Answer 1

well to me there is no perfect age to get married.It all depends on if the two of you are really in love or not.I am now 17 and 7 weeks pregnant.My husband is 28.I got married when I was only 16.So in my opinion the best time is when you are ready to take on the responsibility of being a wife and step-mother.I am not saying don't do it but make sure you are ready.There is nothing I love more than being a wife,even thought it is not always easy.If you love him and he really loves you then when you feel like it go for it.

Answer 2

Getting married right now isnt the best thing you could do. I would advise you to finish school first so that you could get a good paying job. I know it seems very tempting especially if you see that your boyfriend is quite responsible and you think that he definitely could take care of you but it would really boost your confidence if you know that you can take care of yourself and you're not just being a burden to him. Another reason why you shouldnt get married yet is because women who get pregnant before 22 are at a higher risk of developing cervical cancer. The best age to get a baby is 22 to 28 because this is the time when your reproductive system is mature enough but not yet too old. Having a baby after 28 increases the risk that a baby with Down's syndrome will be conceived. Lastly, you shouldnt get married yet right now because decisions made height of emotions usually end up wrong. Obviously you are quite elated by the fact that he told you he wants to marry you and this might cloud your judgment. Think deeply if he is the man you truly want to be with for the rest of your life and if you answer yes, build up your future first so that when you do get married, you will have enough to suffice for you, him and your family.

Answer 3

I'd say 26...i say this because at this time, you'll have mostly been pretty steady and be familiar with your life here on out. 28 or so is a good time to have kids as well. not to old, not to young. that's the age I hope to get married at, if I want to at all.

but seeing as that you're only 16 and you've been together for awhile, then it's really when you're ready. no one can tell you when you're ready....duh. :0) For you, it may be as early as 18 or younger or maybe 20. Personally if I were in your position, I'd wait until I was in college and see how things are and see if you have time to plan a wedding.

But that's awesome. My friend (she's 16 also) got engaged last spring..i know, and she's planning on marrying her boyfriend when they graduate high school. all depends. :0) but that's great, and good luck!

Answer 4

When you have
(1) completed high school
(2) completed or are at least half way through any subsequent school (college or trade school) so that you have a career to look forward to AND
(3) when you have discussed children, money, careers, where you want to end up living, and other things that you won't be able to understand for a few more years.

Relax, have fun with your boyfriend and your other friends, and finish high school. Think about yourself now, because there will be plenty of years later to be concerned more with your children and other things.

WHAT? He has a kid with someone else? Unreal - Dump him. If he can't be responsible by using a condom, you're looking for real trouble. Ever take care of a baby for, say, a lifetime?

Answer 5

There really isn't a perfect age to be married. My husband and I had planned our wedding when I was 19 and we got married just last month. *I'm 20 now btw* so really it doesn't matter the age. He's a year older then me so all I can say is, as long as the love is still there, whenever you get married it's up to you. Best of luck to you.

Answer 6

A good age to get married is approx. 23-27. A bad age to have a child is 17-18.

Answer 7

without a doubt.... 25-26. that is when you are truely entering adulthood, not at 18 and not at 21.

unless you are pregnant... then all bets are off

HES A GOOD FATHER!!!!! WTH? does that mean he married the other girl and works a full time job and supports her and the baby and changes the diapers and rocks the baby to sleep and takes the baby to the doctor when its sick, deals with all the teething.. that hes providing health insurance through his employer? is that what you mean by a good father?

Kinda reminds me of "Don't be a Menace to South Central"... man... I used to change my Daddys diapers!

Answer 8

I would say 25 or 26 your still young but comming to the age of being responsible. I always thought that was a sensible age. But if you are in love and you both are ready for it and you can aford it then maybe earlier, but you should make sure you are ready and you can give eachother what you need.

Answer 9

The perfect age to get married is as soon as you feel ready. When you no longer feel pressured by society to have kids and get hitched, then the time is right. You must have just the right person at your side also. There is no given age at which you must get married.

And besides...who says you have to get married at all?

P.S. I got married when I was 26.

Answer 10

There is no "perfect "age. I was married at 17 had 4 kids divorced at 21.See how he treats his mom. If he treats her good you have an idea how he will treat you and then decide if you want to be married.

Answer 11

there is no perfect age! you fall in love when you fall in love! it's just that simple! but there is an average age. i would say prolly between 20 and 27 most ppl are either starting college, in college or graduated college when they get married!
