[quote=Anonymous]How old were you when you got married?  24
How old was your spouse? 24
How old are you now? 27 and 27
Are you still married? If not, how long were you married?  Yes, coming on three years
Do you feel you were mature enough for marriage at that age? Of course--why would I have gotten married otherwise?
Do you regret marrying at that age? Not so far. Check back with me in a decade.
What did your family think about it? They were supportive, although no one expected me to get married so young, because I was one of the first to get married amongst my high school and college cohort (I grew up in high SES suburb of a major city). DH's family didn't find it weird at all because he grew up in a very religious family in the rural South.

We just felt like it was the right thing to do at the time and went for it, regardless of what other people's expectations were. It was good for logistical reasons (he could get on my health insurance when he was paid through a grant that didn't provide health insurance). It also gave us more weight navigating two careers than if we had been boyfriend and girlfriend when relocating for work. We don't have kids yet (although I lurk on this site because we are thinking about it--not ready to take the plunge yet) and feel like there is no rush.[/quote]
