When I was younger, like around 12, I used to think I would get married right after I graduated from high school. Today, I'm 24, single, and currently have no prospects in sight. I guess that didn't work out as I planned it. And to be honest, I'm glad it didn't. And that's not necessarily because I don't want to get married. Quite the contrary. I just now know that I wasn't quite ready for marriage when I first got my high school diploma. Plus, in the area in which I grew up, it's kind of the norm to get married young, and I have to admit, I tend to enjoy going against the grain. heh

That is not to say that marrying young is always a bad thing. There are a lot of married couples who took their vows at young ages and enjoy strong marriages. Then again, most of them went through some tough times. However, tough times sometimes have the ability to strengthen a relationship.

I guess you just have to use your own good judgement and decide what's right for you.

Now i'm 20, i will prefer to marry at around 26 or 27,...i don't intend or prefer to marry now or before when i was younger because marrying demands too many things which until now, i'm still trying to understand...and accept...By prefering or planning to marry when i'll get a little more older(matured), i will still have the chance to be thoroughly prepared with the real marriage situations/setting(i wish and hope to be the better or even best wife and mom in the future).

Im 23 & have only been in 2 serious relationships, Im so glad I didnt marry my first boyfriend! I always thought I would be married by 22 & have my 1st baby by 24. Now that I'll be 24 in a few months, I realize how truly young I still am! Im not in such a rush as I used to be, I want to make the right decisions for my life.

In my opinion, it is best to marry when you are older. When you are oder you have more experience and been more things than a younger person. Also, as you become older you become wiser. Most young people who marry at an early age, they tend to have more issues/conflict in their relationship and tend to divorce moreso than if they would have waited til they were older. Think about it, if you are 18 years old getting married compared to being28 or 30 yrs old getting married, you will have 10 yrs and more of experience.
But everyone is different.

Well, I got married when I was 21, and have been married for 31 years now. Not having had any other experience to compare it to, and being quite content with how this has worked out so far, I will try to hold onto her for another 30 years or so. Who knows? Maybe it will work out if she doesn't wise up and find someone better.

Depends on what you consider older. I got married when I was 28 and I am glad I did. I enjoyed my early twenties for I have good memories of learning about myself and learning about life in general to look back on (and I am still learning). Living single with no kids in my early 20's was good. Now that I am older, I am enjoying my life with my husband.

do as you wish
but note
those who marry young ( up to 24 )
divorce at about 85% rate
those who marry older ( up to 35 ) divorce at 50% rate
those who marry beyond that divorce rate drops off due to the stability of the persons involved and maturity.

I married young and I think it is great, I wouldn't change it for the world. I think it greatly is terminated by the people and who they are and what they want. You can't rush love and if it is there when you are young then why not go for it, then again you may not know it is there till yo u are older. Basically it depends on the people and how you feel.

I tried both ways. I married the first time at 23. It was fun to be young and in love. I married the second time at 46. It wasn't as crazy and fun as the first time. However, my choice wasn't as good either!
