23. I've been married longer than I was single. I have nieces older than I was when I got married and I still think they are too young to get married.

I was 31, DH was 30. We're coming up on 6 years married and 11 years together.
I was engaged to someone else at 23. I don't even want to think of the disaster that would have been. I just wasn't ready at that age.

I have been married twice. I was 23 the first time and of a mindset that it was 'time' to get married. I married for financial stability. We were married 5 years and only together half that time, no kids. He provided financial stability but everything else was upheaval.
I got married the second time when I was a month away from 31. We have been married 28 years. I got married for companionship the second time. I wish he had been able to provide the financial stability I was seeking in my first marriage but I had learned to be dependent only on myself. We still get along well but could be better friends than we have been over the past decade or so.
Let me say I felt like I was in love with both men that I married, but I was a fractured teen and probably have never known what healthy love is because I frequently confused love with stability. My son is moving back home from college this weekend. My Dh has been sleeping in his room. I would like to still share a room but I can't take his snoring. He is finally going to the doctor. We are both so unhealthy and finally starting to get real to that fact.

I was 28. DH was 27. I hadn't yet even moved out of my parents' house! I now wish I had lived on my own first. Doing a bit better lately and we've so far made it to 22 years.

I was 20, and that was 29 years ago, and we sleep in separate beds, but we're doing just fine, thankyouverymuch to the RefuPea who posted on the sleeping separately thread that she knew why so many RefuPeas complained about their sex life -- that wasn't me! I remember being very calm. One of my sorority sisters came to see me before the ceremony. She brought a card with a very sweet letter, and then she cried. She had gotten married right after high school, and it didn't last, so she was already divorced by the time she was a sophomore in college. I hugged her and wondered why she was so upset. It was just a wedding, after all. Yikes! Still -- I was young, and I'm glad neither of my children married so young. We sleep separately as well. It's fairly common if people just would talk about it. Some builders are even building dual master suites because of this. Many couples have different ways they like the room and there may be snoring/medical issues preventing the other person from getting a proper night's rest. Often times it's better for everyone to have your own room if possible. I remember my mom saying back in the day that if a couple shared a double bed, they had more room in their cribs as babies to themselves. LOL. Good 'ol mom.

We are both so unhealthy and finally starting to get real to that fact. I need to talk to DH about going for a sleep study for his snoring. I'd like to sometimes share a bed with him if we are going to make this thing work. Been struggling some but am seeing some improvement lately. I like having my own room but sometimes it would be nice to sleep next to him again. Good luck finding a cure for your DH's snoring.

I turned 23 about 3 weeks before we got married (my DH had just turned 22 the week before we got married). We've known each other since I was 10.

A month after I turned 29. Dh was 29 also. I felt like it was older because some of my friends were married between 22 - 26 yrs old.
But when I see someone who is 26, married, two kids and a house, my first thought is "man that is way too young". lol It really isn't though. I think it is because I was still having fun, being single and partying until I was about that age.

I was 22 and DH had just turned 24. We lived together for 2 years prior to marriage and it will be 21 years this December. He is still my best friend and I love him even more now if that is possible That being said, I see 22 and 24 year olds today and think they are just babies and way too young to be getting married!

DH was 19 and I was 20. We will celebrate 33 years in December. We had our kids young, too, and were empty nesters at 42/43. I would also do it again in a heartbeat. We learned about life together, although even then, we were "old". We are still the best of friends, I am incredibly blessed.

We were 25 and have been married for 15 years. I think it was a perfect age to get married. We were finished with college and both had good jobs and had done a fair bit of single living, traveling etc. We had our first child 2 years later and that was a little unplanned. Would have loved to have had 1-2 more years together kid free but otherwise we have had a great marriage and life.

We were just discussing this yesterday. I was 23, he was 25. Although we didn't feel young, most of our friends were already married by that point, we very much were young.
However, we grew up together. I married my best friend, and he still is. I am glad we waited 6 years before children came along. It was good for us. But 15 years later we're still going strong.
