How old were you when you got married?

[icebrat001]

While you certainly have a right to your opinion the OP wasn't seeking it. It is up to each of us to determine what we will believe and how we will live. It is not up to us to condemn or preach to those who don't share our views. Try a little kindness.

Thank you to all of those that stood up for me

Again I was not posting that to be bashed. I also believe that there shouldn't be a separation of church and state. I however do love our country the way it is. Again most of my friends are gay but they also know ( AND RESPECT) how I feel on them getting married. None of them want to anyways though. Marriage is reserved between a man and a woman.

Homosexuals have the same rights as everyone else. To marry someone from the opposite sex. Enough said.

Married at 21

Our engagement is a different story.. We're high school sweathearts and both military brats.. so we were separated (long distant) and dated other people for about 5 yrs while still writing and calling eachother..

He ended up visiting me one year and offered me an engagement ring. I took and accepted... He left to go back home... so another long distant relationship for about 6 months... then I went to visit him.. and never left.. we got an apt together and 6months later were married..

Will be 10yrs Oct 2006

Moderators - how can you allow this? This is spreading hatred and intolerance and how dare this person inject their "Christian" faith onto this girl?

I thought being a good Christian was about tolerance, respect for others and the golden rule - at least those are part of morals that make good Catholics good Catholics.

 

[umaangel00]

Um well since I am not CATHOLIC, it's different. Christian views are different that Catholic views. As my husband (and his whole family) would say, Catholics are Christians gone bad.

I am also not putting my views on anyone. I am stating how I FEEL. Not how everyone else should feel.

All I can say to this is WOW there is a lot of ignorance going around on this thread.



Icebrat~ I hope you do end up getting married, but at the time that is right for you and your partner. No need to rush it!! I'm 23 and living w/ my DBF. We know it's right and we will get married eventually but with me in grad school and him in med school it's just not the time. We're just enjoying the ride right now

Of course, I'm living in sin too since DBF and I are living together without being married. Oh well.

Ahhh, ya gotta love the "some of my best friends are gay" argument.

Homophobic attitude at its most vile and insidious. Pretending to be a friend while hoping they don't have the same opportunity for "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness." With friends like that, who needs enemies, eh?

Frankly, I'm glad when a bigot shows his/her true colors. Lets you know exactly what kind of person you're dealing with.

Also, it probably gives us just a taste of the ignorance the OP has to deal with on a daily basis.

to you, OP.

I am not ignorant and I am not a bigot. They have the same rights as everyone else. Like I said in another thread, what is stopping a lesbian couple from marrying a male gay couple so they can have the same rights? The only thing stopping them is their own stupidity and time. That's it. We were all made to be with someone of the opposite sex. Look at how our bodies were made and you will understand what I am saying.

I do love each and every one of my homesexual friends. I wish them all the happiness in the world. Just not the marriage thing

As I retorted when you made that previous comment, clearly you support loveless marriage over a relationship founded on love. That's a horrible sentiment and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

As for "stupidity", well, thanks for callilng an entire population stupid, myself included. That just slipped you into the "ignorant" and "bigot" category you are so quick to deny.

 

[umaangel00]

I am done on this thread. We have entire new thread to debate this one. Let's let this thread get back to the way the OP wanted it to be.

 

[CharityLynn]

How old were you when you got married?-- I was 24 he was 25

How long was your engagement?--- What engagement? lol I never got an actual proposal or ring lol I just got to a point that I was like Ok here are a couple of dates pick one lol

How long did you date? When we got married we had been together for just over 4 years.

 

[RickinNYC]

Edited because it's not worth my time.

 

[jenm2878]

Married - me 27, him 29. Our eight year anniversary was the day before our wedding, and we were engaged for less then a year.

Holy crap.

What you said on the other thread was horrible, but this is just as bad.

Edited because it's not worth my time.

You're better than me, I couldn't help myself.

And to get back on topic...
I was 16 when I got married.
I was engaged for about six months.

 

[RickinNYC]

Well, if Joe and I were allowed to get married, we'd have done so at 24. I voted anyway.

We've been together for 15 years and are looking at many, many, many more years together.

Can't imagine spending my life with anyone but him!

 

[mickeyboat]

I met DH when I was 13, engaged at 19, married at 21.
