Question does not make sense. The answers should be

Easier


Harder

I married 2 months after my 20th birthday. After 28 years of completely faithful marriage on both on our parts, I had an A.

We will have been married for 32 years next week.

My marriage before my A was the envy of everyone. So I don't know what the answer to your question is. It was a totally successful marriage before the A, now it's harder.

hmmmmmmmmmmm

I really can't give you an answer to this..............we married when we were young (me-19yo husb.22yo). Alot of our friends married when they were young too...........none of them are together anymore.

We have alot of friends that married young, divorced, married again when they were older and are getting divorced again.

I guess there is no Yes/NO answer to this question, it really depends on the relationship itself and how good communication goes between the spouses and how well Emotionsal Needs are being fullfilled. It doesn't matter whether the spouses are young or old............some never learn to communicate the right way.

I think that when you're young, it's possible to develope and mature "together" or apart from one another and when you're older, you're usually imprinted and matured through past experience, which again can also make a relationship difficult until both have adapted to one another or NOT.

Both sides have positive aspects as well as negetive.

Another important aspect is what each individual have experienced themselves during their upbringing and what they bring into their relationship.

Hi All,
I didn’t mean that it was an excuse for doing what I did. It wasn’t.
It’s just that sitting back and having a really hard look at what started us on the downward spiral, it seems to me that a lot of it started because I was so young that I was still living in the land of “everything should be perfect, all of the time.” I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t make it all work just how I wanted it too. There were a lot of other factors too. I know this.
But I really do believe that getting married as young as we did, was a mistake, we were just too immature and didn’t have the life experience that we needed to go about things the right way.
I don’t regret it, if I hadn’t married him I wouldn’t have my beautiful girls, and I wouldn’t be married to a guy who knows me for all my faults and has managed to forgive me, and let me try to make up for everything.
Just wondering if anyone else felt the same way.

P.S. the only easy thing about my girls are when it's the weekend and we don't have anywhere to get to at a specific time ! ! !

Sorry about that, I realised I’d done that as soon as it hit the board. I was having dramas with sorting out how to put a poll on. And then I had to rush through the rest to get back to work.
Turned out I hadn’t put anything in the subject line!

Sorry again,
