    Hello all,

    I started to notice more and more people mentioning their wive (or being married), since the average age here is something around the 20 years:

    At what age did you get married?

    Especially because i am getting the feeling people are plunging in younger and younger. Maybe I'm wrong... Just started wondering about this...

    Im 32 and not married, in fact i've never felt the need to, and don't feel the need for kids either.
    Must admit that has cost me a couple of girlfriends in the past.

    Married for 7 years. Was 26 at the time, and I'd been living with the (then) future Mrs GOO for 4 years.

    One of my friend got married at 16.

    Yes, 16.

    Consent had to be given by her father (guy who she was marrying was over 18), and the ceremony was performed in their backyard by a Justice of the Peace.

    Perfectly legal binding contract in Australia...

    Not my thing...I'll happily spend my life with one person but I don't feel the need to 'prove' that I love them in that manner.

    Same thing here, we had a discussion about this the other night. One friend is happily married now for 2 years, if only it's the 4th time she's married. (She's 38.) I mean, why bother? Again? Statistics are trying to tell you something here, or not? This friend of my gf was quite suprised to hear her saying she isn't to bothered with it. Turns out my gf spent her live looking for the prince etc. etc. Now she "found" me and the need for the married thing is gone?

    Happy to hear it though, guess it shows i'm a trustworhty person as i am away from home on average 6 months a year... (Come to think of it: maybe she's not, and she doesn't want to go through the hassle when found out??? (JOKE!!!!))

    PS. 21 sounds scary, let alone 16???? Can't help thinking a curiousity will kick in some time or the other.

    I have no intentions of getting married. At the moment i'm not bothered about kids either. If I did ever decide to get married I'd want to have been with the person for a fair number of years before committing to anything.

    I disagree! My wedding was my public commitment to my wife before God, family and friends of the private commitment we had already made, 'to love cherish and support one another till death do us part'. I loved planning the whole thing with my wife, even as far as what I thought was important in the vows. But hey that may just be me :D
