18 and 21. They divorced 19 years later and both married other people-who were not involved in the divorce at all, and they are now both deceased. I realize this is way more information than requested, but I couldn't just write down 18 and 21.

Dad was 43. Mom was 22. He died 6 years later when I was three (in 1970).
For 29 years, she stayed absolutely devoted to him... She never remarried and died in 1999.

My mom was only 19! My dad was 23. He was a handsome naval officer and she was a beautiful young woman from an abusive household. They divorced after 22 years of marriage.

Both were 24 and unsaved.

My mother lived in a household where she was not allowed to sing in the church choir because "she might talk to boys." Her father died when she was 24; she got married when she was 24 and a half.

She was married to an abusive man for 46 years. Poor woman.

If I remember right, my mom was 19 and Dad was 21. Might have been a year older for both. In that range of "very young" by today's standards.

Mom - 2 months shy of 19; Dad - 1 month shy of 20. My grandmother basically told my mom she needed to marry my father. She wanted to go away to college with her friends but my grandmother wanted her "married and secure" instead. They divorced after 21 years (when I was 12) when he left for the wife of his best friend (very clearly NOT his first affair). Both remarried. The summer before my 15th birthday, my mom married a wonderful, godly man. They were married, very happily until his death in '93. I still miss him so much! My father, after a very difficult 2nd marriage and divorce married my step-mother and celebrated 25 years this past July. I think he learned his lesson.

You want to see the power of love and forgiveness? You should have seen us all at my mom's for Christmas! My father, his wife, brother, my hubby and his family including his brother and mom and all our kids were together at my mom's house. We all get along so well! We have managed to blend very well. Life does go on.
