What's a smart age to get married at these days?

Question

For both men and women, what do you think in today's world is a proper age to get married?

Answer 1

30 or older. After you have done all your wild parties, and realized you don't want to do them anymore, after you have dated so many people you have had enough, after you have "sown all your wild oats"!!! Have you lived alone, travelled alone, spent time alone and were comfortable and happy with yourself - thats a good time to know when your mature enough to be with someone else. I think you have to love who you are before you can merge with someone else. Make sure that you have done all you want to by yourself - then when you meet the person of your dreams you can share yourself and do all the things you loved to do alone with them!! Good luck n God Bless - I hope you find the love of your life!

Answer 2

I would say after 30 - I got married my first time at the age of 24 and it was a mistake, and of course, I didn't want to hear people telling me I was too young. The only blessing that came from that marriage is my daughter. Not only did I not know myself, but didn't have the maturity I have now (at 43) to be able to handle situations that arose in the marriage in the right way. I am now, at peace with myself and know exactly what I want and what I don't want. When you're younger your view of what you want in a marital partner and marriage itself, it very different than it is when you're a bit older. I am getting married for the second time next year and this time it's all gravy, I know me, I know what I want and I have what I want. Aside from that, my advice is take time for youself. Know yourself, have fun doing things you want to do, date different people - then you have no regrets later.

Answer 3

There is no right answer for this question. It's all relative to the people in the relationship, the places that they are in their lives, and how responsible they are.
My partner and I are obviously engaged, but there is no date set for our wedding, because we are in no position financally to afford a wedding that we would be happy with at this point on our lives. I'm still trying to get through school, and he is having difficulties finding work in his field here in our area.
We've been living together for almost a year, and our committment is strong, however I am younger then most brides to be these days, as I am only 20 years old.

Answer 4

I don't think there's a 'proper' age. I would say however, not before 20. Anytime after that if you are in love and can live on your own financially and if you really want to spend the rest of your lives together.

Answer 5

NEVER!! lol jk

When you find the one that you trust, respect, cherish and confide in as your best friend. You really cannot put an age on it, people mature at different levels.

Between 25 and 30 maybe!? Give yourselves time to get through school, begin a career and have some financial security.

Answer 6

age 28

Answer 7

I would say late 20's to 30's. At that age, most people have settled in their careers and have finished their education. It is sad when kids marry too young and have kids, therefore diminishing their economic potential.

Answer 8

After the age of 25, when you are in a stable job and have decided on what you want to be when you grow up.

Answer 9

I'd say between 22 and 24. Plenty of time for job and stuff. Also you have enough tme to see which girl is best for you. So you wont need to file a divorce one month later.

Answer 10

Somewhere around 62
