WOW! My husband's sister has been dating a guy who is 38 and she is also 52. I thought she was the only one in the world who was in that type of relationship. What did your/his family think? I know somehow it is not as acceptable when the woman is older than the man although I never did understand that really.

Back to the original question....I was 20 when I got married and hubby was 22. He was in the military (USAF) and we got married so that we could stay together if he got stationed somewhere far away. Silly reason, huh? To be honest, looking back I think I was too young, although we are still together after all of these years - 40th anniversary is coming up in November.
