I was 18 when I met my husband in November of 1989. We were engaged and married on 5/11/90. This May we will celebrate our 22nd anniversary.
Many people said we would not last. Sometime I don't know how we do it, but we have.0 -

Met my first husband when I was 15. Knew him for 7 years before we got married when I was 22 and he was 24. No real engagement, just an understanding I guess. We were married only about 3 years. He was violent.
Met my second when I was 26, shortly after my divorce was final. He was 27. We knew each other for about a month before we got engaged, then were married a month later. Only knew each other for 2 months when we got married.
We have been married for 40 years later this year, and it's been a truly great marriage. No regrets.0 -
started dating on April 2, 1989
got engaged at 25 (Dec 24 1989)....he was 20
got married Sept 2, 1990
been married for 21.5 years....VERY HAPPILY I might add0 -
Met March 2005, started dating exclusively August of 2005, married January of 2006. Quick, but he was in the Navy and being moved to a new station 1,800 miles away, so I came along as wifey.
We have been married for 6 happy years, with 4 and 2 year old daughters.
I was 19 at marriage, he was almost 22. Sometimes, the things we do impulsively as youngsters work out beatifically.0 -
I've got two answers for you (two marriages)

Married: 7/1977 (age 24)

I was 23 when we got engaged. We had only dated for three months. We were only engaged for three weeks before we got married. I have no idea what the rush was for me, but he said he was afraid if we dated any longer I wouldn't like him anymore. The big silly. We have been married for twenty years.0
-
Met at 16 yo and instantly became great friends...started "officially" dating at 18....had child 1 and moved in at 19 yo...engaged at 23, married at 25....still together and will be celebrating 7th yr officially married in October. We would've married much sooner (his uncle is a Pastor and was asking every time he came to visit) but I had this vision of a wedding fit for a princess on Mackinac Island (which never materialized due to some obnoxious family members pissing in my Wheaties!) so ....we just waited until we were college grads and went on a cruise. More info than you asked for ...but who doesn't like to talk about themselves and the loves of their lives?!? I'm more in love with him every day that passes.
ETA: He's the same age as me.0 -
Dated 5 years, engaged at 21 and married at 22. We're still married 9 years later.0
-
I was 21 he was 19, we kinda skipped the engagement part. When we got together we kinda just new it was going to happen so no bended knee or romantic whatever (We both are not romantics) it was just this is suppose to happen. We told my mom after 6 months of being together that we were getting married and we got married 3 months later. Our 3 year anniversary is in July and we are happy.0
-
Got engaged at 22, 25 and 28, three different guys. Only actually followed through with marriage at 28. We'd been dating for a year and a half before we got engaged. We were engaged for 5 months before getting married, and we've been married 6 years.0

The way you have worded your title will attract the majority of people who are still married, although I'm not sure what your informal research is on I just wanted to make sure to point that out.
To answer your questions: (me/him)
Dating: 19/20
Engaged: 21/22
Married: 22/23
It's been 11.5 years and we're still together.0 -
