[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who married in your 20s and have been married--to the same person--for at least ten years, how's it going?  What's good, not so good?  Would you do it again, knowing what you know now?[/quote]

Marrying in your 20's is the norm.  Why would this be something to ask about?  It's like asking "Driving at 16, How'd that work out?"[/quote]

Actually, I'd say that marrying at 30 is now the norm for affluent, college-educated women.  My source:  the NYT wedding announcements, my kids' friends and my friends' kids (super-scientific, I know).   That said, I agree with those who note that there's a big difference between marrying in late 20s and early 20s.  I was married in late 20s and have been married (mostly quite happily for 30 years).  Anecdotally (again), I can remember quite a few of those  right after college marriages falling apart -- they just seemed like life rafts going under, whereas couples marrying even a few years later have mostly hung in there.  I think those first few years after college are a period of real emotional growth for most people, so a late 20s marriage will stand a better change of surviving.  [/quote]
