I was 24 and dh was 33 when we got married. It's been 11 years and so far so good. Normal marriage stuff, no major issues. Three kids. Our first year of marriage was not our best, but we sorted things out settled in and its working out well. Hopefully it stays this way.
Don't worry- Philip Cohen (the blogger) is a very well respected sociological researcher. He frequently takes popular press information and then examines the actual data (like he did here.) So, legit source in my world. The way the original results are presented are deceptive, to say the least, and now they're, unfortunately, getting a ton of press.
If I knew how to include an image, I'd paste the actual image from the original" researchers" that is drawn in a much less deceptive (and less dramatic) way. It's included on the blog post if you want to take a peek.
Yes, that was my point. I was linking the rebuttal.
Sorry- I thought you were lamenting the point that the familyinequality rebuttal was from a blog post rather than a journal article.

I met my H at 35 (a month before I turned 36) when he was 33, got married at 38, still married at 46 and I know I'd want to marry him again. We're perfectly suited for each other (and lots of people say that, not just me & him).
This is us too. I was 22 when we got married. We just celebrated our 7th anniversary, and I can say that if we met today I think we would still end up together.
I attribute this entirely to luck though.
We met at 22 and married at 24. I feel the same, we would still end up together today.
I pray my kids don't get married that young though or at least wait to have kids. I had DD at a few weeks before 26. H and I didn't live enough before kids. So much that we should have seen and done. The nice part is we will be 46 when our youngest is 18. I hope we get to spend our time traveling.
This is us as well. We got married at 21, which seems so crazy looking back. We'll celebrate our 14th anniversary next month and we're still really happy, but we're lucky. We have changed so much since then, but we've somehow managed to both change and grow along the same general path. That isn't true for a lot of people who marry young. In fact out of all of our friends and family who also married young, we're it- everyone else is on their second marriage, just divorced, or has extreme difficulty in their marriage right now.
