I did want to get married between 25-30 but it looks like for me that will be 30 plus now if ever. Funny how things change but in all honesty I'm beginning to be fine with that now. I really wasn't ready to be married before 30 anyway. I had too much self work to do.

Well, if that's the case I"m WELL beyond the average age. I'm almost 31 and I don't even have a boyfriend ha ha. Oh well, what are averages anyway. I have a degree and I was smart enough not to marry the wrong guy at that age. I vow never to have to go through divorce, marriage is just too much of a serious thing for me. I've even contemplated never getting married even though I used to want it so badly. I just don't see myself settling and that's why I'm still single. I've been in several r'ships but in all of them something didn't sit right and I was unhappy overall. I couldn't fake happiness and not be true to myself because society pushes marriage and coupledom so much. At least when I do get married I know I"ll be with the right one and happy because i waited.

I "did" get married at 19. Yes, very young, but we were high school sweethearts and he was four years older than me.

That is young, I know. We have two children and divorced after 23 years. So, I was married practically all of my adult life, but he and I wouldn't have created two fantastic, responsible adults if I had not gotten married to the man I did when I did. He and I were good parents together and the four of us are a pretty cool family, even though are lives are separate now.

I wouldn't change a thing. Gods plan (the kids are His plan...not the divorce).:)
