How many married after 25?

[Chan1976]

me me me
I was 26, and DH was 28. We both felt that it was the perfect time for us to get married.

Some Christians do seem to marry younger than other couples. Don’t worry about age and marriage. If and when God wants you to marry, He will lead you down that path, no matter how hold you are, or what you might be doing at that time. Pray about it, and trust in Him to work things out for His glory. He knows what is best for you.

I am 37 and my husband is 40, and we got married only 5 months ago. Everything in God's time.

Okay, figuring this out because for the last few days I haven't been able to remember how old we were...hold on...okay, we were both 27 when we married. For some reason I was thinking we were 26.

Anyhow, I didn't start worrying about marrying at 21 but I know that I started thinking about it around the age of 24. Honestly, I wasn't mature enough to marry that young and God really knew what He was doing by waiting to introduce us.

We've been married over ten years now and it really has been a blessed marriage. We're best friends and I do think waiting to marry was a big part of that for us.

I dont mean to lecture.

But dont focus on how old you are and "looking" for a wife.

You focus on being an awesome person and loving life.

Your dreams will come true.

Hi all,

Not really sure if I'm aloud to post in here, but I got a quick question. My step-sister just got married at age 22 a few months ago and it seems many other Christian people I know are marrying around that age too (or younger). I'm 21 and am single (never a gf) and am kinda getting nervous that it is going to be much harder to get married a few years from now. So, just wondering how many of you didn't get married until your mid-twenties or older. Thx.

I was 22 & she 18, each of us never been married before. And that was 30 years ago.

26. He was 28.

I was 20, but I consider myself unusual, not the norm at all. My husband was 27 which I consider more common. It does seem that alot of Chrisitian people get married younger, but it does at least seem to me that often it's for the wrong reasons (sex without guilt, pressure from church or a religious family, other young church friends getting married, thinking that "traditional" [i.e. young brides]always means bestetc. but certainly not always ofcourse). In my own humble opinion, when you love someone so much that you want to be with them forever then that is a good reason to get married. It's not that you're 100% sure, but that you have faith enough in that person and in your love to stand by them always then I'd say you're good. It doesn't have to be the ONLY reason for marriage, but personally I feel it should be the MAIN reason.

I was one month shy of 27 when I got married.

 

[charligirl]

I was 32

(after age 18 ) I don't think it matters as long as both people are mature enough. Of course, having the Lord in your lives helps the most.

I was 18, and my hubby 19 when we got married. 25+ yrs later we are still married !
I was the ripe old age of 20 before I had my first child, though. We thought we had better wait until we were grown-ups for that !

I was 36 - one year after becoming a believer. Maybe God is just preparing you for the right person, or preparing the right person for you.

Bless you

i was 26 and my hubby was 30 when we got married.

Some people may not agree with this, but I believe it's true.

I was 23 when I started praying for a husband I had just come back to God after being back slidden. After a year I wondered why it was taking so long I heard God say, "your husband isn't saved yet". Fast forward 9 years and I met my husband and he got saved whilst we were friends - we married within a year.

The interesting thing is that my husband had been married before, when I asked God why it was taking so long was at the time my husband was going though his divorce from his first wife... God must have had plans for us way back then.

I know another story of a guy who started praying for his wife when he was 20... he met her when he was 40 and guess what... she was 20 herself.. so as he was asking god for his perfect wife, God got her made!!

God uses all sorts of circumstances, age gaps and unusual situations to work things for the good, we must be careful not to restrict Him .

Sorry to revive an old post, but this thread interests me. I agree with the quote above. Age doesn't matter.

I met my husband when I was 27 and he was 36; for both this is our first (and only) marriage. We married a year later. I wouldn't have minded to get married at a younger age, it's just that I waited for Mr. Right and that took a bit longer than expected. But I'm sure that we're made for each other.

Where i live, early twenties is considered very young to get married. Most here are in their late 20s or early 30s. Its just a cultural thing. I wouldnt worry about it.

I was almost 24 and my husband was 28 when we got married last December. We only knew each other 2 1/2 months before we got married, so if we would have dated over a year, I would have been over 25.

 

[RedheadedPrincess]

Don't worry about not being able to find someone. Focus on your relationship with God, and continuing to grow in Him. When the time is right, God will bring the right person into your life. I have also heard that people tend to do better when the get married in their late 20's. I think that is because they are more established in their career, and know themselves better.

I was 24 when I got married, but my husband was 32. He was definitely very ready to get married, but he is glad he married me!

Not everyone gets married before they are 25. Sometimes it seems as though "everyone" is getting married, but if you stop and look around, it's not everyone. There *are* non married people around too
