[Penni]

My grandparents married very young and have been married for more than 65 years. My parents married when they were in their twenties, and after 35 years, they are divorced. I got married at 22 (he was 27) and we’ve been married for nine years. There are so many factors that decide successful marriage, and I think age is very low on the list. But the ‘support’ issue, I believe, is just a stereotypical reaction of our society. People get married and divorced for many reasons. And I believe that as long as you know yourself and what you want for your life, you can be in a position to get married.

Unfortunately, you think you know all of that when you are young, and then you change. I am 31, and believe me, I have changed. The key is to change together and accept that you and/or your mate are going to grow up and begin to live and think differently. I feel that watching my spouse grow and change is one of the exciting things about our relationship. I am always seeing something new about him.

It’s a shame that we have so much divorce in our society and that people just give up so easily. It’s even more heartbreaking when there are kids involved. But we cannot just pick age as the reason. It takes a lot more than age to break up a marriage.
