What is a good age to get married? And Why?

Answer 1

There is no one answer to that question.
It is too important an event in your life to be pinned down to one age. Also the question implies you are focused on marriage as a kind of point of arrival. You should be focused on life and finding the right person to marry is incidental to that life (although probably inevitable.)

So in my opinion the right time to get married is the point where you have found the right person. Otherwise the marriage would be a waste of two lives.

Some people can handle getting married really young. I think thats fine but you have to be extra mature to make that work. One day you will almost certainly be faced with the thought of what would have happened if you hadn't gotten married and you will need that maturity to deal with it.

Don't get married because you are fearful of losing your partner if you don't get married. That fear is a warning sign that perhaps you aren't really compatible.

Do pop the question if the possibility of the answer being no almost makes you sick. Does that make sense ? That is because you have probably have your soul mate and know you can't "live" without them.

Answer 2

Age is only a number to me. My husbands parents married in 1976 at the tender age of 18 & 19. They've been happily married for 30 years. My parents also married in 1976 at the tender age of 18 & 26 (dad is the older one). They have NOT been happily married for the last 6 or so years. I don't know why they haven't divorced yet, it's an awkward situation.

I got married at 22 (husband is 25). My brother was 23 and his wife 21. My maternal grandparents were both 23 and just celebrated their 50th anniversary. My paternal grandparents were 26 (granddad) and 24 (grandmother). If my grandfater were still alive they would have celebrated their 64th anniversary.

Anywho, I got married young because I've always been very mature. I'm not tooting my own horn either. I graduated high school early (simply because I didn't feel I needed to be there and didn't want to fill my senior year with bogus art classes- I had all my credits my junior year), I went to college while my friends were still in high school, I bought my first new car at 18 with no help from mom or dad (they believe in making us pay our own way), and bought my first HOME when I was 20. My fiance and I got engaged when I was 20 and we lived together the whole time. From engagement to wedding, we had lived together for right at two years. And it was wonderful. We got to see how we could balance finances (who pays what bills, can we afford cable, home repairs, ect.). Actually we had to buy a new washer & dryer a month before we got married (there went $1200) and we had to file an insurance claim for our roof a month after we got married. Also, we got to see each others habits, which I think is a HUGE arguement for newly wed couples. My husband and I saw how the others lived (he piles laundry instead of washing it, and I an very picky about the cleaning- he's not allowed to touch my vacuum cleaner).

I think it's all about the maturity level of the couple.

Answer 3

My personal answer is at least 26 and preferebly older because you then have a chance to grow up some, get yourself together in a career path, anf get to know yourself and find out who you are and what you what to do and what you want of life. At least somewhat. Before 26 most people are too young and really don't know who they are and what they want and it is a huge mistake to marry somebody for the rest of your life not knowing these things. When you do eventually find out you may find yourself with the wrong person and then it is a very difficult situation to be in. Some people are truely ready before the age of 26 and some are not ready until they are in their 30's however. Basically you need to be ready emotionally and financially and there is more of a chance of that being in your later 20's. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer 4

I honestly don't think there is a specific number, it all depends upon circumstances. These days, it's best for both males and females to get some form of post-secondary education and embark upon a career, get some work experience under their belts, live out on their own and experience the real world. That should be done before marriage, I think. People change SO much between like 18 and 25, and then again from 25 to 30 - you grow as a person, with your life experiences, and friends and family, so you don't want or like the same things you did the previous five years.

Answer 5

the age does not matter it is how mature you are... you could be 18 and be responsible, mature and accountable and you can be 35 and be a complete ***.

I got married at 25 and I still have issues, so it does not matter age is how well do you handle the day to day situations and your partner plays a key role because this is a 2 people package so yo maybe up to the challlenge but the other part is it?

Good luck average for marriage according to experts is 29 to 32 in some countries in USA is 32 to 35

other thing want to have kids? best age to have kids for women is 26 to 32 after that risks start to climb

Answer 6

The age were you find yourself mature enough to handle a life long commitment. I would say 30 it would give you time to get your partying out and do all the things before marriage like school and a career. You could have your children before your 40 and then spend the rest of your life raising them right. It sounds logic but a lot of people think they would be too old to start a family by then.

Answer 7

Over the age of 22/23.

You understand your independence (hopefully) and hopefully you're also beyond the honeymoon stage.

Anything under 22/23 and you're in for a HUGE surprise. Marriage isn't just about the wedding, like most 18 year olds think.

Answer 8

There's no certain age that makes it right to get married. When ever you and a partner are ready that's when the good time is. Ready emotionally and financially.

Answer 9

It's not the age it's the person. When you feel you can live with the person the rest of your life. When you are ready to settle down. Me myself I will never marry. I don't want anyone to think they own me!

Answer 10

Twenty-five to twenty-seven should be a good age to think of marriage. You should have learned to save by this time or you never will. You should have a decent education, either through college or trade school by this time too. You also should have met enough people to know who the right one is.
