That's what DATING is for and you should usually date for longer than 2 months.

There are always exceptions to any general rule. You are clearly in the minority however. Most of the people that I know who were married at that age are now divorced.
I got married when I was 21 and my DH was 26 so you would think that I would disagree with you but I won't. Even though we are happy and it has worked for us there were alot of mistakes on my part that probably would not have happened had I grown up a little.
What is a "DH?" Designated Hitter?
Darling, Dear, Darn, Damn Husband......whatever mood I'm in.
But I would do it all over again. Now....10 years from now when my oldest is 21 I will be telling her she is waaaay too young.
Dunno, Tlong. I know a lot of people who got married way under 30 and still are. In reality, I know very few people that have been divorced.
I know their are exceptions, but I think people get divorced because it's easier than trying to work it out.
But then again, my husband and I dated for 5 years before we got married.
Edited to add: I have nothing against divorce and wasn't implying that anyone who has been divorced didn't try and work it out.
The divorce rate regardless of age is over 50% in this country. I believe the rate is even higher when just considering couples that marry in their early 20's although I haven't read any statistics to back it up. I don't blame people for getting divorced...you have to have some level of happiness in your life and these people clearly aren't happy. It can suck for the children though.
Oh, I believe you.
My sister finally filed after 4 years of separation. My mom and I think it will be nasty.
Geez. How can you be in a state of seperation for 4 years!
Thank you for the clarification on "DH". I always wondered about that. I have always seen people refer to their husbands that ways on the message boards and found it kind of funny because that is the same thing my husband and I call my ex-husband. Although it stands for something entirely different in his case.
My husband and I only dated for 6 months before we got married and will celebrate our 8th anniversary in seven weeks. But we were also 35 & 36 when when we met. So I think that made a big difference ad we had both been married before and knew what we wanted in a partner. Neither of us were looking for a relationship so soon after our divorces but after we met we both knew there was no other alternative but to be together forever and we both believed in committment. We fell hard and are still very much in love to this day. It worked for us and I feel blessed. Not everyone is that lucky.

I have one, too.
Actually, I read something a few years ago that people who get married in their early 20s and are only a couple years apart in age have the best chances of staying married.
Why is it, do you think Divorce rates are so high in this country? I'm not married, nor have I been, or am close to being, so I'm very curious about this...
I could definetly see myself getting married before 30. It's just knowing that you're willing to make the comitment and not question it everytime something upsets you. If I broke up with Jess everytime she annoyed me or she broke up with me everytime I forgot something or annoyed her, we'd be seeing different people right now.
But generally Tlong, I think you're probably right.
This is pure speculation on my part because I have never been married, but I did grow up around one of the best models of marriage I've ever seen - my grandparents who were married for 51 years before my grandfather died - and they always said that you just have to be patient and not expect everything to be easy. I would think a lot of it has to do with the general American culture revolving around instant gratification.
Those 2 I have look just like her....and are about to become outside-kitties.
I should post the one I have of Momma Cat (officially now Mother Jones) mid-air on her way to where she is in that picture - perched on the back of an office chair.Those 2 I have look just like her....and are about to become outside-kitties.
She's calmed down quite a bit though since she's gotten spayed, and doesn't make nearly as much noise. I'll be happy when I can put her outside occasionally though.
I'm going to have to start putting them out at times.....#1. they can fill a litter box in less than 3 hours and #2. I have 5 more babies outside to keep them company.
Well... men haven't changed in the last 100 years... who usually files for divorce first?
