[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We married at 25 and our last child is graduating from college this year. Our oldest married at 25 and a year later they’re buying a house in NoVA. They both make decent money and have no intention of having kids yet so they’re saving and investing their extra income.[/quote] What do people qualify as a young marriage? I don’t see 25 as a young marriage, my mother was married at 21 and my grandmother was 19. I see a young marriage as 22 and below. [/quote] It's youngish compared to the current median marriage ages (29 for men and 28 for women). I don't know the generation of your mother or grandmother, but the median marriage age for women in the 1950s was 19 and for men 21. Admittedly, there is probably a floor of maybe 18 that existed at least in the 20th century.[/quote]
