At what age did you get married and do you now think it was a good age?

1. 21, it was good for me.

2. 24. No, definitely not

3. 34, and I don’t regret my choices. I nailed it.

4. 23 and no.

5. 25

   Was for us, but YMMV.

6. 28, and I think it was just the right time for me, everyone is different.

7. I was 22 and absolutely not, definitely needed to grow up more.

8. 26 and perfect.

9. 35

   Probably should have gotten married sooner but I was slow on proposing and then we decided we wanted to save up to have a proper wedding instead of just going down to the courthouse and filling out the paperwork

10. 27, and it was a pretty good for me.

11. Married at 31, separated at 36, divorced at 39. I don’t think age has as much to do with it as you might think, there are a ton of other factors.

12. 23, it went well enough. We had our first kid at 25, and all of them will be “grown” in 5 years, which will be early 50s for us. But that is only a topic if you want to have kids, and how old do you want to be when they are old enough to take care of themselves.

13. 23 and yes, good age, bad choice of wife.

14. Got married at 40.

    Would have loved to be married earlier but I didn’t meet my wife until my late 30s

15. I was almost 25 and she was my first serious girlfriend. We divorced 27 yrs later. Hard to say if it was a good age or not.

16. 33, felt great

17. 35 and it’s fine. Not much changed.

18. I got married at age 22: way too young. I hadn’t even graduated from university yet.

    And yet, I wouldn’t change that decision if I could. After 31 years of marriage, I still love my wife so much that the thought of being without her is absolutely unthinkable.

19. Married at 21. Just celebrated our 39th anniversary. Good choice for me.

20. Late twenties. I could have gotten married earlier, but was not ready for it.

21. 22. No, i fucking regret it every day. I should of waited till 28.

22. The age where

    1. You don’t ask this question.

    2. This question doesn’t get asked every couple of days in this subreddit.

23. 27. Yes. 36m now.

    We are at 1/3 of our 30 yr mortgage. 2 kids. Both did graduate school.

    I had 9 years to college, start in my career, and goof off dating wise. She had 7.

    Contemplating either a vaca home, RV, land, or investment property.

    I think mid 20s for marriage is a good choice.

24. 21. Great age. Have had 56 good years so far.
