This response is a bit tongue in cheek, but I figure I've got the right as
a member of the 29/7 club.

My current opinion is that 25 is not old enough, 29 is not enough, 35 is
probably not even old enough.  On the other hand any time is a good time
to get married if you can accept the fact that it might not last forever.

Chuqui mentioned in his "A Seasonal Note" posting several weeks ago the guilt
(or mixed emotions) he felt regarding the ending of his marriage.  The problem
seems to be that committment "till death do us part".  I personally don't like
to fail, but when I don't live up to my word I tend to feel a failure.

Solutions?

(I guess this wasn't so tongue in cheek after all)
