People who married at a later age, we’ll say 35 and older, do you wish you would have earlier?
I got married at 45, the wife was 43 at the time and it was the first marriage for both of us (just celebrated 6 years, still going strong).
We're glad we waited until we found "the right one" but while we would have liked to have found each other much sooner, we recognize that we probably wouldn't have been truly ready for the other person if we had met 10-15-20 years earlier.

I was 22 and she was 21. We didn’t seem young back then but it sure seems young looking back at it now. Still married 44 years later.

Engaged at 27, married at 28, first kid at 30 (basically..birthday 2 weeks after my kid's)
Me at 21 with a kid would've been so bad.

Got married when I was 34, her 33.
Had our first child when I was 38.
It was perfect for us. I wasn’t mature enough for either life event.

Engaged at 20. Married at 22. Kids at 28 and 30. I'm 32 now. We traveled a lot before kids, and now our kids will be out of the house (hopefully) before I'm 50. No regrets whatsoever

dont get married early man.
do the shite you want to do. save money, buy things you want, travel. don't jump in unless you found someone you absolutely can't be without. and even if you do, no need to rush it.
being able to just say frick it i want to fly (insert city) with a couple friends for a weekend and not have to worry about another persons opinion or schedule
This is the best advice you'll get on this thread

I was 25 and my wife was 22, we definitely wouldn’t suggest that our future kids get married that young, but we don’t have any regrets. Those few couple years were a learning experience

Married my high school/college sweetheart right after turning 21. Divorced a couple of years later.
Married again at 29, he was 39. 12 years and 2 kids later, still going strong.
I agree and will expound that having life experience is another important part. My ex and I worked great when we were in high school and didn't have any real responsibilities. College we had more but still not exactly real life because our parents were still helping out a lot. The sh*t hit the fan when we were finally out on our own and realized we had VERY different ideas on what being responsible looked like and the best way to achieve our life goals. Love isn't enough in the face of fundamental day to day incompatibility.

What I would say, advice-wise, is that the person is much more important than age. That said, the younger you are and the less you have experienced, the less likely you are to know, really know, that you've got the right person.

People who married early, let’s say before 23, do you regret it?
19 the first time. 100% should not have. You're thinking with your dick.
People who married at a later age, we’ll say 35 and older, do you wish you would have earlier?
35 the second time. I held out and did alright.

Some what, but I knew I had the love of my life. Wife was 18.
Married 40+ years.

I got married at 21, she was 23. I had known her for about 10 months when we got married. I’ve been married to her for 28 years. When I was 21 the thought of living without her was unbearable. Now that we’ve been married for 28 years, I feel the same way only stronger.
Some folks would say 21 was too young. At 21 I was a man capable of making adult decisions. I think some of the other posters could say the same. Did I mature over the years, sure I did. At 21 the foundation was set and hasn’t changed a lot though.
Conversely, I have a nephew that is a 27 year old adolescent. If you are in that place maturity wise, I suggest you wait.

We’re leaving for the hospital in about an hour and a half for my wife’s planned induction. This will be my 5th and I just turned 45. Good
luck
Woman’s Hospital? My wife is going in for an appointment and may well be admitted this morning.
Did you have to be tested for COVID before the induction?
