Marriage Age

[LightBulb]

Most of the people around here get married in their mid-20s.

It seems like a lot of people either get married in college (often correlated with pregnancies) or they marry their sweethearts soon after graduating from college or grad/law school.

Please note that my age group may be skewed slightly older because pretty much 100% of people from my high school attend college.

One other thing I'd like to note is that many of these college sweethearts are marrying people of the same age/grade. The ones who aren't are usually not too far apart, usually with the guy about two years older than the girl.

And then there are those of us who wait until we are over 40, when family and friends have all lost hope-- that's OK. I did this, and my brother got married 14 months ago at the age of 48. His first child was just born (several months before he tuns 50). His wife is 12 years younger than he is.

I just turned 31, and my bf will turn 42 in February, and we're just getting to the point where we'll probably be engaged soon. I feel like it's perfect timing for me. All of my friends got married in their upper 20s after dating their SOs for many years. The only people I've known that got married in college were LDS; and my chapter only had one candlepass in my four years of college. I thank God every day that I did not marry the southern "gentleman" who was my college boyfriend!
