which is the best age for marriage?

Question

I'm 20 years old.

Answer 1

That's a tough question. It depends on where you are in your life and how mature you are. It also depends on if you are in a serious relationship and what maturity level your partner is at. Financial security is another issue to examine. Would it be a smart move at this point in your life?
I got married when I was 19 and am still married 13 years later but I was not mentally ready when we got married and it led to some real rocky times. Thank God we made it through. From my experience, I would say it would have been smarter to wait till my mid-twenties.

Answer 3

My parents and my sister and her husband were married within months of graduating college (making them 22) and their marriages have been extremely successful, and the same can be said for other people i know who didnt get married until their early 30's. I would recommend at the very least that you and your prospective fiancee are out of college before you wed, and that you have some plan of a place to live afterwards, like an apartment. If you feel sure enough and the both of you are mature enough and can afford it, i don't see what good waiting will do, age does not equal wisdom.

Answer 4

I think they should make it age 18 or whatever the law states when a person is an adult. I've read of young brides trying to get a divorce and the courts say they aren't old enough to bring a petition for divorce, so whatever the legal age is to do that should be the legal age of marriage.

Answer 5

It depends on the person! Just because your 20 doesn't mean you are not mature and in love. I am 21 and just recently got married and I love it. I think what the problem is that when a problem arises the first thought is lets get a divorce, and when you get married divorce should be the last thing on your mind. Marriage is hard if your not willing to trust, communicate, compromise, love, and work hard at it then it doesn't matter how old you are it will never work!

Answer 6

i think age doesn't dictate the maturity of a person towards marriage, the reason why there are divorces or failed marriages. it's not just about being financially and physically ready to raise a home or family. anybody who feels they can handle or work on a lifetime commitment may consider marriage. and of course, they should be of legal age to marry=)

Answer 7

25 through 30

Answer 8

It all depends but I guess the best age for marriage is
in your 30's or when you truly feel you can commit to another person for the rest of your life(marriage should be for life, in my opinion!).
Twenties seems way too young these days.
There is always SO much for young people to do today. Study, careers, having lots of fun/dating, partying, socialising, etc.
For women, it's perfectly fine to marry in your 30's now without having to panic about "your fertility clock".
Women are having babies in the mid-late thirties(even forties) without complications.
I would say just enjoy the life you have now and don't even think about marriage until your really ready to commit to someone you deeply love.
Also, in this economic climate, it's best to get yourself established in your career/employment and housing situation before you consider "tying the knot"
Now is the best time to get your little "nest egg" ready if your desire is to marry, etc.
You will need just enough money to cover most expenses (and thats just not the wedding).
When kids come along, boy will you need some more money!!!
Good luck and please just enjoy your life now. You are SO young with SO much ahead of you. Just enjoy yourself!!!!

Answer 9

I would have to say 30 i am 27 and in relationships I had in my early 20s I thought i was in love now that I am older I see that it wasnt anything like the love I feel for my current partner. We are planning on getting married next year and I feel grateful that I had my 20s to myself

Answer 10

If you are both in your 20s that would seem ideal. A couple should not have children much after their 30s. And save your money to buy a house, it will be with you a lot longer than a big wedding.
