1) How old were you and DH when you got married?
2)How long have you been married?
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married?
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids?
Re: another poll
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? both of us were 23
2)How long have you been married? since may of this year
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? i don't think there's really an ideal age..it just all depends on whether the people involved are mature enough to handle it
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? again, depends on the people. If you're ready and are financially stable i say go for it.
Blog!
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? I turned 26 a week before my wedding. DH was almost 22. (LOL yeah I have a young one
)
2)How long have you been married? almost 2 and a half years
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? hmm that one is tough..I honestly think it varies by person...it has to do a lot with maturity and such...like in my case I was ready by about age 24
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? same as above...all depends on the person. I used to think I wanted kids at an early age..whereas I am still young I really wasn't ready for kids until I turned 27...then it was like BAM that clock hit me lol!
1) How old were you and DH when you got married?We were both 27
2)How long have you been married?Since June of this year.
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married?I don't think there is an ideal age, it's more about maturity. That being said, I don't know very many 18 year olds that are mature enough to handle marriage, but I also know some 30 year olds who aren't ready.
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? Same as above.
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? I was 25 and he was 29
2)How long have you been married? just at 3 years
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? I mean, it totally depends on the people and the relationship. When I got married, I still felt too young to be getting married, but I knew we were ready...and I still sometimes sit back and think "God, I am just a kid"...but I think it all has to do with how you view yourself, and what "age" means to you.
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? Again...same thing with the getting married question...I honestly don't think I will EVER be an "ideal" age to have kids...we still question whether we want to have them at all...so we shall just see. I think for me, older is better though...I mean, obviously I am kind of putting myself in that place by not having them anytime soon....but I have always thought if I ever have them...I will be in my 30's.
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? 22 dh 24
2)How long have you been married? 5 years
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? I agree about there not being an ideal age---I wish that we would have waited a few years just so that I could have learned to become more independent on my own, but it wouldn't have changed who I wanted to marry.
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? I don't think that there is an ideal age, but I think that you should have done everything that you want to do as a couple before introducing a little one in the mix b/c it definitely changes things!
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? We were both 24
2)How long have you been married? a little over a year
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? I think it really depends on the couple instead of the age. A couples who is mature, honest, and communicate with each other is at the ideal place to get married in my opinion.
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? I don't think there is an ideal age. I think once a couple is ready and finacially stable is when they should have kids.
I do hate it though when people think you have to be a certain age to get married or have kids. It puts so much pressure on people who are at the decided age and not married. I really wish people would just take their time and find the right person and not worry that they will be 30 and not married (or whatever age they say you should be married by). The same with having kids.
I was almost 22 and he was, well a lot older
We have been married for 15 months
I really think it is different for everyone except I think that everyone should be over 18.
I honestly think it depends on the couple and their personal circumstances.

me 24, dh 25
2)How long have you been married?
2 years, 4 months
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married?

4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids?
depends...no right/wrong answer
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? I was a month away from turning 26!
2)How long have you been married? Two years...Tomorrow...yay
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? I don't think there is an "ideal" age. I think it varies from person to person...and where you are at in your life!
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? Again...I don't think there is an "ideal" age. It just varies from person to person.
1) How old were you and DH when you got married?
me 24, dh 25
2)How long have you been married?
5 months
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married?
depends on the people
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids?
depends
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? I had just turned 24 and he was 23.
2)How long have you been married? 4 years this past August
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? I agree---it depends..
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? Again, I agree it depends...
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? I was 25, DH was 28
2)How long have you been married? 2 years tomorrow... yay!
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? It gets later as I get older. Personally, in college I felt I was ready to get married. Then I didn't get married until I was 25 and was glad I had waited. Now, I could see myself even having waited a couple more years. It wouldn't have changed who I married, but I do think it's a good thing to be done with school and have started a career. I needed to be independent before I could be a good partner and a wife.
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? It varies. I know some women who became very young moms who are excellent at it. I personally always thought 27 or 28 would be perfect. I'll be almost 28 when this child is born.
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? We were both 26
2)How long have you been married? Almost 1.5 yrs
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? I don't think there is one... depends on the person.
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? Again, it depends. I've heard it's good to be married for 2-3 yrs before kids, but I don't think that's true for everyone. I have friends that got pregnant right after marriage, and it's all good with them.
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? He was 21, and I was 22
2)How long have you been married? a year and a half
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? I think it's good in general to grow up a little first and know your own goals before marrying someone-but that can mean different things to different people. In my own case, I didn't have as much independent time as I could have, but that is just how it worked out and that's okay-but I can see how it's generally a good thing to have that for a little while for most people.
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? Again it depends. I think people should ideally plan to have kids, and accordingly be responsible , but that happens at various ages. No matter the age, it should be a very well thought out and careful decision., and not taken lightly.
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? I was 33, he was 38
2)How long have you been married? since Feb of this year.
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? I think that depends on the person/couple. I don't think people are really ready until they've been out of school for a while, been on their own, etc. But that is just MY opinion based upon what I have been through and seen in life. I think marrying right out of college is not alwyas ideal but works for some. I think you learn so much about yourself being on your own, going through your 20's, etc. But again, JUST my opinion. Many marry right out of college and last forever
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? I don't think there is an "ideal" age, I think as long as you are both responsible, financially able, and ready, then that is up to the couple. For us, if we had met earlier, probably would have been our early 30's.
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? I will be 31, and he'll be 32
2)How long have you been married? n/a. We've been together almost 4 years now though
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? There is no ideal age. I obviously am a 'late' bloomer in this respect. For me, it was important for me to go to college, get educated, and have some experiences on my own - mostly because I think it's important for a woman to feel independent. However, there are plenty of people that don't do this that are perfectly happy.
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? I have no idea. I still can't be responsible enough to take care of myself. :-)
1) How old were you and DH when you got married? I was 27, DH was 26
2)How long have you been married? almost 4 years
3)What do you think the ideal age is to get married? It just depends on if you have a stable job, and good place to live, and are mature enough.
4)What do you think the ideal age is to have kids? again, it depends. Stable job and finances, and if you are 100% ready
