So how old were you when you got married? Is 31 too old to get married for the first time? What if I never meet someone who wants to marry me? Or that I want to marry for that matter?

you are never to old to get married, it is best to wait this long that way maybe you will find that one and only that you will be married for the rest of your life to instead of getting married young and it not lasting. I am 44 and have been married two times and now I wish I would of waited til I was older then 20 on my first one. Your time will come and you will meet someone that will take you heart and you will get marrried in time. Hugs!

im 34 never been married!:D i guess most of the girls really wanted to be married or settle down in some point of their lives. me personally i wanted to find the RIGHT PERSON FOR ME and be married someday...but if we're destined to be single..oh well hope not..:D i guess we just need to accept it right? dont pressure yourself too much....you might end up marrying someone with the wrong reasons...

I know and I tell myself that I am only doing it once in my life, so I am going to make it count! The bad part is that I already have kids, and that makes it harder to find someone to be with, they have to accept me and my kids...

I do, but everyday I feel that I am cheating the kids somehow by not having the father figure here for them. On that note, I do have a roomate that is male, and he has been around off and on since my middle child was about 2 1/2. He might as well be the baby's father, since he has spent more time with the baby than his real father has.

I believe that a no one is ever too old to get married. Personally, I know of women who got married really late, when they were in their 40s. And it was their first marriage. If you are really keen on marriage, I'm pretty sure that there will be someone out there who would be keen to marry you for sure. Just go out with lots of guys and I'm sure you'll meet the one! :) Best of luck!! :)

31 is not too old. I'm 33 and my sister is 33 (long story, she's my step-sister but I don't call her that anymore) and she is getting married later this year. She found a really great guy who is older than her. We are all exstatic they are getting married. I don't think age should really matter. It's finding the right person for you that matters. And if it takes until you're 50, so what. At least all this time you're not putting up with someone who doesn't treat you properly. It's worth the wait. Although, easy for me to say, I got married at age 27 I think.

I knew a lady that was in her 70's when she got married for the first time. So I would have to say there is no age too old to get married.
