Everyone has different ideas about the ideal time to marry. <\/p>\n

I’ve heard numbers as diverse as 18 and 33.<\/p>\n

My answer will somewhat vary.<\/p>\n

I think that depends on the relative ages of those intending to marry.<\/p>\n

I have already invented a keen equation for determining one’s marriagable range<\/a>–and now I’ve created a variation on the same theme. A calculator to determine the date at which any pair can first marry.<\/p>\n

Simply enter the elder’s date of birth in the first line and the younger’s date of birth in the second. Press the “calculate” button and there you have it.<\/p>\n

Older Date of Birth (MM\/DD\/YYYY): <\/td>\n\n\/

Younger Date of Birth (MM\/DD\/YYYY): <\/td>\n\n\/

When I was growing up, if any of us children sang at the table, we’d be admonished with my grandpa’s words–<\/p>\n

“If you sing at the table, you’ll be married before you’re able”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This was a puzzle to all of us, since we couldn’t figure out how one could<\/i> get married if they weren’t able<\/i> to get married.<\/p>\n

But, according to this little calculator, one could<\/i> (legally) get married before one was able<\/i> (mathematically).<\/p>\n

So…tell me, were you married before you were able?<\/p>\n

When did you get married–and when was the first date you and your spouse were “able” to marry?<\/p>\n

\n

For the record, once we children reached a certain age, this particular “threat” (of marrying before we were able) became more of an <\/i>incentive for singing at the table.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
