How\'s it working out for you, or what do you think? My friends are slowly getting married off.
I get a call yesterday from one friend who says they are now separated (probably temporarily). Another friend moved off to Kansas because his wife\'s family lives there and she doesn\'t want to move. Another friend has a good marriage, and are in the area BUT the dood can never hang out lol. We used to be work out buddies but now it\'s hard to get a return call from him. :\\
Well just curious. Ideally I\'d like to stay a bachelor until I dunno, late 20s or even somewhere in the 30s. How bout y\'all?
-
ask me this a year ago and I would have said eith 35+ or never, but I\'ve since really changed the person I am. I\'m not the player I used to be, and would love to get married if I met the right person. However, I think that you should be financially stable before you concider marriage, age is less of an issue than stability to me.
-
Maybe Samwise can lend a helping hand for you there theomen. J/k.
-
Late 20\'s
-
Whenever the hell you can afford it, and if you both REALLY enjoy being with each other.
-
I have no real desire to get married and I\'m 31. When my parents were my age, they were married 2 years, and were already well on their way to making me.
These times, they are a changin\', less and less people from the UK are tying the knot each year.
And anyway, if there is true love between 2 people, why should they need a piece of paper to prove it?
So swiffy, the answer is no.
:D
-
Marriage is going to fade away in the future. More than half of all marriages end in divorce.
-
thats cause people mistake loathing for love
and I say get married when you can afford too.
-
I\'ve been married 10 months. It\'s been great so far. Then again, we\'ve been going steady for 10 years before we got married. No, we never lived together until now, of course.
-
in the words of the great Chris Rock..."married and BORED or single and LONELY!" :D j/k...i\'ve been married over two yrs now...this is my 2nd one...i can truly say wait till you\'re finacially stable as in my first marriage i was just 19!...after my first marriage i was just dating alot of women, or should i say f**king alot of women...but believe or not that gets old after awhile and soon you just wanna chill with someone special...
i\'m not sayin you\'re gonna want to get married, you\'re just gonna want to have a gf..but you can\'t go lookin for it..you gotta let it come to you...that\'s how i found my current wifey..s**t she\'s the best thing that ever happened for me...but if i had to choose i\'d say late 20\'s early 30\'s..use the 20\'s to have fun and party and decide where you want to go in life, by 28 or 29 you should definitely know where you want to be...
-
I was 26. Done with the whole club thing. Ready to have a kid. Done.
It was weird. I use to hate being around kids. Then just all the sudden like a light switch went off and I was ready. You just know.

the male biological clock

I\'ll be 27 in a month and am planning on asking my lady to marry me very soon... Got the ring and everything.
I\'m just kinda being a wuss about it,

as in planned for
me = accident
-
I\'m adopted so... Obviously accident.

Funny story:
My parents are really conservative Christians that push abstinence. I was born in 1979. I always thought my folks planned me well in advance after marriage being how strict my military father is and everything. Well when I was in high school I found an old wedding album that said their names, married September 1980. I was a lil shocked at first but can sorta see them getting married because of me. Looks like my conservative dad couldn\'t keep it in his pants.
Oh and at age 10 I found out I had an older half brother that didn\'t come from my current father. My mom just put me on the phone with him and said, "Here, talk to your brother." wtf

lol that is funny
i\'ve got siblings too that i\'ve never met, there from my father but i\'ve never even seen a picture of him so I don\'t know what he looks like which is sorta a piss off cause i\'m more curious about what my brother and sister look like.
My mom had me at 16 so ya...I was very much an accident.

HOLY FREAKING COW THX!!!
Our lives are so similar.
I was born October 1970. I always thought I was a honeymoon baby because my parents were married on January of 11th of the same year.
A few years ago I was scanning old photos and there was a photo of a baby with my mother\'s maiden name. A picture I always thought was me, but why in the hell was my mom\'s maiden name on there?
I asked my mom via email about it and sent her the pic.
She sent me a VERY LONG drawn out letter about how she always wanted to tell me, but never knew how blah blah blah.
Apparently they were married in January of 1971, not 1970 and I was there.
They actually celebrated their 25th anniversary with me a year earlier than they were supposed to.
Sad really, but I\'ll tell you my parents stayed together through some rough times.
So they have that going for them.
Which is nice.

