[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are a woman who met and married your husbands in your early to mid twenties, how did it turn out?
Are you satisfied with your choice? Why or why not?
Where you also able to finish having a kid or two by early thirties? How did that work out?

I ask because as a soon to be wed 30something, I sometimes wish I was married earlier so I could have started baby making early and be done with it earlier.

Married at age 23. Recently celebrated our 20 year anniversary. Still happily married. I was 38 when I had my last child (who was a wonderful surprise---otherwise I would have been 36 when I had my second to last).

I think there are pros and cons to marrying young or waiting until you are older.

So glad I found my DH when we were both young and weren't set in our ways. I have lots of friends who are still dating and they report that older bachelors tend to be very set in their ways and really aren't capable of compromise or real intimacy. They seem to prefer living alone and having space despite saying they want to settle down. (These guys are in their 40s/50s.)

Glad DH and I have been together for 25 years. We basically feel like we've always been together. Glad he met/knew my grandparents before they died (and vice versa). Feel like we have a common history.

We waited a little while before having kids. I was 28 when we had our first. Glad we waited and spent time traveling and having fun. Glad we started early enough so we could have a big family. Glad we were financially stable and ready to start a family.

My friends started having kids when they were slightly younger and they stopped at two, so they will be empty nesters long before we will. I'm a little envious. They have big plans to travel. It would be nice to travel with your spouse while you're still young.
