To the married CPIANs
-
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.

Bah - I'm looking forward to every minute of it. I'm actually upset (as is she) that I have to wait that long. :) Jon Sagara What about :bob:? Sonork ID: 100.9999 jonsagara

I'm impressed. Why are you waiting? Do you have to do something special before getting married? :-D Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com
Sew my royal... I mean... :-O (Just kidding) No, nothing special, just need to save a little coin first. :) [EDIT]Oh, and we both want to wait until we are established in our careers.

I got married at 30, and I totally agree with this. The challenge is kids. :) David http://www.dundas.com
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. Damn you, Chris Maunder !!! :-) Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little.

Married 7 years ago, when I was 23. The tip here is: your (future) wife has to understand that you have working hours similar to a doctor. Emergencies late at night; wake up at 2 a.m. and code the solution to that memory leak, and so on. Crivo Automated Credit Assessment

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

I was 26. Marriage isn't the challenge. Having kids is the challenge. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!
Kids! Wait till they become teenagers ;P ( I got three and they are female to boot ) Know much 'programming' I do away from work? Zilch, Nada, nuttin'. Chris

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

It's funny how some women so desperately want to get married that they often disregard the whole compatability issue. I used to tell my girlfriend "You don't want to marry me. You just want to have a wedding." It turns out she did want to marry me after all. Lucky me. :-D PS. I was 28. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

Actually my wife is 6 years older and I'm 34. When I met her I thought she was younger than me. She don't have one bit of grey hair - I have all the grey hair. :( Then we have a 13 year old daughter who gives me more!
