I plan to get married at 23 or 24, which is much younger than I ever thought I would. My rational is that we are in love and I won't live with my boyfriend before marriage. We will both have our bachelor's degrees, will have worked/gone to grad school, will have lived on our own, and will have gotten all of our craziness out of us.

At 22. You're right out of college and learning independence. PLUS you learn you don't HAVE to have a man to make you feel complete.
Anything younger and you have yet to grow. From 18-22 (even 25!) you go through SO many different changes. Marriage is a HUGE commitment, and it's not really as easy as Hollywood makes it. A relationship has to get beyond the honeymoon stage. Anyone who says something like "Oh we've been in the honeymoon stage for 17 years" is lying to someone.

I got married when I was 24 which was a perfect age for me because I was finished with my grad program, had a master's degree, and was on my way to a good career. There is no magical age for getting married but I really think both partners need to be financially, emotionally, and spiritually stable.

I would wait until at least 30 - you are such a different person when you are out of your 20s than you are during your 20s, a more complete person and more capable of appreciating and recognizing the commitment you are making. That being said, I am 35 and have never been married, so I don't know if I waited too long.

In short, when you're emotionally & mentally mature. For some people that's 18, for some people, never. I'd say mid-20s on average. For me, it was different. . .
When I got engaged at 18, my parents made me promise that I wouldn't get married until I was 22, the age that they were married. It worked for them - 35 years together. I followed my parent's advice, and ended up dumping the guy who asked me to marry him at age 18. Thank you mom & dad! But I did end up getting married at 22, and I've had several very happy years with my husband.

I don't think their is a minimum age... just a legal one but you should do the following first.
1. be able to support yourself
2. be able to secure a good job- after college or some sort of training.
3. Travel some where outside your country at least once!!
4. Live by yourself for at least 1 year- it's AMAZING!!!

Personally or for people in general? I would say at least over 21 for both guys and girls. You don't know yourself until you are a little bit older... My sister was married at 20 and had a really rough time at first because she and her hubby were both so young! Personally, I think the perfect age is about 25 or so.

Well, in our country, you have to be 18 years old. I got married when I was 25 and I am now 29. I was engaged before that, I was 20 years old. I guess it would all depend on the person and their mentality and what they want out of life. I was ready to get married when I was young because I wanted to start my life and have a family. Like I said, it all depends on the person and what is going on in their life and if they do believe that they have found their true love.

I currently do not plan to ever get married, but if I were to it woud not be before the age of 25. I could drink at my own wedding for the toasts, I would already be graduated from college, I would already have had a job to support myself, and I would have had a few years post college to live by myself and figure out who I was before I attached myself to someone else.

you could get beauty surgical treatment at any age in case you want it. If it truly is beauty, it relies upon on the well being care specialist. you want parental consent once you're below 18, yet i'm fairly confident beauty beauty surgical treatment must be achieved at any age, so long because the well being care specialist would not discover it unethical. Britney Spears were given a boob pastime at 15. Many highschoolers get nostril jobs. yet till you stay in Beverly Hills, it is going to likely be confusing to discover someone prepared to do it.
