At the very least 18...20 if you're going to college (i hope u are). if u think the guy is a potential life partner, date him until you get thru college or are ready to handle a marriage.

That is a hard question, mostly because it depends on how mature both people are. I know people who have gotten married at 18 and stayed together for over 30 years, and I know people who have gotten married at 18 and divorced before they were 20. When in doubt, have a long engagement. Feel it out for any bumbs and problems. Don't rush into anything.

I think you should be at least in your early to mid 20s. I got married at 21, but sometimes I think I should have waited a little longer. You need to be mature enough and responsible enough to handle a long term relationship with all of the ups and downs that come with it. Too often young people get married because they want to get away from parents and have a sexual relationship. I strongly recommend living on your own for at least a year before marriage.

You never know when you will find that true love. You may find him when your five and be together for the rest of your lives. Getting married is a big commitment, and you should be mature enough to handle the resposibilities of marriage. I believe you should wait until your set in life earning a living and stable in a career first.

I dont think there's a specific age to get married but i think that you should first make sure you can take care of yourself instead of relying on your husband/wife to take care of you..... and dont just get married because your pregnant.. a lot of women tend to do that...

whenever you feel the time and person is right.
i say 25 b/c at that time you should have completed college, tried to work a real job, and have had a few years of general life experience.

depends on the age gap........ there is nothing wrong with an engagement ring for a few years...
