Marriage, divorce, etc...

Jenson71 · 10-17-2005, 08:24 PM

Hi. I've fallen in love in the past few months. And I've been thinking about marriage. I also read beer me's thread about his ex-wife and I got to thinking about that.

So here's a poll.

At 17? Too young.

**Dartgod** · 10-17-2005, 08:28 PM

How old are you?

keg in kc · 10-17-2005, 08:28 PM

Married. Divorced. Never in love.

Nothing wrong with marriage, but I think too many people do it too young, without knowing what they're really getting into.

**Saulbadguy** · 10-17-2005, 08:29 PM

I'm en route to being married.

Jesus Christ you dipshit. You're 17.

Yeah, I remember watching a TV show where they showed a graphic of something like:

Ages 18-21, the divorce rate was higher than ages 22+

The Mrs. and I got married at 21. We were both mature, able to support ourselves financially, had finished our UG degrees, and had dated 4 years. It's worked out for us, but I wouldn't recommend getting married any younger. Even to marry at 21, you need to have all your ducks in a row. Also we waited to have kids until our late 20's.

I'm a big proponent of marriage, but it is nothing to rush into.

I chose "I'm a different option," because I'm not compatible with the human species.

Take your time.

It takes a long time to find the one that is truly worthy of a life long commitment, and it also takes a long time to reach a level when you're truly ready to make that commitment.

Wait until after college at the very least.

I'd probably say most people should wait until their late 20's or early 30's.

Jenson71 · 10-17-2005, 08:36 PM

I don't plan on getting married right now. I mean, shoot, that'd be stupid, I know that. I couldn't even support her. With my job right now, I couldn't even support myself.

But I'm thinking after college...

It's as much about supporting each othen than it is one supporting the other, and it gets more that way every year. Single job homes aren't as feasible anymore unless you're wealthy. It's an expensive world we live in.

If I was president emperor world dictator, i would never let men get married before 30.

For the really mature bright ones, maybe late 20s.

keg in kc · 10-17-2005, 08:43 PM

Women are no better than men. We're equally clueless before 30.
