I was 27, turned 28 a month later. Jeffery was 29. Being old helped us know ourselves. We both had lived on our own, Jeffery's career was very established. It afforded me the option of working or not. Even when I went back to work, we made ourselves live on one income. We worked to pay everything off. This has been a very good plan for us and has afforded us some freedoms in making choices when my parents became ill. We were able to move and/or I was able to go and take care of them. We have had some difficult times because we both were sort of set in our ways, so the dynamics have been a challenge. I will say that I picked different qualities in a mate than I did when I was 18 or 19.

No matter what, you have to work at it.

I was 17 and he was 21,we will soon be married 46 years,it has been rough at times ,but the good times out-weigh the bad.

Most all of my childhood friends have been married 2 and some 3 times,they use to ask who was I married to at the time,they finally started saying I was the only one that still had the same husband.

I met my dear hubby the second day in Texas while on vacation. We spent almost every day together after that first meeting. We were married four months later. It was love at first sight!

I had just turned 19, nine days before our wedding day! He was 19 also, by 3 months!! That was 23 years ago, and we are still going strong!

I was 21. I had prayed for years (since I was 16) for my husband and his family. I prayed for God to make me ready for marriage and my future husband ready for me too! :lol:

I am so glad I followed the Lord's leading when He decided to do things different than the plans I had for my life. If I had not obeyed, I would not be married to the most wonderful man in the world! I could imagine life without him, but it's not a pretty picture and I don't like doing that! Thank You, Lord, for a wonderful husband!

I was 25 a little over a month from being 26, she was 19.

Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking, but I still love her as much today as I did when we got married. We've got a long way to go before we've been married half as long as a lot of you here, but the last 4 and a half years have flown by.

I was 29 and I tell you how old my was she will kill me. Since I want to live, I will tell you that it was the best thing ever to wait that late in age. And I couldn't have found a better wife for myself.

God knew and after almost 2 years of marriage, I can say it has been GREAT.

21 and 18

Postby Pastor Gary » February 7th, 2007, 10:35 am

I was 21. Amy was 18 and fresh out of High School.
We were young and in love and blind to all reality, but God has been gracious, and we will celebrate 36 years of marriage on June 25th.

It has not been all violins and roses... we have had some great years and few we'd sooner forget, but when we vowed "for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health" we meant it. I love her more now (and in a deeper, more special way) than I did in 1971.
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)
