If you are married

[BertieBotts]

How old were you when you felt ready for marriage? And how long had you been with your partner?

Just curious

As for how did I know I was ready - I just wanted to be with her all the time, so I thought the best thing was to marry her. Fortunately she agreed!

I was 35 DH was 34. We'd been together 2 years.

married at 30 (10 years ago) together 17 years, engaged within 2 months of meeting (long engagement). He was THE one, still is 4 kids later (expecting #5 this year).

We are a great team, lots of mutal respect and we love each other (puke!)

23, got married after 9 years together and now been married for 4.5 years and still very happy

21. Six weeks. Still together ten years, two DCs and two mc later.

Should say, that's six weeks from the first words we spoke to one another.

Engaged at 25
Married at 27
Together now for 9 years! :)

met when I was 20, engaged six weeks later and married at 22.

still happily together 25 years and 2DDs later.

35 - but I'd been married 9 years at that stage. I knew he was a good man and that if I said NO I would be making a bad decision but I was not ready to get married. I spent my weeding day & honeymoon thinking WHAT HAVE I DONE?? but you know, 15 years on I believe I made the right decision and I have not got a reputation for doing that generally! We had been together 5 years before we got married. So 20 years this year. WOW! I don't feel old enough for that!!

Married for nine years in October, been together 11 years come July, got engaged after a week,,,
Got married a little over a year later,
Our children are nine and four.5

Forgot to mention I'm 30 in August...,
And met at the age of 18...

Met when I was 23, he was 33.
Engaged after 8 years
Married 9 months
Together 10 years at the end of this month!
