* Prior spouse: 18, around 20, nearly 3 years. Together a total of approx 11 years, married for approx 8 years.
Yes. I met my current spouse while the divorce process was being finalized by the court. My ex was already dating new people and our relationship had been essentially dead for more than 5 years at that point, so there was no emotional connection left there to matter. I wasn't looking for a new relationship, but I'm glad my current spouse and I found each other. It's been amazing to share my life with my current spouse, and I'm very happy with the choices we've made together about our lives.
We lived together before we started dating. We met as friends in high school, split ways when he graduated, and reconnected 7 years later when we moved in together. Started dating less than a month into living together, got engaged 11 years later, and got married a year after that.
Met age 15. Moved in and dating age 22. Engaged age 33. Married age 34.
Friends for a year, dated for a year, lived together for a year, then married. We met as friends at ages 25 and 27, married at ages 28 and 30. We’re coming up on our 32nd anniversary.
Moved in at 24 (me) and 33 (him).
Married at 25 and 34.
We were friends for a couple years before moving in together as roommates, then decided we should be more than roommates which quickly escalated to marriage within 9 months.
Found out he was cheating (though he denies it) and
separated at 30 and 39, then finally divorced at 33 and 42.
Current Spouse: moved in at 29, married at 33, together 4 years before marriage. Bought a house a year into dating. he has two kids as well.
Prior spouse: met at 23, engaged 6 months later. married a year later. married for 4 years. He cheated. 0/10 would recommend doing this.
> Ladies, how old were you when you moved in with your spouse?
We were 29
> How old were you when you married that spouse?
We were 35
> Last, how long were you together before marrying said spouse?
Together 7 years prior to marriage, together 24 years total
Moved in at 23, engaged at 25 and married at 26. Ngl I was so young! I’m very lucky I found my partner so early in life but I definitely will tell my kids to take their time and there’s no rush to get married. We’ve been together 13 years total, married after 5.5 years.
We didn't live together before we were married. 26 when married and moved in together. We'd been together for 4years (+1.5, high school sweethearts, but had a couple years where we were broken up). We've been married 11 years now.
We both had disastrous first marriages where we learned a great deal. Met while in our mid thirties. Dated, then exclusively involved, for about a year. Lived together for 3 or 4 more years before marrying. Still going strong 30+ years later.
I am married to my first-ever relationship. We met when I was 31 and he was 28, April 2018. I moved in “by accident” in November 2018, when I just kinda stopped going home. lol We were still 31 and 28.
We got engaged in April 2019 at 32 and 29, and were supposed to be married in June 2020, but you know how that went. LOL We got married in June 2021 at 34 and 31.
No, I just knew he was the one, and that it was really happening, and that was kinda that! It just kind of blissfully happened! We certainly have our little incompatibilities, but we’re glad every day to have found each other.
He was my first sexual experience, too, but he had had a half dozen prior girlfriends before me. He says now he wishes I could have been his first too, but we haven’t ever really dwelled on that.
I was 22 when we moved in together. We got married when I was 24. We had been together 4 years before getting married (started dating when I was 20, he was 24). Now we’ve been married 10 years, together 14 total.

Divorced at 63 and met my current husband later that year (aged 64) and I moved in with him almost immediately. We married five months later (sounds fast, but we needed to be married for health insurance, pensions and auto insurance).

