    I agree. I got married the first time at 21 and it was a huge mistake for us, too. This time I'm not much older (27), but oh my goodness that 6 years makes a HUGE difference in a person.

    Under slightly for me. I'm going to be 31 and my husband will be 26. Yes I got a younger one, haha. I was first married at 18, and he was married before as well. We're definitely more prepared this time around.

    Oh wow! It must have jumped up quite a bit in the last year. Last year (according to the census) it was 29 for men and 27 for women, but that might because because the census numbers are for first marriages only.

    In Kansas, the average age of marriage is significantly lower (www.marriage.com). It is 25.5 for women and 27 for men. FH and I are just barely under these numbers for our state! I turned 25 a couple of weeks prior to our wedding and and FH was 26.5 on our wedding day.
