33??? My aunt just got married, and she is 38. 33 would be considered about average.

There's most likely nothing wrong with you that's making you stay single. Who knows what tomorrow or next year has in store.. maybe one day you'll be looking back thinking it just took a little longer to find someone to be with and it was well worth it.

Usually???
Wow!!!

My parents married under 25, after a whirlwind romance, and stayed married until my father died, nearly 50 years later.

My husband and I were under 25 when we married. We met in late 1974 and have been together since January 1975.

So it's not all doom and gloom for those who marry young.

However, there is that old adage ~ marry in haste; repent at leisure.

Young love seems to be so wonderful that not everyone really considers the seriousness of marriage before entering into it.

I know I was in shock when I heard that. Basically everyone in my family married young. My aunt married my uncle when she was SIXTEEN. They're in their late 40's not, still going great! Statistics also show that couples who live together first are more likely to get divorced. I don't get that at ALL.. I mean they know more of what they're getting into when they get into it that way, seems to me they would be more likely not to get divorced.

Not quite!

We met at college in late 1974; started going out together in January 1975; got engaged in 1979 (unofficially in Lanzarote that Summer; officially in September, on my 23rd birthday) and got married in June 1980.

I've heard that too, but I wonder .. you know how some couples have babies, in the hope that it will make an iffy marriage better? Perhaps some co-habitors get married for similar reasons?? confused

My parents got married when they were both 30, so 33 is only 3 years after. And besides, with your personality, Coco's Mama, you'll find someone who will want to marry you. smile

AND he was my first boyfriend! i have such great luck. yep, i'm dying alone. i should change my display name to catlady now, just so that that's all nice and established. frown
