sorry people didnt realise that you would all get so caught up in the spelling issue. so here goes again.
What age should you marry at ?

There is no set age...its when you have met the right one and you are both ready. i'm one of the last of my friends to finally get married last year at age 26, and I felt totally ready. I was engaged a couple times before but i just knew that person wasn't right for me in the end. if you are not sure about the person you are with, have a long engagement and live with that person before you marry. good luck!

Hi i hate this question, there is no right or wrong age, the legal age is 16 with parents consent but if you are over 18 then it is up to you. It depends if you have found the right person, it takes some people ages to find the right person which is why now a days people are quite old when they marry. All people want to do now is sleep about with people just because they think its fun and the right thing to do, i know loads of people who have been in a long term relationship and have ended it just because people have said they should have more fun and live there lives more, then they have realised they have made a mistake want to marry the person they have let go, and they never get the person back. Trust me when you meet the right person you will now and age doesnt matter. Its up to you and you boyfriend as its you and him who are in the relationship and want to spend the rest of your lives together. So forget about everyone else. It doesnt really matter how long your engaged for either. Im getting married next year and we are both 20 we have been engaged for 3 years and where high school sweet hearts and still in love but people dont understand how you can still love the same person for so long. Just do what your heart tells you.

I've always thought 30 is a good age to get married but of course it all depends on if you've met the right person too. Getting engaged, I guess a year or two is enough if you've already been together a while before that.

I met my husband at the age of 14, we moved in together when I was 19 and married when I was 20, we now have a baby and I am 25. . This was right for me but every person is different, you are the only one that can answer your question. I have friends in their 30's in a relationship but feel that they are not ready to marry

The right age is the age when you feel that you have lived the single life to your limit and you feel it is time to settle down.
I married at 25 and 20 years later I still think it was the right decision, I had a blow out on cars and motorcycles before I got the mortgage and had the child, happy days !! but now my days are still happy with my wife and child. We were engaged 18 months before the marriage but that was down to financial reasons, we had to save for the wedding otherwise we would have married straight away. We then waited 7 years before our child just to make sure it was what we both wanted and agreed on just the one child, it works for us but you may be different.

My husband and I grew up together as kids, and we best friends - the really annoying-attachted-to-the-hip type. We started going out when we were 13, got engaged in secret at 16 (with a gorgeous gold and diamond 5/8 carat ring), went public with it a couple weeks after we turned both turned 18, and we now have a wedding date set for November 3rd, 2007. It depends on your maturity level and just how commited the two of you are. If you are just 'so in love' that you want to get married, dont. It'll just end up breaking both your hearts, because you might not always 'be' in love. It's when you both truly love each other and cant imagine life without the other that its getting closer to the real deal. And don't say that 'whenever we are apart, I feel so lost', because thats just being in love. Its true love when you are happy when you are apart, because you know that you have each other and you can feel them in your heart...

Most happy marriages/relathionships get started during the mid-late 20s (my parents married at age 26 & 27). That way, you'll be done with college, and more ready for the real world ahead. Engagement ring? I'd recommend about a year before marriage.

if your getting married, id say mid 20s. some people get married when there 17 to 20, but there not even at the legal age to drink! how do you go out with your new husband or wife and not even be able to have a drink or not even be able to enter certain clubs or bars. after getting engaged id say plan the wedding about 1 year out. that way you have enough time to save money and purchase things little by little as the year goes. trust me it will go by fast

You should wait until you've lived on your own. You have to be able to live alone before you can share your life with someone else. You don't want to be dependent in the relationship. At 23, I was too young. At 31, I'm more "myself". The more whole you are, the better chance the relationship will work. Age is only a small indicator.
