[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.

I met my DH at 19 (he was 25) and we married when I was 23 (he was 29).  Both of us have college degrees, and we had 4 children (including twins) by the time I was 30 (and he was 36).

It's turned out amazingly well, but I attribute most of that to luck and also external factors such as a supportive, close-knit family, as well as ample income from our own business.  I'm very satisfied.  We're still each other's best friends today, 30 years after meeting.  We've paid off our home, put 3 kids through college, traveled, stayed close to family, nourished independent friendships, and saved up a healthy retirement.  Our youngest daughter starts her college sophomore year next month.

Everything isn't rosy, since I was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer 2 years ago, though I'm still here and on meds.  In retrospect, I'm particularly glad I married and had children young, since I became sick at age 45.  FWIW, my mom married at age 20 and just celebrated 58 years of marriage, and my sister married at age 19 and celebrates her 36th wedding anniversary next month.  Their successful relationships definitely predisposed me to early wedlock.  My 24-year-old daughter has been with her boyfriend for a year, and I believe she'll get engaged soon.

Congrats on your impending wedding!
