How old were you when you got married for the first time?
"For many people, regardless of sexual orientation, a wedding is no longer the first step into adulthood that it once was, but, often, the last. It is a celebration of all that two people have already done, unlike a traditional wedding, which was a celebration of what a couple would do in the future.
Consistent with this shift in meaning, different-sex couples, like the many of the same-sex couples who have married recently, are starting their marriages later in their lives. According to the Census Bureau, the median age at first marriage—the age at which half of all marriages occur—was 27.4 for women and 29.5 for men in 2017. That’s higher than at any time since the Census began keeping records in 1890."

I was 24. I realize now I was too young. I would advise anyone to acomplish some goals and experience some failures first. Get to know who you are and what is best for you.

I was 19, in the Army, got married in Leominster, Mass by a JP that was also an undertaker. He was 28, the marriage lasted less than 2 years. When I married the father of my children I was 25.

About 32 I think and naively I thought it would save our relationship which is ridiculous and I don't believe in marriage.

43 and still single. I can't even get a date. Too shy and when I do force myself to speak to a lady I like I'm every kind of irritating awkward. A familiar story.

I was 40. The marriage gave us 3 wonderful children but ended in divorce after 10 years.

Bad mistake except for my daughter. She didn't cry when she was born - she growled.
Only one thing we agreed on: When the vicar came round to arrange the date for her christening we both agreed that we would wait until she could make her own mind up. My daughter is a fervent atheist.
