If you married for the first time over age 30...

OMG that’s hilarious in a horrifying way!

I got married three months shy of 30, so I might not count, but DH and I just celebrated 26 years.

I know many who have married after 30 and are still going strong.

Umm, and your reply should of been. "Hmm, why do you open your mouth" Who says something like that! Family or not.

I didn't even meet my husband till I was 36 and yes we're still going strong 13 years later.
Sometimes it's ok to tell people they're talking bollocks.

What an odd thing to say. I was 28 (dh was just shy of 34) when we got married. We've been married for 24 years now and still going strong.

I was very career oriented until I was 36. The bank I worked for in Louisiana sent me to San Francisco for a bond closing. I went out early to spend the weekend with my sister since she lived in the Bay Area. She invited a fellow real estate agent over for dinner. That was on Palm Sunday. We were married Thanksgiving weekend and I relocated to the Bay Area.

That was 34 years ago. The advantage to getting married in your 30's is you know what you want in a partner and you've likely sowed your wild oats. At least I had.

I know people who have married later in life and are still going strong decades later. I think your family member has a screw loose.

They are 70 years old and telling you that you are closer to death?

It must be their old fashioned way of thinking. Tons of people marry in their 30's and older. I was mid 30's. I couldn't imagine marrying any time earlier. I was wiser and had my stuff together.

Out of all my school friends, the only one who is still married now is the last one to get married (age 31). All the rest of us who got married in our mid 20s are now divorced! I’m 53.

I was 42 and we will celebrate 15 years in September.

That person is a dick.

Whaaaaa? That’s nuts. My brother married at 38 and they just celebrated 10 years last September. My mom died and my dad remarried at 49. She was 45 and had never been married. They just celebrated their 25th anniversary last month.

That’s a bunch of bullshit.

I got married when I was 31. This October we will celebrate 30 years married.

We waited to have a child. I was 39 when I had our dd. I turned 40 2 months after having her.

Married at 30 and doing fine 10 years later. Statistically speaking the best age range to get married is 28-32 but that is by no means the rule.

What a weird thing for your relative to say.

Well 29 but...still happy 27 year’s later. Ridiculous- obviously 😀
