Question for the married Huddlers.

Cant say that Im shocked but still it bugs me that so many people seem to think that marriage is for people +30. I mean why are so many people hell bent on being in their 50s or 60s before your kids graduate from high school? Why do so many folks seem to want to be middle aged parents?

Plus I think its bullshit to say you don't know yourself or what you want before you're 25.

Married @ 22, daughter @ 24, married 24 years and couldn't be happier.

My parents have been together since they were 15. Married when they were 20. Now are 50. Now it is just rare for that work. Although it doesn't matter what age. In US, your most likely divorced at some point which is sad.

Good for you Inmicus, but I think that you are more the exception than the rule. It's different for everyone...

I was pretty mature as a 21 y.o., had a steady job before I even graduated college and was doing pretty well... but I can say now looking back that I really didn't know who I was... and I think that we got married for all the wrong reasons. Not that it's been all bad, because it hasn't, but it's not been what it could be either...

Glad that you found that right person at age 22 Inimicus. But, I do think you are more the exception like biscuit said. Knowing who you are and what you want out of life at 20-22 is actually pretty rare....even though every 20 yo thinks they have it figured out. Most often, people continue to change at that age. You may find your perfect match at 21, only to find out that you want different things in life at age 28.

There are no hard and fast rules with this, except for one. If your are not 100% sure.....don't pull the trigger.

Nothing better than being married to the right person.....nothing worse than being married to the wrong one.

Want to find a wife go to a Huddle Tailgate seems to work alot around here.

As for me never really thought about getting married. I enjoy my independence to much when I was younger. Getting older now I do regret one thing and that is not having any kids. But it isnt something that getting married for to the wrong person I want to do. I will hopefully find what Im looking for in the next couple of years though.

Married in my 20's and still hanging in there, don't think being married in your 20's is an exception to the rule. Most of the folks I know actually married around 25 or 26ish. I guess it just depends on your personality, I never wanted to be the old dude in the club looking for someone to go home with in my mid to late 30's

nc_biscuit and MH - I get what you're saying and I would agree that most folks who take the plunge at 22 are going to have a tough row to hoe, but that doesn't mean its impossible.

I guess I'm just taking exception with the idea that its a forgone conclusion that it should be avoided before your late twenties.

I think what people are saying is that, you have a better shot at making it work getting married at 31 than 21. Not that the 21 year old's can't do it, just that it's probably a little tougher.
