    How old were you when you got engaged? How long had you been together before getting engaged? How old were you when you got married? Are you still together (if so, for how long)? Doing some informal research for a class - answers appreciated!

    I was 28 when we were engaged, we knew each other for 10 years prior; but dated for 6 months before the engagement. I was 29 when we got married, he was 36. We have been married for 5 months and together for a total of 2+ years. :flowerforyou:

    1st marriage engaged at 16 1/2, married at 17...he was 25 yrs old...my mother arranged it with his mother because he was still single and my mother couldn't afford to send me to college. She figured I needed a man to take care of me. Divorce at 21.

    2nd marriage I was 24, he was 29. Lasted 9 years until my tolerancce for stupidity was exhausted.

    Currently, I am 51, he is 58. We have been together 15 glorious years and getting better all the time. Not married, been engaged for most of it. Got the ring Valentines Day 2005. Not going to have a wedding, just go to the justice of the peace.

    The first time I married I was 18 (he was 19). There was no official engagement. I was young and dumb and got pregnant. We were together for about 6 months before marrying and were officially divorced right before our 8th anniversary, although we separated about 2 years or so before that.

    My second marriage lasted about 9 months before separation and eventual divorce at about 19 months after the wedding. The engagement lasted about 3 months and we dated about year before that. He's a child molester (which I did NOT know until he went to jail for it... paperwork was started almost IMMEDIATELY following...

    My third (and FINAL) marriage hasn't happened yet. I've known him for 16 years, we were engaged roughly 17 months before engagement and are getting married this coming friday. I know in my heart this time is right and wish I hadn't been so stupid in high school.... Then maybe I wouldn't have had to suffer through 2 failed attempts!
