A good age to get married would be around 24. After college.
I think you should at least know and be dating a man for at least two years before you decided on marriage. Safe sex before marriage is acceptable to me because even though sex isn't everything a marriage needs to last, it's definitely a factor and you might want to make sure your compatiable in the bedroom as well as the outside. I don't think you should have sex with someone intil you are sure you are compatiable in every other way.

Well I personally think that any age over the age of 25 is a good age to get married..and you shuld kow the guy for at least two years and live with them for alteast a year that way you know thier habits. I really can't give you an answer for the sex before marriage cause I didn'tw ait until i was married..but on the other hand if i could take it back I wouldn't have had sex as young as i did..That choice is all up to you.. u will know if the time is right or wrong weather it be before or after you get married.

I think the ages between 25 and 30 are the right ages to get married because you should have some kind of college education (or decent, steady job), and know what you truly want in life. Knowing and being with the guy for at least 2 or 3 years is good before getting married (people can change!). Sex before marriage is so common nowadays but it's a personal choice. And I would wait at least 3 months when dating someone to have sex with them. That's just me, though! Good lucky =)

About age 23 is good. For me, getting to know the guy went in stages of "2". Two years of dating, two years of engagement, and then after two years of marriage, we had our first baby. Two years after that, another baby. I don't know what it is with "2", but it kept a good flow...not too fast, not too slow. We had sex while we were dating, but not until six months into the dating. I believe sex is good before marriage because then you know if you are compatable sexually. Sex is an important part of the relationship, like the other aspects. If that doesn't work, then there would most likely be problems. Anyway, that's just my experience. I hope it helped. :)

Definitely in 20s at least, but more important is that you have a chance to live on your own, school, travel, party, work, figure out who you are and what you want in your life. Then find a compatible partner who can accompany you and encourage you towards your goals.
For me I think I'd want to know someone at least 6 months before considering marriage and at least a year (or more) before getting married.
Sex before marriage, fine... but personally I prefer waiting until a consistent relationship is established. And I say that with the experience of casual sex, or early on in dating, and truthfully it's just 100x better when you're in love :)

28 - 32. by that time you are already stable financially & emotionally. You need sometime to really know the inside & out of a guy so I suggest you date him not lesser than a year. You have to know his family as well. I may sound conservative if I tell you that I personally don't agree with premarital sex. But we are now in computer age. Sex before marriage is already acceptable by society. Its your choice. Let your heart & mind decide.

You should become good friends and get to know the person better before rushing into romance. Give at least a year.... Sex before marriage will not bring anything good, it should be kept for your spouse someone who would share his life with you and truly love you. When you're blinded by too much kisses and other physical stuff you can't make a good judgement. concerning age, between 23,24 is preferrable.... you'd be mature enough and you'd have done at least some studies and work to support your family.

Age wouldn't really matter, what matters is if you are ready to have a married life, and all the responsibilities attached to it (budgeting, house and office work assignments, etc.)
About sex before or after marriage, it is also on your own descretion. But sex after marriage would be the best choice, for you can be assured that your partner would be responsible for anything that may happen.
Hope I was able to help. =D

Get married: 25
Know the guy: 2-3 years
Sex before marriage: I used to be against it, until I started having sex. It's good to try it. It's normal for one to feel like having sex, but be responsible about it... and I'd rather do it after dating or it can become a "sex only" relationship.

marriage, for a girl after 25
for a guy after 30
you should know each other at least 6 months, but longer is better, should live together for at least 3 months,
sex before marriage is ok, even should be done. why wait. and its much safer to find out those things before having to get divorsed over something that should have been known before.
