But you offered the opinion that he was too young.
I'm of the belief that if a couple is *truly* mature enough and has a forward-vision and will work together to make their life wonderful, then as young as 20-21 is not too young, imo.
I know couples that married while young (20) and 10 years later they have great marriages. On the flip side, I know couples who married at 30 or older who aren't doing so well.
People who married in the 1940's and 50's most often did so while young. My parents as well as my husband's parents.
All in all, it depends on the couple. imo. :o)
btw, I'm sorry things didn't work out for you. At the right time, with the right lady, it will be lovely. :o)
I appreciate that.
Dr. Laura says after 28 and that might be a good rule of thumb. In today's world, the divorce rate is high when marrying young.
Kind of interesting so I'll go on. Do you think(talking generally here) that marriages work better/less/no effect when both are the same age? I think the guy needs to be older(seasoned) to be a good provider. A lot is expected from the man and he will benefit from some "sowing of oats"(personally and professionally) while the same is not true of the woman.
