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?
