At what age did you first get married?

[Niffer]

21! He was 24.

 

[christianmomma]

19, he was 21. We'll be married 7 years this September

 

[Cynthia85]

I was 21 and he was 27.

 

[heart of peace]

We were both 23, going on 10 years married this year

 

[k450ofu3k-gh-5ipe]

Both were 21.

 

[aunt_kelly]

20 for me and 23 for DH.

 

[created4success]

I was 21 when I first got married.

 

[YoungMarriedLove]

I was 15 and my husband was 18.

 

[Macx]

Just 24, she was about to turn 25, it was during that part of the year that we were the same age. We were married 7 years. She cheated with a man in his late 40's.

Second marriage is much better to a woman never married in her mid 30's.

 

[With Love Sherri]

19, last year. <3

 

[Rebekka]

I was 28 and my husband 37 when we got married (first marriage for both - in my ears, "first marriage" sounds weird because neither of us plan to remarry, ever). We'll be married 6 years in June.

 

[MommyLovesGOD]

I was 18! We were high school sweet hearts that met at Church. Still happy 11 years and 7 kids later (nearly 8)! Friends joke that we are still newlyweds.

I wonder where we'll be 11 years from now!

 

[MoodyBlue]

Married at age 23 (my wife and I are the same age), we will be celebrating our 30th anniversary in June!

 

[Kaitmeister]

20, a month shy of 21. My husband was 22.

 

[waving_palm_branches]

I was 21 just a few weeks shy of 22. I am about one month from being 23 now but I usually give people the date of how long we've been dating for how long we have been married because at that point when he kissed me for the first time after we had been head over heels for each other for a year, I considered him my husband in heart and soul and knew only death would part us and I stayed true to that vow and will remain so.

Ok so right now 35 seems to be the cut off point for first marriages.... hmm.

 

[Peripatetic]

This poll skews surprisingly young. The general public seems to be getting married later these days. I got married at 23, and most of my friends married much later (or not yet). I'm also surprised at how few of them are still waiting on kids, while I'm less than a year away from having a teenager.

 

[pentecostalgirl0414]

I got married when I was 19 my husband was 18. We where best friends for about 6 years and dated for 4 years. We met at church and have been together ever since. The Lord has blessed us in so many ways. We are expecting our first child now!! God is so good!

 

[dinonum]

18

My husband was a few months shy of 38 when he married me.

In real life I hardly know any people who got married under 25, and only one person born after 1945 who was not yet 25 (24 to be precise) when she got married. Most people over here get married (for the first or only time) in their late twenties (28+) to mid thirties.

It's not even so much a "these days" thing - in my region the most common age to get married has been in the 25-30 range for a couple of centuries, especially in agricultural circles.
