Spot on

Married at 20 soared to the heavens and augered in 15 years later with two daughters. Went feral for awhile and settled down again. Walked away from this crash site also. After deep soul searching and lengthy analyzation of the problem it was determined the most likely cause was a damaged male chromosome. Solution: dating with a 200 mile rule. Works well don’t muck it up.

I got married at 22 and then informed her we are starting a business and it has worked out awesome. Thankfully and very blessed. Yall see too many bad deals.

^^^^^^^

He was probably looking for tang, easy to sign up a dating site and do it from home than go out to bars

The only way marriage truly works is if you are on the same page regarding faith, finances and politics.

For me it took a conservative Christian woman with her birth parents still married, who was OK driving a beater, and who was willing to work....contributing to saving and paying off the mortgage and tithing vs keeping up with the Jones next door. Married 25 years and would do it again.

22 is not too young if if they are on the same page in the simple ways I described and have strong/similar family backgrounds. And as I read from some of you guys you have to be a 100% humble and willing to change somewhat. Nothing wrong with that. I am definitely not the same selfish jerk I was 25 years ago thanks to my wife.

22 too young - somes gotta be kidding me. The right one is the right one and you never know if she is the only right one or if a better right one will follow along later. Last of the chilruns left HS when I was 50 and that was to our benefit and only provided cuz we got hitched at 22 and 21 respectively. Gave Wifeypoo and I the opportunity to realize why we originally got married. Wouldn't trade it for nothing. Kids waited longer than we did and just now getting to benefit from lil' Hudbone and Will.

I have a feeling if we could get some ladys to respond here the answers would look a bit different

[quote=BDB Most men that merry young will either cheat on the wife or wish they could. Sadly its the man who fails that question most of the time. [/quote]

This is simply not true in todays time. Women actually cheat just as much, if not more frequently than men - they're just better about lying/keeping things hidden. It is MUCH easier for women to cheat than it is a man.

Sad reality of the state of the world is that infidelity is at an all time high.

No joke on that!

I have noticed now of days being really fat and overwieight females get attention as well. Crazy if you ask me

I married at 23 and it has lasted 33 years so far. It's just not that hard.

Listen to Hudbone. I married at 20 and she was 20. Still married at 73, and happily. Survival of the marriage is due to love, respect, and teamwork. If the couple isn’t working and focused on a common goal, you’ll grow apart.

I laughingly tell folks that I’ve been married for 53 years, and it’s been 3 of the best years of my life. Truthfully, it’s way way more than 3 good years, but it isn’t 53 good years either. We’ve had our fights. Just don’t say anything during those fights that will scar your relationship. Some words can’t be taken back, forgotten, or forgiven. Never say them.

Dang
I cannot relate to that because if I could afford to buy a place as remote as you want to get it my wife would be the one pushing to get her house built in the middle of it.

That said, another compromise sounds like it is in your future. Build a small house and you stay there most of the week and come home a couple days a week.

My parents were 18 and 20 when they were married. They celebrated 39 years a week ago.

I've only been married going on 10 years in August, but like Choctaw, I just don't feel like its been that hard. If something throws a wrench in the works it would be a complete and utter blind side.

Sure there have been disagreements and arguments in both the marriages, but nothing significant.

Something that I believe is a big problem in todays marriage is that many are founded too heavily in physical attraction with not enough merit given to compatibility, getting along etc.

26 married and 34 together. We dated 8 years and married at 27 & 24 years old.
Would I do it again? with her the answer is without a doubt. With anyone else.......prolly not. I don't have the patience, time, or energy to break another one in!

Ive got two buddies that dated for 8-10 years before they got married. Im not sure about one of them, but the other his now wife would have murdered him in his sleep if he hadnt married her lol

ROFLMAO

Yeah, my parents made it 13 years dating before marriage.
Sadly mom passed only about 6 months after their 50th anniversary.
I've never seen another marriage like theirs to be honest. I was 47 when mom passed and can honestly say I never saw them have a cross word between themselves and never even elevated their voices towards one another. Truly amazing love they shared for just over 63 years total.

Working through the extreme lows in a relationship only serves to magnify the ecstasy of the highs. When two actually become one, the force can become formidable.

You ain't wreog.

May the force be with you!

Well…somebody had to say it…

Maybe thats it, Im pretty sure my parents watched a powerful lot of starwars.

Anybody separated and still live in the same house?

When the wife was married once before, shoots firearms better than you do, and says "I'll never put up with fooling around again", you listen carefully! Only half joking here!!

Bishes’ be hoes
