I've asked a few women and they all seem to be setting this timetable of when they "must" be married by. And I know women start planning for their wedding as early as 7, but is it really necessary to set those kinds of limits on when you're talking about marriage.

You've gotta appreciate Brian's perspective on this question. Tremendous insight and it's also what I was getting at by asking this question. I feel like the women I'm meeting want to be married around ages 26-28. I'm 24, I can't see myself really being able to be a husband until around age 29-32. That poses a conflict.

I told myself that i wanted to get married when i am totally finished with college and have a good job where as i dont have to depend on any man for anything. Cause to me if you set a certain time line, and you dont accomplish it, you would be setting a next one, then you would start pressuring every guy you meet to marry you. I say whenever you get married, you will get married, i have no need to rush into it.

Kinda, I never "planned" it at age 7, still haven't though. Limits? But yes for me, and for most because men want sex, and so comes children and it's not safe to have child over age 35. Well that was recently disputed, but I agree, I'd rather be safe. It's a little too old if u ask me. As they say, the clock is ticking. I'm not waiting. But I'm not gonna get desperate, I won't say I'll marry a friend or such, cuz I don't believe in it. I believe it's a lasting commitment. I agree, 26-30 is best, both have jobs. A fully developed brain. Can rent a car.

I am 37. I always thought I wanted to be married by 26. In fact i got married when I was 27. I think that you are right to wait till you are a little older. Back then I couldn't understand why my boyfriend was saying that he wanted to wait until he was 36. I realise now that even at 27 I probably wasn't ready. Women do feel a certain pressure because it is said that the younger you have children the less likely it is that the children will be born with sth wrong with them, and also you become less fertile as you get older.
I separated from my husband last year. I have a new partner now. I believe that I am much more mature now, and am better equipped to make a marriage work. I know myself better, and what I want from a partner and from life. This is what you need before you decide to get married....you need to know yourself and what you want from life.

From my experience, most women feel that between 26-30 is the best age. For men, most men think that between 30-35 is the best age. This is much older than in prior decades primarily because I think people are aging much slower now--among other reasons.
There seems to be two reasons for the answers given by most women and men that I've spoken with or heard speak on the subject. Women generally have an easier time with childbirth if accomplished in their late 20s and early 30s as opposed to later on. Men find it more desirable to be married more toward 35 nowadays because by then they are more established in their careers and self-image while still being relatively young given today's advancements in medicine and exercise physiology.

Well, I want to have 2 (and only 2) children and I want to have them both by the time I'm 30 or 31, so I want to get married when I'm 25 or 26. The idea of getting married when I'm already in my 30's has never been appealing to me. It might be to others, but I definitely want to get married when I'm younger.

No I don't think that there is a certain age. It is a decision that too many take lightly and I for one feel that is the reason the divorce rate is so high because people settle for there mate because they want to be married.

i was married at 25. sometimes i think it was a bit too early but then again, you never know when your (doom) day will come, so maybe it wasnt too early. just go with your heart! i did.
