What age did you get married?

My husband and I were 22, after being together since we were 14. My advice is to celebrate anything and everything--we went through so much champagne in the first year! Make time for long walks, happy hour picnics, moon gazing and morning coffee in the sun. Cut down on technology/phone usage and instead work on creating and crafting.

I was 18 and husband was 21. It’ll be 17 years for us this August.

I met my husband at 27 and we married at 29. I had a lot of anxiety about not fitting in with his family, so I'd tell myself that it's okay that we weren't close, yet. They'd get to know me over time. I dated my husband for a year and a half, before getting engaged, not them.

What I would teach myself is to take very seriously how she will follow your lead and that being a husband-father is a serious responsibility.

I was 30. My advice is don't become complacent, be disciplined about being your best self.

I was 19, he was 22. We’ve been married 21 years this summer. We met at 15 and 18 years old. Best advice I ever received was from my sister in law. She said to wait three years before having kids. Best advice - for us, anyway.

Spend those early years really enjoying life. When kids come along, your priorities change and you do life different. For us, it gets exciting to think how we will once again be able to do all sorts of adventurous stuff once we’re empty nesters. However, we have those early years that we enjoyed and built up so we are very content rearing the children. We are also instilling that love of life and adventure into them.

You’re family often reflects a lot about you and how you’re marriage will go.

My husband and I were both 22, and are 24 with our first little one on the way. My advice would be to enjoy it! Never stop striving for improvement in yourself and your relationship :)

Also, enjoy your wedding day, but remember it is about the two of you, not about having the best instagram photos or the most aesthetic ceremony. I did a straw poll and most of the women didn't even get to consummate their marriage on their wedding night, because they were exhausted from a day doing everything 'perfectly'. I prefer prioritising the important stuff!

Married since 2015. I was 31, he was 38.

I was 28. He was 36. I would tell myself to stop being so argumentative and bitter. I was not a good wife back then.

Don’t fuck it up!

29 It's a whirlwind of happiness - try not to forget to keep working out and don't put too much weight on! (Spoilers, I didn't do this! 4 years and 2 kids later and I'm back on the diet...)
