I'm 29, I never got married, and I've never felt weird about it.

It's not about age, it's about the person you're meant to be with and want to spend the rest of your life with coming along. I actually think getting married young is generally a bad idea.

I don't think anyone's settled enough to get married until they're, like, forty. Even then, it takes two extraordinarily intelligent and resolute people to make it work in a healthy way, long-term.

Of course, by the time you're forty, you don't want to get married anymore.

I'll just want steady meals at that age.

I agree. I cannot even imagine that I could have been married in my 20s. Sometimes it's difficult to imagine it now and I'm in my mid-30s. I go back and forth about it...sometimes I think it would be nice...other times I'm glad I only have to worry about myself.

Actually, now that I think about it more....I would get married if the guy was stinking rich and would let me have multiple affairs.

That could work for me.

Maybe marriage isn't so bad afterall.

what to the ever, follow the leader sucker

My ex got married today. He has been with this woman for 3 years. She is in her mid 20's and he is 36. I am very happy for the two of them. It has been a rough road for them, and he has only been sober for 2 months.


I was with him for over 10 years, now its her turn

Seriously, she is a good person, I hope she is treated the way she should be.....like a princess.

I was just watching Oprah and thought of this thread, she mentioned a woman who had been married for 37 yrs and knew the day she walked down the aisle it was a mistake So 2 children and 37 yrs later she tells her husband she wants out and he says ok WTF why would someone do this to themselves, make themselves miserable for 37 yrs and knowing from the beginning that it was wrong?

As a person who is 83 yrs. young,
I know that most of my good friends regretted ever getting married.
It's written on almost all their tombstones.

As a matter of fact, one of them just reads "FU-UCK....!!!!"

Thank God I didn't buy a ring yet.

how on earth could she do that? maybe she was only getting into it for the convenience of being married...but still, 37 years? damn.

You have plenty of time to get married. Think like Schwarzenegger when he - during an interview in the 1990s when he was in his mid forties - said: "I feel pretty good now when I'm completing the first third of my life...".

I love the variety of responses.! So I'm here at my Fortuna hotel, chilling on the cut, getting ready for this rehearsal dinner. I hope the best for my friend!

I got invited via phone to a wedding this summer. He asked I said yes...then he proceeded to ask me if I "GOT FAT" or "AM STILL HOT" I was like screw you I'm the same! And I'm a damn good date who isn't going to sleep with you so piss off

It used to be women had a time-clock for having children. Now with recent studies, men do too. There are genetic defects that are related to the father's age. Older fathers in the studies are >31.
If having children is important, it's something to think about.

Most men should NEVER marry before 30

Why?

Most of them still have playing to get out of their system and get their life together. I find that it is far more important for a man to have plenty to offer before the commitment thing happens.

Just me...get that bachelor life out of the way and out of your system and then cool it a little.

Also..I think that I've changed a lot from 25 to 30. When you are growing like that emotionally, sometimes the other person can't grow with you. At 30 plus you are who you are gonna be, confident, and mature (most cases).

couples who get together in their 30s usually have better odds at staying together, since by your 30s you kind of are who you were going to be.
