My parents got married at 20. If I was like them, I'd have a 17 and a 12yr old to take care of right now.
:Q

I'd like to get married and have kids and almost did eight years ago - but we both needed to grow up. I have grown, dunno if she has, but the point is that I'd hate to have kids and put them through a divorce.

I guess that is one reason why I've been dating younger girls. (8 to 10 years younger than me - I'm 37.) I guess I want to be dating someone who wants to have kids, but doesn't hear that "clock" ticking loudly.

When you were younger (or currently) when did you see yourself as married?



Personally, I have always pictured myself as getting married right out of college. I think it may be due (partially) to the fact that my parents got married at a young age. My dad was only 21 and my mom was 19 when they tied the knot.

When also thought i would NOT get married, until i was about 25, which is when I figured out that women aren't evil, their just one step ahead.
 
I'm thinking 26-28. I'm hoping to join the Air Force, and by then I'll have a very steady job and education. Good time to settle down
 
When I was young I couldn't see myself necessarily living in the little house with a white picket fence, etc. But I knew I was going to be married because I couldn't stand the thought of growing up and living life without my best friend always there with me.

I never saw myself married until I was about 22. That was only 3 years ago. Getting married 2004.
 
I'll get married only after I have achieved my career goal, having a wife would hinder what I want career-wise, so a not so demanding gf is good for now.
 
I know the question said "for guys", but since I'm not a guy please permit me to say something here: I actually always thought of settling since I was very young when I fell in love with a couple of guys. But the one that really, really meant a lot to me and affected me was the guy I fell for when I was 14/15 yrs. I actually imagined a future with this guy. I actually imagined getting married and having kids. Weird! In hindsight, I am so glad nothing like that happened. Ever since then, though, I haven't been anxious to get married. In fact, I'm excited and scared at the same time. So I see myself waiting for a while. Probably until my early 30s. By then I would have accomplished some personal goals, for instance the careers I'm pursuing at the moment--Law & Econs and modelling.

You know, that's an interesting opinion. My parents got married at a young age as well, and I've never not considered getting married youmg, though when I was a teen, I pictured it around 26-27, not 22.
