” Most senior singles have been married at least once before.

Also, as a demographic, many boomers have invested in themselves and their personal growth over the years.

In my mind, I would have been a fool not to marry Ashley.

Yet so many people questioned my composure that I began to worry whether something was wrong with me.

The day I married Ashley, I must have been asked more than 50 times whether I was nervous.

The barrage of questions surprised me because I had no reservations about giving her my heart.

Not only does the media continually portray this path as the norm, but the people we surround ourselves with also provide a benchmark for when we think we should be getting engaged.

First and foremost, we found that the average length of a relationship before engagement is 44 months, or 3.67 years.

That’s almost an entire year longer than other studies have stated!

Committing your heart to someone is a huge decision.

If you choose poorly, you could suffer years of heartache or wind up abused or divorced.
