<p>FIMathMom, how wonderful for you! Although I’d dare say that you may not be working for a paycheck, but I’ll bet you’ll be working plenty hard as a grandma!</p>

<p>^^that would be the interesting question…how long were your parents married, and did it make a difference.</p>

<p>Did it last? Yes, coming up on 32nd anniversary</p>
<p>First and only child arrived 12 years after wedding. </p>
<p>We will both be technically eligible to retire this year, but will keep working at least until '13 graduates</p>
<p>How old were you when you first got married? 23 (2 months shy of 24)
In what Decade was your first marriage? 80’s

S1 got married a year ago at age 22. His wife was 23.</p>
<p>Married at 30. H was 26.</p>
<p>D’s at 33 and 37</p>
<p>Still happy. I average our age.</p>
<p>Married at 22 (2 weeks after college graduation) in 1991.</p>
<p>Kids at 27, 31 and 32.</p>
<p>Still going (albeit sometimes we’re ready to throw in the towel).</p>
<p>If I had to do it over I would wait until we were older and had some financial stability. We started poor & I feel like we not get enough of a nestegg to be secure. We certainly hope our kids won’t marry before 25.</p>

<p>Terwitt & Garland – we ARE the same person. I was married in the '80s, at 23, 1 month shy of my 24th birthday. Were we all married in June? And were we all wearing white?</p>
<p>I was married just two weeks shy of my 22nd birthday in 1987 to a divorced father of two, ten years older than me…we celebrated 25 years of marriage on April 1st. </p>
<p>I would NOT advise following in my path!! ;-)</p>
