    I was 28. At the time I thought it was old and I'd never get married. In retrospect it gave me tiem to figure out who I was and what I wanted. there's no way I would be happy now with the guys I dated in my early 20's! LOL

    I was 44 years old when I got married. We've been married going on 8 years this coming Oct 3rd.
    I'm 14 1/2 yrs older than hubby. This is my first and my last marriage
    I will be 52 yrs old next week. Hubby is 38 yrs old.
    I'm glad I waited to find the right guy
    There are to many people in my generation who are working on second/third/and even 4th hubbys because they got married to young in their 20's.

    I was 22 and he was just shy of 24. It'll be 6 years this October. We got married less than a year out of college and didn't start dating until our last year there. We'd been friends the entire time though.

    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.

    I was 44 when I got married. I think the notion of older women/younger man is really starting to fade into the woodwork so to speak. Our families were thrilled. We were both mature adults and knew what we wanted out of life, our familes could see that in our relationship. People who meet us today accept us like any other married couple.

    My closest neighbors are another couple like this. The husband is actually very close to the same age as his wife's son from her first marriage. She is in her late 60's. He's 40. They've been married for almost 10 years. They are without a doubt, the happiest, most devoted, loving couple I've ever seen. They truly adore each other. Their families were a little freaked out at first, but everyone gets along well now. Love knows no boundaries. If it works, who cares about the age numbers!??
    If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you must find the courage to live it.

    I was married eight days shy of my 18th birthday. My ex husband was 20. We've been divorced since 1999, though...David better be my next husband, and, I'll be sure to let you know when that happens, I'm sure I'll be at least 30 by that point.
