Whenever you feel that you are ready... emotionally and financially... No one else can be the judge of either.

It is not the age, it is the maturity and responsibilty level. Basically, if you are both out of school (college if applicable, but most definately high school). Early 20's is too young always. I would say no younger than 24. That is when you start figuring things out. But even at 24 you guys may not be ready. Does one of you have a career lined up that can support you both. Are you both mature enough to settle down. Some people never reach the mental age to meet these criteria. Others get them in their mid 20's. If you are too young (early 20's), just wait. Things have a way of changing as you get older. If you are 24+, evaluate your situation in life and see if you both are ready. If so, good luck. It is a beautiful institution.

When the young couple in love have enough sense to realize that just being in love isn't enough to sustain a relationship.
20 is much too young. LIVE first. I don't mean screw around and play the field, but hang out with friends, get an education, do something that you feel passionate about. Develop yourself before you commit to another.
P.S. No offense but if you have to ask a Yahoo board...then I think you need to wait a while.

I don't think its about age. You have to think about everything. Where are you two going to live? Can you afford your own place? You don't want to get married and live with one of your parents. Are you both responsible? Do you have good jobs and/or graduating college? And if you do and you love each other, then go for it. But if you are in between the ages of 18-24, statistics show that the divorce rate is 75%.

I met my husband when we were both 18, and we married at 23. We're still together and very happy, 15 years later. If it's right for you, it'll stay right. Just because you were lucky enough to meet the person you love early in life, doesn't mean you're missing out! However, only time will tell whether that's the case or not! Be happy together, and if in a few years you're STILL happy, that's great. If not, you're not faced with going through a messy divorce and end up hating eachother!
Good luck to you both.

It's not about age - it is about maturity and financial and emotional security. My husband and I were ready at 25 & 26 but I know couples who have married much younger and have been successful. I also know couples who have married later and couldn't make it work. Marry (or don't) when you feel it is right for you, don't let family or society pressure you into it.

there's no good age - it's just about when you guys are old enough to support yourselves and have a future plan.. do u both work (or does he work)? do u have a stable enough income to support married life? then go for it asap... statistically, that usually makes the couple at least 23 years of age before they'r stable enough to handle the responsibilities of a married life

When my husband and I got married, I was 27, he was 35. For us, those were exactly the right ages.
