My wife and I got married when I was 34. We have lots of things in common. The things that we don't share, she still supports me and I support her. That's a huge deal.
If I was younger I would have screwed it up. I know that because I screwed up plenty.
You don't want to be that guy that used to be interested in things before they were married, but now they have someone else telling them what they need to be doing.
Great examples: My wife knew I wanted to go hang out with my buddies one Friday night at a local car gathering. While I was at work she pulled my '07 Z06 Corvette out of my shop, hand washed it, hand waxed it and gave it a good detailing before I got home from work. She was 8 months pregnant at the time.
On our first date we hung out at my house and watched movies. When she walked in she saw my Ruger Red Label over/under 12ga and she asked if I would mind if she cleaned her concealed carry pistol and her shotgun. Then she went out to her car and pulled her shotgun out of her trunk. It was love.
Yup, she's a keeper.![]()
I was 24 when I had my son. My family is by far the most important thing to me and I'd die for them without hesitation. That's the kind of responsibility that shouldn't be jumped into.
Wait. If there's someone out there for you, you'll find them. No need to rush it.
I'm 26, married for a year, kid due Oct. 7. I can't wait to be a dad!
but don't rush into things either. you have a very long time to live (hopefully) and whether it is with the same woman or not depends on what kind of woman you find. it has to be the right one for you.
