I am 24 years old. I have no boyfriend (well not yet at least) but I really want to get married and start a family of my own. I went to college and got my bachelors degree in business and landed a pretty good job. I'm not the type who likes partying all the time. I just want to settle down now. If I am too young to be thinking about marriage what else can I accomplish in my life??

No, I'm 24 and I think about marriage. I'm a graduate student and still have yet to start my career. You're missing a large part of the whole equation though: a guy. Don't waste your time thinking about marriage until you meet someone who you want to marry. Plus. don't discuss marriage with guys when you start dating. For many guys our age that is still a scary topic. Don't worry about any of it now. Just enjoy your career and look for someone who wants to settle down as well. When you meet the right person I'm sure things will work out. Until then don't stress about it. You haven't even found the guy yet. :)

"what else can I accomplish in my life?" Wow do you really think that at 24 you have conquered it all, except for marraige and children? There is so much more to life than that. Travel, see other lands, people. Volunteer, make use of your talents. Teach, to those without the many benefits you have had. Become a BigSister to an underprivileged girl.
When the time is right, and the right person comes into your life, then you may decide that marraige is the next step. Don't rush your life away.

You are not too young at all. It is never too young to think about it. (I do think there is a time when it is too young to actually DO, but you aren't there, either.) You can accomplish all your goals, including a marriage. Marriage is NOT the end; it is the beginning of a new part of your life.
However, do not make the idea of marriage the central part of your being. Being married does not define you as a person, and chances are your Mr. Right will come when least expected. I know mine did.

Since I have no idea you or your husband I don't have any inspiration whether or not your marriage will final. HOWEVER, the data are in opposition to you. People who get married that younger almost always have not lived lengthy sufficient to recognize the truly international and what a dating takes to final. At 18, you had been nonetheless a baby (legally an grownup, however your mind wasn't performed constructing). Getting married that younger after which having youngsters approach you in most cases is not going to get the schooling you want in state-of-the-art international to be financially steady. At your age you consider that every one a wedding demands is love - that is no longer the case. Marriage is rough, rough paintings and is made even tougher through youngsters, notably if you happen to wouldn't have the monetary backing to handle yourselves. Again, I have no idea you, however I do not consider younger marriages have an overly well danger at lasting. I am 23 and feature been married for 3 months. However, my husband and I each have tuition levels, have complete-time jobs and had been financially unbiased of one another and our mom and dad earlier than we obtained married.

not too young at all! I am 25 and got married 3 months ago. Most of us are ready to take that step after we start our careers and actually become stable. Most of my friends still party like they did in college...it is really sad and they will be too young to think about marriage until they grow up and get a life!

When I was 24, I was ready for marriage. Now I was dumb and married the wrong person because I was in a real hurry to get married...so I have 1 divorce under my belt. But, you should get married when you want to spend the rest of your life with one person and that one person only. You might be ready to be married but don't just rush into it. Take your time to find the right person for you. It will all be worth it.

I think 24 is a nice age to start thinking about a family, especially since you have a nice job now and you don't sound like a wild person. Even so, don't rush into a relationship too quickly. Take your time and get to know a person REALLY good before even dating them. And don't be too picky; no one is perfect. Then again, don't settle, either. :) Hope all goes well!

no you are not to young to start thinking about marriage. but at least you got college out of the way now and have a good job, so congrats on that.
don't rush into marriage though. you don't have a boyfriend now, but am sure he will come along when you least expect it.. you are still young, so you still have a few years now to find Mr. Perfect.
nowadays, women don't get married till after their 30's! I am not saying wait that long, but don't feel pressured.. good luck.

24 is not young at all. I was 19, almost 20, and my husband was 21 when we got married.
You have accopmlished what you wanted in life, all you need is to find the right guy.

Well obviously you cannot get married anyway unless you are seriously seeing someone and it is heading there. I'd say-find other things to do with your life until you meet the right man. There is no exact perfect age on marriage, but I will tell you, if I had it to do all over again: I would not have gotten married or had kids until I hit 30.
