When is it better to get married, in your early 20s, or in your early to mid 30s?

Never.

Early 20s. I got married at 24 and looking back, I wish I would have married her 3 years earlier.

lol
what the hell do you think ?

What a stupid question NEXT.

Get married early. WAIT to have kids.

Late 20's/ Early 30's...

If you are going to have kids...

Do it before 35, otherwise, you'll be an "Old" parent like I am. It's hard as hell to keep up with my 7 years old. My now 21 year old was EASY to chase down at that age.

Doesn't matter, as long as you marry a woman who is on your same level career and income wise.

The people who wine on forums that divorce is horrible and they have to pay their ex wife hundreds of dollars a month are in that place because they married a loser woman who had no career or wanted to be a stay home mother.

If you are a professional, then marry another professional. If you make minimum wage, marry a woman who also makes minimum. Men start destroying their life when a blue collar man who makes 50,000 a year marries a jobless woman simply because she is good looking. This is the path of self destruction for that man, and he will get what he signed up for when in family court.

A smart man marries a woman on the same professional level as he is, then if they divorce then the kids go to the mom half the time and to the dad half the time and nobody has to pay each other.

I got married at 18, wife was 21.
We met when we were 16 and 18.
Been married 36 years.
Ups and downs along the way.
But still in Love.
It's really if you can get over the bad little things and
appreciate the good ones.

Around 35 is safest bet

Listen here young whippersnapper, never ever tie the knot. It's one big trap. I been married 12 times. I'm paying alimoney on all 12. Heed my warning young bucks!

Do not marry. It's a trap!

if it is the kids you want,then make few gf pregnant by age of 20.Stay in low paying job till you reach 40s.By that time,childcare and alimony will be over.Then you can restart your life

There's a lot of truth to this. If you have a high paying job and your spouse does not then you will get screwed in court and they will try to make you pay lots of money and will only let you see kids every other weekend. Better to make less money than your spouse if you have kids.

Divorce rate is much higher in those who marry under 25.

Never

You can't be looking back all that far if you think 3 years is of any significance.

i really believe it is silly for people to put of child rearing for any reason.

have your children young (if you can) while you and your spouse are in the height of your health. you will be giving them the strongest gift.

however, don't forget that people of all ages get married. i remember the wedding of my widowed grandfather at 65 ish.

in general, you get married when you find the right person. and not an instant before.

for the poster who said marry a professional, i made more money that my husband when we married. over time we slowly weened off my salary and i became a stay-at-home. hubs got 2 advanced degrees because i was there to keep the home lights burning and has had a very good career. we are very happy with the way our lives have gone.

i would say marry a person you ADMIRE. a person with similar background, morals, work ethic and probs born in the same decade.

Late 20s

Didn't get married 'till I was 36. Had kids at 41 and 44. Glad I waited...altho I'll be pretty old when they get to college.

Have kids young marriage is optional.

20s.

Have children earlier rather than later.

Mid 20's.

Spend about 5 years travelling and enjoying each others company before you have kids.

Make sure you have kids before 35. Trust me on that one....the lack of sleep alone is brutal. I had my first kiddo in my 20's and last one at 33. I wish I would have had them all before 30.

thanks

I'm 50 with a 15 year old. I feel your pain. One of my regrets was not starting our family earlier as well.

26 yrs and counting here. Lots of bumps and there are things I've done and said I wish I could take back. She's the best thing that has ever happened to me, along with my kids, and I'm making sure she knows that every day.

Ditto.

Is your name Charlie by any chance? Work for AZDPS? Currently divorcing your stay at home wife who you wanted to have homeschool your kids, but then you found someone "better" and left your wife of 15 years?

come on queenbee..don't give us fake feminist talk .Women marry for sex and free money.

Charlie, is that you?
