will anyone talk about the deep down truth of it all that the facade will fade if its not genuine.

Agreed. Everyone wants it to fit together and then "live happily ever after". I know many girls will not admit it, but subconsciously I think all this shite (the fake 30 minute acting) seen in movies, tv, pinterest pictures, facebook nonsense, it all builds up to one giant unrealistic goal that is not only unattainable but will not make them any happier AT ALL. They believe it will though, and most fall for it every time.
The look mature, act mature, do mature things, but at the end of the day, the biggest decisions they make show deep immaturity and lack of perspective for life and its shortness.

I got married at 24 (wife 25), first child at 27 (wife 28). I think it's working out well for us because there was never a pressure to "find someone". I dated girls in college knowing I had no long term plans with them. I proposed to my wife because I honestly met the perfect companion, not because it was " time to get married".

Wow. Not very classy of your wife to go through the whole wedding even at that stage. The honeymoon? Wow. How dumb is that?
Unfortunately for a lot of couples, planning the wedding and honeymoon is the first major life decision they make as a team. You learn a lot about someone when you have to work together and compromise on significant issues. The wedding planning process should be a great opportunity for a guy or girl to see how their future spouse deals with stress, unexpected changes, financial issues, etc. Many discover at this point that their future spouse has some serious incompatibilities, yet feel trapped and that it is too late due to the embarrassment and wasted money on a broken engagement.
My best advice as a married man: Wait until you have experienced a stressful and difficult life event together, see how your girlfriend/boyfriend reacts to it, and then make a decision on whether to marry them.

Social media has ruined many a relationship.
It's easier to reconnect with old flames and wonder what could have been. It's easier to see how others are doing. It's just easier now a days to leave someone than it used to be. It's easier to listen to others instead of trying to work it out. I also blame her dumbass counselor she was going to without telling me and her doctor that we both went to for checkups recommended to leave. But hey nurses are always fricking doctors so I guess there was that too.
I know my ex didn't have any problem leaving me, taking my kids, financially ruining me. She didn't have any remorse or anything and we had been together since 1998.

You beat me. It took 24 hours to realize my mistake. Realized she just wanted someone to move her out of state.

Jeez, how long were yall together before? That seems like something you should have seen coming, if you knew her well enough.

My wife and three of her cousins all around the same age all got married two years of each other. They all had real expensive weddings and big honeymoons. We got married at the court house for $25 and didn't go on a honeymoon. We saved our money for our home. Her relatives were saying to others that we will never make it. All her cousins are divorced now so we lasted longer than them.
Some things I have learned about having a successful marriage is :
Don't be selfish
Anticipate the rough patches in life
If you both go to sleep angry waking up you still will be angry
A lady loves to make love to her man but some times she needs to get pounded and you have to know what she needs with out her telling you
Most important make each other laugh