-
Is it really such a big deal anymore? I mean, does anyone care if there parents had you before or after their marriage? I know I wouldn\'t.
-
I plan on waiting at least one year when I\'m out of college.
-
Been married for 11 year nad with my wife I dunno 15 or 16. Have had some great sex over thos years and wouldnt have had it anyother way. Kids are cool too. If i could just get my wife to get a girlfriend I would stay married forever.

dude, that\'s when you gotta bang anything that moves! for like 10 years, until you\'re an alcoholic, then find some bar slut to marry.
-

As much as I really want to do that... I can be a bitch for relationships, so my gut is telling me about 2 or 3 years out of college (so about 23 or 24) and I\'ll be married. I\'m going to try and do the crazy random sex gig, but I\'m not gonna let anything real good pass me by.
-
swif are you sure your not a chick posting as an unatrictive redhead little boy?
-
unatrictive?????
is there a spellcheck feature anywhere?? ;)
-
no theres not a quite frankly if there was one I wouldnt use it. The fact of the matter is I barely care the words are even close to being spelled correctly I like to post here but I dont have the time to give a rats ass about the anal retentive retards who think my grammer should be that as if I was writing an essay.
You and Bozo should think about mateing.....

I kind of wish I was 17 again. I was old enough to have my license but didn\'t have to worry about statutary rape and things like that. I also enjoyed hooking up with girls and stuff like that. Now I\'m 18, growing up, have a girlfriend and going through a change. I do like this change since I really like the girl I\'m with and in NJ, you can have more than one person in your car :) I can\'t wait to go off to college but I\'m afraid I\'m gonna lose contact with all my high school buddies. A lot of them, I\'ve been with since elementary school. I dont\' want to lose them and that\'s why I want to stay 17 forever. But, things gotta change. I have all their screen names and a lot of their email addresses.
I can\'t wait for college. That is gonna be fun to be with new people and stuff. I can\'t wait to get married but I probably will be in my mid 20s before I do. I want to make sure the person I want to marry is the one so I\'m not one of the 50% that end in divorce.

So they had you and then quickly became vocal advocates for abstinence?
Eh.
Me, I\'ll get married to the next girl that comes along, if she\'s right for me. I\'m ready to get tied down. A couple years of dating is the prerequisite though, I think.

Amen....(thats all I need to say)

Never.
Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Eh?!?!? Think about it guy\'s. Just move in with them, that way when it goes downhill, you pack your stuff and leave. No messy divorce.

Marriage #1: 21 and an accident. Had to drop out of school and get a crappy job. Lived 5 minutes from my super controlling in laws... I think its pretty evident that the marriage wouldn\'t last and it didn\'t. Divorced at 24 with 1 son.
Marriage #2: 32 and planned. Had graduated college, but still hadn\'t started my "career". Finally got a good job, asked my wife to marry me and we moved from DFW to Georgia and were married shortly after we moved. Eleven months later we had my 2nd son. This marriage is working out much better than my first - I am much more mature and willing to take responsibility as opposed to when I was in my early 20\'s when I felt I was robbed out of so many things. I have a good job so money is not as big of a deal as it was in my first marriage. Instead of despair (which is all we saw in my first marriage) we have hope and we have goals we want to achieve. Added bonus - inlaws live 800 miles away!
No marriage is perfect and we do have our arguements - getting through the first 2 years was what I considered the most difficult (life adjustments), but things have settled down and I am honestly enjoying it. Looking at my ex wife now and looking at my current wife - I have to just shake my head. My wife has her faults, but she is 10 times the woman and mother my first wife was. I also look at my first son who is quite frankly lacking discipline in any shape or form and my first wife\'s answer to this is "roleplaying" (see the movie What About Bob for an example) and medication!?!? She hasn\'t grown or changed significantly since we were married, where I have grown from an irresponsible, thought I knew it all kid - into a responsible know I know it all adult. ;)

So you have a cow eh? ;) j/k
Also do you not know that if you live with your girlfriend long enough - you have a common law marriage in most states.

Marriage is awesome, i am on my third time, but i am not the easiest person to live with.I think thats why it took me so long, to find the woman of my dreams, she is my best friend and stands right beside me in good or bad.Turns out she was my highschool sweetheart, just never realized it till years later.Now we are inseparable.

I actually think that Evis got the order wrong ;)
-
I was wanted. My Parents actually married, because my mother wanted to have a child.
-
Probably going to get married in my late 20\'s. Kids in very early 30s and thats about that. At least i think thats a healthy time to do it.
As for planned and unplanned siblings:
Older sister - unplanned (i think)
Me - Planned
Younger sister - unplanned
Sounds like i made it this way but thats just what i was told.

:crying: They\'re probably lying.

Me- probably an accident
Lil\' Brother- more than probably an accident
Lil\' Sister- planned
And I don\'t know whats up but my mom has been married like 5 times and shes engaged now
-

That\'s called marrying without thinking first.

I\'m not sure if I was planned or not or if my bro was planned or not. My mom never said anything so I don\'t know.

That\'s probably gonna happen to me. I\'m probably gonna marry a chick I know in high school.
