I used to work with a Romanian girl who got married at 14. We were both 16 at the time. I thought it was mad, but they both seemed happy.

Ireland has one of the highest average ages for first time marriage in the world.

While this is generally a good thing it does have at least one negative side effect namely legions of women in their thirties obsessed/neurotic about getting hitched.

Married when your young what?

Have you ever watched big fat Gypsy weddings? They reckon some the chicks are considered to be on the shelf at 18.

In our defence, (and at the risk of sounding like a scene from My Cousin Vinny) any pregnancy over the age of 35 is classed as a geriatric pregnancy- so it's understandable that many women over 30 would like to settle down or whatever.

Now having said that, there's no need to turn into a total crazy... but men (for the most part) definitely don't have the same pressure on them as women where reproduction is concerned.

I got married at 20 and was sure it would be forever. Separated at 26.

Young and foolish but have my 2 amazing sons to compensate for that mess.

AnonoBoy

My cousin married a girl called Su Gyun Young.

Maybe they're related.

A girl in my class got married at 18 - that was 15 years ago. Don't know whether they're still together. Maybe they are, but I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't, as you change a lot in the years that follow, despite thinking you've done all your growing up.

Couldn't agree with this more.

And in some cases, it takes a while to see what other people were talking about..

That means when The Green Mile came out she was 4 years old!?!

Caraville

So he was a creepy weirdo in the Green Mile and a creepy weirdo in real life? That's some good casting!

An aunt of mine got married on her 20th birthday, she celebrated her 40th wedding anniversary this year.

Some people marry when they are young & stay very happily together for the rest of their lives. Others stay miserable, or break up.

Some people marry when they are older & stay very happily together for the rest of their lives. Others stay miserable, or break up.

The only thing to be learned from this is that people get married at different ages & that some will stay very happily together for the rest of their lives while others will stay miserable, or break up.

And some people never marry at all.

I agree with you, though I just think that a lot of younger couples don't know their arse from their elbows yet, and don't have the maturity / foresight to see what they're getting into.

As Dudess rightly pointed out, in your teens and twenties you're still learning about yourself and your needs and goals etc., those can radically change over time.

god I'm 32 and I'm still not old enough to be married...

There's no point getting married at any age.

Its only a way for someone to steal your money!

I was actually going to jump on the defensive with you there, but I will admit the law is a bitch. Another thread I was following there was the one where the OP had no kids or anything like that, but his ex was still able to go after him for spousal maintenance. I think thats very wrong, each should go their own way in that case, and leave it at that.

My gran got married at 16. My grandad was a bit older. They were together until he died 11 years ago just after their 50th wedding anniversary.

Let's be honest here.

I've heard of people marrying at 15,16, 17 and 18, years of age I think under 18 requires parental consent though. and the younger ages are more common in the travelling community and a years ago, marriage age is definately much higher and i prefer that , That said I'm 27 and really worried that i'm not in a relationship as i'd like to get married in my early thirties

I got married when I was 25, been with my husband since I was 18 and he was 22. Ten years together and we are still as happy as the day we met.

Reported for cutting through the fount of blithe generalisation with actual real life experience.

Please don't do it again.

I don't know how they fall out of the law of statutory rape. Half of them are kids.

your post indicates that at each choice each outcome has equal probability

I would postulate that they do not have equal likelihood -and that marrying young(say around 20) your chances of a failed marriage are a large factor higher than marrying later (say around 30)

This post is too sensible and intelligent to emanate from somebody who wears a bandana?

Quite true but, in my experience, if you go north of the boarder that drops dramatically. I've a few friends from Armagh and Belfast and they're the only single ones in their group of friends from back home. About 7 or 8 of the other lads are all either married or engaged with the eldest being 25. Several have kids and a couple are in the midst of building their own house. It stems back to the cost of living in a lot of ways I reckon. People cannot afford to marry/have kids here until they're earning enough. Up north, you can buy a nice new 3 bedroom semi detached house in a quite area that's 30 minutes outside Belfast city centre for about £110k.

Brother married at 21, he's 41 now, still happily married.

I got hitched a few months over 25. Even that raises eyebrows with some people.

Seloth

A girl I know is 19 and getting married :eek:

My friends parents were 18/19 at the time and are still together happy out

Still though anywhere below 25-26 seems,well quite young.

Met an American while traveling and her friends 21 and getting married.I was shocked!

I was 22 and wish I hadn't.
