It seems that people meet thier husband/wife at all different ages. Some over 30 even. Id love to show this to one of my guy friends who believes that if a girl is not married by the time she is 30 its highly unlikely that she will ever get married. Since when is 30 so old? Anyone else hear anything like this. I am single so I dont know what I am doing in this thread ....

happy 37th anniversary, DeltAlum! (unless yalll hit splitsville... then i take it back...)

IMO that's why there are many failed marriages... people just trying to make it happen in the age "window" they think it's supposed to happen at, and just kinda marrying whoever they're with at the time, rather than waiting it out, and working on themselves and the relationship.
That of course isn't to say that there aren't some people who are completely ready by 25 to take that life long plunge, I just think it's sad that people feel badly if it hasn't happened for them yet by then... IDK... shrug
Steps off soap box...

30 Really isn't old....
 

How old were you when you met your husband/wife? 36

How long did you know each other before "the question" was popped? 6 months. I met my husband a couple of months after I broke up with someone I had lived with for 5 years. The minute I met my husband, I was struck by how well we fit together, and by our third date, knew I was going to marry him. I wasn't in a hurry to get married (obviously!) and had to be semi-convinced that we should get married.

How long was the engagement? 6 months. We got married almost a year to the day after we met.

All in all, it's been a heck of a year. We're expecting our first child together on Christmas Eve.:)

Dr. Laura Schlessinger says folks should not get married after they are 30... That is if you believe what she says.

I was 34 when I got married.

I do not think it is the end of life after 25ish if a woman chooses not to marry. The reasons are legion. I personally think that a woman should have her own stuff that she can leverage in the relationship, like money, property and retirement. Yes, a spouse and you and still build on what they bring to the table. But, should the relationship end, and they always do either by divorce or death, then a behooves a woman to be prepared to have a safety net and security. And a pre-nup will not protect her unless it is her own.

I have seen personally what happens to women when their maritial relationships end.

Let's just say "no romance without finance is a nuisance".

Very interesting...BUMP!!!
