My Grandmother met my Grandfather when she was 15 and he was 19; they eloped 2 weeks later, and never spent a night apart until the day after he died in October last year; my grandmother died in January, and the poet in me tends to think that she found life without him so unbearable, that she wanted to be with him. You know, the night that he died, they died holding hands?

My point is this. It's not about the age. It's not even about the money, or having a roof, because those things can come with time, but it's all down to commitment; commitment to one another, and commitment to wanting to make life better for that one person you love...And I think that's the problem these days. Not promiscuity, the problem is people fall in and out of love far too often that they don't stop to take a look around and appreciate the people that they have around them, and in moving so fast, they miss a chance of finding that one person that lightning could strike with - and as a result, we spend our lives looking for that someone special to spend our lives with, and live with the regrets we make, whether it be the ******* boyfriend/girlfriend, or the wrong directions.

I'm kind of lucky. Two years ago yesterday I found someone right for me, and yeah. I might even one day have scars healed enough to pop the question to her, and I don't honestly see that day being all that far off.

Family and the friends you make are what matters people. the rest is simply the wind blowing as it will.

Very confident for someone on the more often losing side.

Definitely agree. I think sex (or at the very least sexual attraction if you decide to not engage in premarital sex) is important. You're going to have kids, you're going to procreate - why not make it enjoyable? Also, it keeps you attractive in each other's eyes - keeping the love alive etc.? haha.

pshhh...marriage is for chumps.

That's very interesting! You are are probably one of the only university students I have ever heard that has that opinion! I suppose you are right the way you are raised shaped your opinions. My mom had me young (24) while my boyfriend his mom had him at 38. While my boyfriend and I are ready to get married in a few years we both know we are ready to raise a child. Our play is travel ALOT in our twenties, volunteer abroad, at some point buy a puppy (lol). Kids just don't make the cut until we are 30. I am not really concerned health wise, essentially because my boyfriends entire family waited in their 30's to have kids and they are healthy as you can get! My boyfriend's mom and I are actually planning a trip to Germany after university you would never guess her age, that lady is so freaking active she puts me to shame. My mother however would prefer if I had kids around 25 (YIKES). My friends are all like me as well, no kids until 30! ( some of them are actually getting married this year) 20s are all going to be about fun with our husbands and travel.

I agree though it is kind of daunting the thought of raising kids until I am like 50, but I know I only want 1 or 2 haha so I am hoping by that time If i want to travel I will just drag my kid along with me. My aunt had her three kids all in her 30s and every year they go to a different country together to explore! Sorry for the long message, your opinion was interesting to me, it is refreshing to hear such a difference of opinions

Ha, I know exactly what you mean. I was surprised by how many old acquaintances I recognized on the set of my most recent film. Things got a little awkward..

Umm best time to get married... whenever both parties are ready? IMHO marriage should not be rushed, and it should be for life.

IMO. if you know you are going to be with the person with the rest of your life does it really matter when you are going to marry them or have kids? It's going to happen eventually just sit back and enjoy your money and free time while you have it...

Your grandparents' story is touching and all, but they are from a different time and society was different back then. You probably won't find a story like theirs in our generation, it will be extremely rare. You've been with someone for two years, but studies say passion only lasts 7 years in today's relationships. The statistics are not on your side, but good luck anyways, because sadly, you'll probably need it.
