I was 20 when I got married - everyone said too young but still happily married 11 1/2 years later!

I hope and pray this will be the case with me too. I was barely 20 when I got married, and not even 21 when I had my first child. Everyone is still surprised we have made it this far. It will be 2 years in July of 2007.

I got married to my husband when I was 22. We have now been married for three years and just had our first child that is eight months old. It's been a little rocky for a few months, but I'm sure every couples had problems for a little while after having their first child.

I got married the day after I turned 21 and we just celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary in September. I really believe that it isn't all just age...it is emotional maturity. Let's face it, there are some people that aren't emotionally mature enough to handle marriage at the age of 35! I'm sure you know some people like that!

I got married when I was 23. We had been together for 2 years prior to that and it just felt right. There shouldn't be a age requirement for when you want to get married. If you love each other and you're happy than you should just jump the broom!!!
