Marriage

Mason · Jul 23, 2014

When is the right time to get married? I have many friends who are around the age of twenty, give or take a few years, and they are starting to propose to their girlfriends. I can see why they would propose if they love them, but I think that they are missing out on a lot of the adventures of life. These guys still flirt with random girls at clubs. Your twenties are so posed to be fun in my opinion. What do you guys think? Should they be waiting?

It is really up to them, what do you think Mason?
What is a good age to get married?
I really think as long as they love each other and can work it all out, go for it.
If they can't handle it they should probably wait a while.

Youre still young and dumb at 20, I wouldn't.

Tbh I don't think they can handle it, they still go to strip clubs every weekend and flirt with girls that their girlfriends know.

That is a horrible idea, they need to be ready to settle down before they should propose.

When ever you fall in love.

Well it all depends on your financial situation and the person I think. And you can still have plenty of fun when you're in a relationship. I know I will be with the same person I'm with now when I'm in my twenties and I'm only 18. I'm not worried about missing out on anything as idk how I could possibly not have fun just because I'm not single.

I mean but as @'mason' stated, they are going to strip clubs and flirting with other people, that aren't that significant other.
Wouldn't that make you mad if that was happening to you?

Yeah I can see your point, Im not saying you cant have fun when your not single. I have a girlfriend and it is almost the same. I just think they are moving to quick. One of my friends has only know his girl for 2 years and they are married, they are doing just fine. Some of the others are arguing a lot though.

That's the problem with relationships though, what works for one couple doesn't always work for another, because of all of our differences.

Well yeah 2 years is definitely too early.

Sorry for the input.
I'm gonna stay out of it and you guys discuss.

Radical · Jul 23, 2014

I would say mid to late 20s or early 30s.

Yeah, I do not see the purpose of being married after two years. If anything they should have moved in together then. My parents didn't get married until they dated for 5 years, people are rushing it a bit now.

Yeah my parents were dating for 6 years I think. I think moving in at any point after 6 months isn't a bad idea if you're both over 18 and like attending the same college or something, that's what I'll be doing next year when I'm 19.

Good for you man. Hopefully all goes well. Grats on Super Staff btw.

I am sure you will know the right time when it comes to that point. There is set age to get married. It varies greatly.

When you fall in love with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, then and only then, should you get married. Some hold off marriage until their late twenties, thirties or even—in rare more instances—their forties.

The ones that rush it are more likely to get a divorce. It's the cold-hearted truth.

Radical · Jul 23, 2014

Also I would like to add later marriages are more successful Late 30s 40s and even 50s. From my experience I have seen them more happier.

Yeah. I agree with you. They are more focused on the relationship at that age and they are more mature.

From semi-personal (family) experience, almost ALL marriages that start at 19, 20, 21, etc end up being less happy than much older couples marrying at age ~35.

Although it might seem a little late, you want to be single for a while! Not that you get trapped in marriage, but if you marry so young it's kind-of inevitable that you'll want to be single again, just to be single. Get all the single shit out of your system and then marry!

Though there are always exceptions, I know plenty of people who married right out of college and are happily married with kids 25 years later.

Another thing- at younger ages physical attraction is the #1 draw to most relationships and the older you get it just becomes about how much you like the person - makes sense that couples who met older and didn't just focus by looks by being picked up at a bar actually LIKE eachother for who they are and live much happier lives due to the fact that they enjoy the social company of their partner
