    I've been reading the "Having a life and programming,a oxymoron" thread and noticed that a lot of CPIANs are married. Just wondering how old were you by the time it happened? Cheers, - xico -

        I'm just asking this because i'm nearly 24 and I don't feel like getting married at all. I'm currently with someone I really like. Maybe it's not love, or maybe I'm not ready for a real commitment... Cheers, - xico -

          I was 26. Marriage isn't the challenge. Having kids is the challenge. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!

          I got married at 30, and I totally agree with this. The challenge is kids. :) David http://www.dundas.com

              26 (and 14 days) a year before, i wouldn't have thought it would ever happen. in fact i broke up with a girlfriend who was starting to hint around at the M-word when i was 25. she kinda scared me. turns out, she just wasn't the right one. funny how it works. -c

                  I got married at 32. It really didn't cut into my coding time much, being a bit older we understood each other's needs and made allowances. It wasn't that way with earlier relationships... We had twins 4½ months ago. Now if I have time to read the Sunday comics on the weekend I'm lucky. Forget about reading technical material, much less writing code. On the other hand, I've got my priorities straight for the first time... ;-) It's always a long day... 86400 doesn't fit into a short.

                                Let me 'third' that. The challenge is not making the kids, but finding time in your life to be a parent to them. Mine are in bed with my wife and I'm posting on CP instead of playing with them.

                                        I was 34 when we moved in together and 35 when we married. As Cathy said, getting married isn't the big time sink, having children is. We do have two saving graces though. I work from home and her parents are living with us.

                                          I was 22.5. I'm also curious to know the relative ages of the spouses of CPians. My wife is 2.5 years older than I. At least in the U.S., I think this is unusual, as the husband is, I think, usually the same age or older. Of course I am particulary mature for my age :) My hair has been completely gray since I was about 20 :) Regards, Dan
