Well, i'm not married yet or not even near the age, i just would like to know when is the age of marriage around places, i just can't think about it marriage, you know with a girl, life it all looks so much like a wonderful thing which I cannot imagine. Can you mention the age you were married at and what you felt about you life after marriage. Please I would like answers from both men and women. Dinu :)

He/She too seems to be looking at the camera, you could have had a closer shot. I would like to post pictures of my little dog here but, you know Indian woman have a lot of formalities(superstition), I'm not blaming my mom but still, it is with all(most)of them. She says dog aren't supposed to be photographed, anyhow i will picture my dog when my mom is not at hoe one day and i will put it here he he :) Have a nice day :)

oh wow... i can't imagine myself marrying someone at my age... haha i'm still way too young but if i were to get married, i would like to get married at the age of maybe 25 or something like that. in all honesty, i'm not into marriages at all. i prefer to live alone in a big city because i grew up independently and i just really can't see myself commit to someone for eternity. maybe this is because i'm still really young and i will see things differently in the future but at the moment, marriage is not an option for me.

Now a days more female and male married at the age of 30 so they are emotionally and financially secure. Right now I still prefer to be single marriage is not for me. I'm discourage to be in a marriage when you fall in to wrong guy or girl you going to blame yourself if you are not really sure about it. Like here in our place for example there's a here couple always fight day and night. In the case of my Family I hate my father because he didn't care so much about my situation he is not a good father to us we can't have emotional attachment to him. If I'm going to marry someone I don't want to be like my Father I want a loving and understanding husband.

Hello agv, I do get your point, ending up in marriage with a person whom we cannot spend the rest of the life can be difficult but you know these days, you marry, you fight, you break-up(divorce) that is it, that is all the bond that exists between the men and women of these days. It is so bloody rotten, I had people of that sort, they should come to know each other before-hand. Anyways, i in support of divorce, but as you say, if you want a good,caring, patient and understanding hubby, you know you should look for him. Well you are elder to me, you will know better here anyways, I'll just tell somethings i know. You should observer him in different situations and then if you feel he is the right guy, then somehow make it up to him and since you made the choice you should also be understanding and caring for him. Take care, Dinu :)

yes, thank you and i also am hoping, my father started talking to me about all this(not all) when I half passed through my teen like at 16 or so and he told that it will be better if I get a girl of my liking so as I wouldn't have to complain about anything as well as we will know each other. he said that for me, i will need a girl who has a lot of patience and comes to decisions at a shorter period of time. those are some things lacking in me. Anyways, it was so nice you to share with me, thank you. Have a nice day :)

Good ?, something a lil different! I was married around 22, I'm 32 now and been divorced since '04! I've always wanted to get married, but not round til 26; thing of it is, life don't always go as planned - like staying married forever! It all depends on the individuals involved. I'm not going to bad mouth her, but lets just say you can't keep a marriage together alone!! Marriage is a beautiful thing, as long as you're you're both working on it together!! Taripre$

Thanx, but don't be sad for me, it was more than likely what I needed! U can't keep someone that doesn't want to be kept, it's much more trouble than it's worth. I have my son and that's all that really matters; I also have her second child, my son's baby brother, so it's cool!! Her and I are on good terms, and that's better than many other broken marriages I heard about, So I'm in a good place as far as that's concerned!! Taripre$

Yep, you said the right point buddy, 'Marriage is a beautiful thing, as long as you're both working on it, together'. But I am very sad to hear that you have divorced her, I don't have any words to say for now, maybe I'll think about it and come back. Have a nice day :)

I'm sorry but I didn't get you clearly, what does 'dispense to situation' mean. Like were you married against many oppositions from your family.

You had a very early marriage, but that's great, now-a-days we are hardly able to see young couples. The world, all the people in it, have become so money minded that only if the boy has a good job(permanent that is) and a good status, they give him a girl, if it is love, they are against it. like you people, early marriage, you must be very understanding and more caring for each other now :) Have a nice day :)
