At what age did you get married?

[ChronoTrigger]

I'm 28 and still single, and depressed because I haven't found anyone yet.

[Guest]

My brother married at 28 and she was so very worth waiting for. Our cousin and his wife were 38 by the time they found each other and got married. They are so great together, and had 3 beautiful little girls.

Then I guess I shouldn't worry about when, but who I marry, and trust things will happen in the Lord's time.

27. Still did not feel too old.

Easier said than done, I know. :) In the meantime, figure out what you love to do and do a lot of it. Grow in every way you can. Travel. Enjoy life. Date a lot and have fun. Life isn't only about finding love.

Thanks for the advice! What I'm also trying to do is save money. I want to be able to support a family.

I wanted to wait 'til I grew up, but at 31 realized that wasn't going to happen...so took the plunge. :-)

27 and my wife was 29...yes she robbed the cradle.

Or you robbed the grave....

[Vort]

Speaking of cradle-robbing, my 25-year-old self married 20-year-old Sister Vort. I have always maintained it's easier to marry 'em young and raise 'em yourself. That way, you know it's done right.

My daughter was 35 when she married. Her husband was 27. She basically had to travel half way around the world to find her man--South Korea.

Edit: I was 26 years old, my husband 28.

Those are the ages DH and I were, but I can't say who raised whom.

One of those times you don't want to be quoted out of context

24 FIrst time, 35 second time. But I have a friend that is 41 and just got married for the first time last week. And another friend that was 30 and felt like she was never going to get married, then was married just a few months later....it could happen fast.

I was 26, Mr. Anatess was 21. You are so right about that...

[skippy740]

Married at 25, divorced at 34.

So, here's some encouragement that it could be worse?

[Dravin]

Married at 27.

Either that or she is teaching an old dog new tricks.

I was an old lady when I married my much younger man. It's tough being single in this church past a certain age. I found that I was happiest when I wasn't stressing about being single and alone and instead focusing on serving others and improving myself.

I didn't think I'd get married in this life....I had hope, but the reality was I wasn't likely to get married. I continued to try to be attractive (not just looks but in character and personality) not just to find a man, but because I knew that the Lord wanted me to be the best I can be. I was surprised when I started dating my now husband; not only that I had finally found someone to date, but that I was attracted to such a younger man.

So, I can say with experience...don't stress about being single. Work on yourself and serve others. And keep an open mind to dating people--don't rule out people automatically. You might be surprised at the gems you'll find even if you thought they weren't "your type."

[prisonchaplain]

My wife was 7 years younger than me [edit: and still is]. Nevertheless, she's done a fine job of raising me. :-)

[ChronoTrigger]

I need to try a better singles ward. haha

Good idea to save money @ what ever stage of life that any of us are in. I know it's hard not to be married at a certain age, believe me I know I'm old and have never been married and it stinks, but I have to put my trust and faith in God. Like a previous poster said, enjoy life, do things u like, travel, what ever u like get involved in, stay active in the church. And in time it will happen.

Well I do hope to be sealed one day, and want to make sure I'm not getting married just because I want a sealing.
