I waited until I was 28 to get married... personally I hope my girls marry young. Much better to find a God fearing man and marry right away then spend years doing nothing but getting in trouble.. I regret so much of that time but will not dwell on the past!lindzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218111039323851513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-37052343763649009852016-05-13T14:08:18.644-04:002016-05-13T14:08:18.644-04:00Thank you for the insight of these answers MaryAnn...Thank you for the insight of these answers MaryAnn. I was engaged at 16 and married at 19. We met in a Sunday School class! I have never regretted it although people told us we were way too young. It's been 38 years this summer and I'm more in love with my husband than ever.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-59356596328763579932016-05-13T09:21:38.741-04:002016-05-13T09:21:38.741-04:00I meant to add that a lot of young ladies of 19 yr...I meant to add that a lot of young ladies of 19 yrs of age are still getting married and it is the males that are struggling in our culture to step up to the responsibility of marriage and adult life. Some males; a growing problem. Certainly the difficulty in finding good paying jobs - if a man is not a scholar - is contributing.joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06786607020220841570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-59249818075902306322016-05-13T09:17:22.828-04:002016-05-13T09:17:22.828-04:0019 was a common age for women to get married until...19 was a common age for women to get married until - maybe the last 10 or 15 yrs or so? Physiologically they are ready. Our society and its particular challenges, in some ways, has encouraged young adults to be more like adolescents. joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06786607020220841570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-48613563872562673052016-05-12T22:44:44.373-04:002016-05-12T22:44:44.373-04:00good postgood postshortybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104822128450697901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-8279396762881955532016-05-12T19:25:54.001-04:002016-05-12T19:25:54.001-04:00I appreciate your honesty in your answers.

I think most all of us "feel" older than we really are when we get married, and then down the road we look back and think, "we were still just kids!" <br /><br />I'll be checking out the remedy post, as I believe many of them can actually work and sometimes it just isn't convenient to do to a doctor.<br />Barbara, blogging Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-44411780117783016432016-05-12T13:48:42.869-04:002016-05-12T13:48:42.869-04:00I can easily see why Amish can marry so young, wit...I can easily see why Amish can marry so young, with the close hands-on instruction given in day to day living by parents. I'm sure the Amish teens of our area are more capable than I'll ever be to can, bake, cook, sew and clean. garden, mow, drive horses, tractors, do carpenter work, etc. etc.<br />Our Amish neighbor sent over Rhubarb Strudel the other day.
