I came upon this web sight by accident while I was looking at images of Greece for my 15 yr old daughter. Paths are put in front of us and we are graced at the strangest times. Interesting advice for young people. However, as a single mother of three and a first time college student at 40 I’d like to throw in my two cents for what it’s worth. If you get married and you bring children into this world then make it work!! Your children are more important than your own happiness. It is a very selfish thing to create a family and change your mind half way through because you aren’t happy. You chose your path now follow through and make it work!!

I think this just underscores….you goofed when you divorce and should have worked it out…too bad for your kids.

Good advice, more people seem to be taking this 30’s route due to economics. Most people that I see when I go to town seem to be getting married younger.

Hey, no 1 and no 2 are really extreme to me, lol. I personally would like to get married soon and have my children. There are more time to be with your family then.

I wasn't married to my son's dad but we had been together (and were engaged) for a long time. We were young and had our son when I was only 23 and he was 22. Life changed that's for sure. He wasn't ready to give up his 'freedom' that a baby required you give up. Hell I even had a hard time giving up my partying and doing what I wanted when I wanted ways. I look back now & at 34 I totally agree with the marriage advice you gave. Had we been married back then when I was in my 20's it would have never lasted. I definitely agree about waiting to have kids until your in your 30's. And I'm all about getting married and staying married. Tishia Lee´s last blog post..Another Entry for a Contest

If i were to impart any wisdom from the failure of my first marriage it would be this blog post exactly. There's no need to rush out and get married. If i would have waited and gotten married around 30 instead of 21, i can guarantee things would have been alot different. But, it has given me plenty of ammunition for my blog.

Dude, I totally agree with your points. I got married when I was 32 and that was still probably too early. It probably would have been worse if I married in my 20s. Yes, I was doing everything to make everyone else happy. Now, I'm trying to make myself happy. Great post! Kevin´s last blog post..Apologizing to the Austin crowd