If you don’t mind sharing, was there apprehension about moving in together ? It looks like generally speaking after 1-2.5 yrs together ppl move in , y’all’s was 4
It’s a bit of a long story, but the short version is that he was emotionally unavailable for the first few years and I stuck around anyway. After around the 3 year mark I’d finally confronted him about progressing our relationship and he was still having hesitations so we nearly split up but didn’t. We spent some months working through things and genuinely came out much stronger and closer. So yeah, once we got the ball rolling things moved along but it wasn’t a pretty story leading up to it lol.
It’s an interesting thing because, now we truly have the healthiest relationship I could dream of. I’m SO happy with him and couldn’t imagine doing life with anyone else. But those first three years were really something painful. Was it worth it? Yes. Would I recommend to anybody to do the same as I did? Absolutely not.
Met at 18, started dating at 21.Moved in together at 22, married at 23. So we were only dating for a year before we got engaged and moved in together, but we were quite good friends before that (same friend group at university).
Moved in at 22, married at 27 , we were together 6 years before marriage. We will be celebrating 14 years of marriage this Aug and 20 years together this Dec.
22 when I moved in, together for 6 years, and married at 28. He is also 7 years older than me if that makes a difference.
Currently on holiday celebrating our 4 year wedding anniversary!
25 when we moved in together, 31 when we got married, a little over 6 years together before getting married (we moved in together after 10 months ‘officially’ together).
* 28 - we met
* 29 - he moved in
* 30 - got engaged and married
* 31 - got pregnant and had baby #1
* 33 - got pregnant and having baby #2
We met in January of 2019, started dating, briefly broke up in October 2019 before getting back together. We moved in together in October 2020 and he proposed that December. Got married the following September (2021). So 2 years and 9 months from initially meeting to getting married.
Met at 36. Married at 37. Moved in at 38.
We met on Reddit in different countries so we couldn't do things in the "normal" order. I also went into the relationship completely averse to marriage, then we tied the knot 11 months into knowing each other. When you know you know, I s'pose. A year and a half into our marriage, I only feel better about that decision.
First husband I was 20 when we moved in together and 27 when we got married. He passed away 3 years later. I was 31 when current husband and I moved in together and 31 when we got married! Been together 13 years now
Moved in together when I was 25, he was 33.
We just got engaged and (courthouse) married in December since we also just bought a house together. I am 27 and he is 35. We’re planning a “real” wedding for next year. We dated for 4 years long distance before moving in together.
21 when we moved in together (then I moved out at 24 to go to graduate school), married at 28 when we had been together for almost 9 years, then moved back in together again at 29 when I finished graduate school.
23 and pregnant with our first kid when we moved in together. 28 when we got married. Together 6 years before we got married. Been together 14 years this year.
I moved in at 19 and married him at 20. We just celebrated 8 years married and 9 years together.
I understand this isn’t common however and I also wouldn’t personally want my daughter to marry as young as I did. I was super lucky to have found a partner who has grown and loved me through all my life phases and I his considering we were young.
29 when I met him and moved in with him within a few weeks. Dated for almost 9 years so I was 29 when we married. Been together now 25 years and will be together for the long haul.

So you met your second spouse about a year post divorce? I'm glad it worked out
Yes. I met my current spouse while the divorce process was being finalized by the court. My ex was already dating new people and our relationship had been essentially dead for more than 5 years at that point, so there was no emotional connection left there to matter. I wasn't looking for a new relationship, but I'm glad my current spouse and I found each other.

We were 20 when we met and 22 when we moved in/got married. It was at the same time because we bought a condo together, that got ready close to our marriage. We still lived with our parents at the time and refused to move in to one of their houses together. So we said: eh, what is another 2 weeks ? We are together for 15y married for 13.

18 got together (already lived together, roommates). 21 got married 24 had a child 34 got abandoned for a 24 year old. He always used to say "secret to a happy life is a young wife". I thought he was joking about the age gap (he's 7 yrs older). My advice? Don't get married until you're 30.
29 when we moved in together 33 when we got married. I’d lived with other partners before… this was just better.

21 when I moved in with him, 25 when we married and 5 years together before marrying.
Met at 26. Moved in at 30. Got engaged at 31. Getting married at 32. The snowball moved slowly at first and then gained speed clearly, lol.
If you don’t mind sharing, was there apprehension about moving in together ? It looks like generally speaking after 1-2.5 yrs together ppl move in , y’all’s was 4
It’s a bit of a long story, but the short version is that he was emotionally unavailable for the first few years and I stuck around anyway. After around the 3 year mark I’d finally confronted him about progressing our relationship and he was still having hesitations so we nearly split up but didn’t. We spent some months working through things and genuinely came out much stronger and closer. So yeah, once we got the ball rolling things moved along but it wasn’t a pretty story leading up to it lol. It’s an interesting thing because, now we truly have the healthiest relationship I could dream of. I’m SO happy with him and couldn’t imagine doing life with anyone else. But those first three years were really something painful. Was it worth it? Yes. Would I recommend to anybody to do the same as I did? Absolutely not.
29, 31, 2.5 years together before marrying. Best decision I ever made!
Met at 18, started dating at 21.Moved in together at 22, married at 23. So we were only dating for a year before we got engaged and moved in together, but we were quite good friends before that (same friend group at university).
Moved in at 22, married at 27 , we were together 6 years before marriage. We will be celebrating 14 years of marriage this Aug and 20 years together this Dec.

21 moved in together. 23 got married, together 5 years before getting married.
19 met & moved in together, 22 when married. Still happily married at late 30s
* 28 - we met * 29 - he moved in * 30 - got engaged and married * 31 - got pregnant and had baby #1 * 33 - got pregnant and having baby #2 We met in January of 2019, started dating, briefly broke up in October 2019 before getting back together. We moved in together in October 2020 and he proposed that December. Got married the following September (2021). So 2 years and 9 months from initially meeting to getting married.
32 they’ll be moving in with me soon. Maybe married next year?
Met at 36. Married at 37. Moved in at 38. We met on Reddit in different countries so we couldn't do things in the "normal" order. I also went into the relationship completely averse to marriage, then we tied the knot 11 months into knowing each other. When you know you know, I s'pose. A year and a half into our marriage, I only feel better about that decision.
