I was 21 and my wife was 16. That was close to 43 years ago. Great marriage.

I got married at 30 and I am still married so must be going good. Do not rush into anything and just enjoy life until the right one does come along. I never understood the fascination that I see with people who want to settle down in their early to mid 20's. I would say wait until you are closer to 30 or in your 30's to settle down.

Married once and only once at 32. We’re still together 17 years later.

Don’t force it or rush it. At 26 I thought (feared) I’d always be alone. Now I fear I won’t be
It all worked out. Enjoy your single days and do everything you think you want to. And some you don’t. The rest will work itself out.

I was 22. This summer will be 7 years married to that same gal. Has turned out swimmingly. I got lucky though. She really just kinda fell into my lap.

First time?!?!?!

If my first one were to crash I won't bother again.

I was 32 and about to celebrate our 20th.

It would be too late to start over anyway.

I’m ashamed to say I was 20 when I first got married. We were together for 11 tumultuous years before finally divorcing.

I was in the military and thought of my 20yo self as a fully matured adult.

I was a god damn fool

Luckily my second marriage is on year 6 and going strong.

My parents hit 33 years this summer. Immense respect for marriages like that.

Thank you sir, marriage is give and take. I do most of the giving and she does most of the taking.

Get married early. Have your kids early. You dont want to be the gray-haired daddy on the t-ball field.
