I think I would want to get married around 24 or 25. That way I'm sure I'm with the right girl.

I married at 21, he was 25. I could of used a little more time to grow up, he on the other hand was completely ready! Maybe at 25 I would of been ready too! I'd go with age 25-35!

I think that it is about the right age. I think that any younger than 20 is way to young. My belief is that you should be out of high school for at least a couple of years and preferably lived on you own for a while. There is a huge maturity difference between 20 and 25, and maturity makes a big difference.
I think that the important thing is that you find someone who you love, who shares similar values, is the same religion and you have the same views on raising children. I also believe that it is important to take some time to get to know someone. I think that a courtship should last a minimum of 9 months but no longer than 2 years. If you can't make it work after two years, then you probably can't ever make it work. Any less than nine months makes it hard to really get to know who the person really is. All you see is the nice person they put on while dating. We all do that. I think it is vital to make sure that you are all on the same page. I was married at 21, I am no longer married. It was not the age so much as we did not take the time to get to know each other and our values were so much different.
Just take your time, Don't rush things and make sure that you are ready and that it is the right thing.

ok.. coming from someone who has made mistakes in their life. I had children at 18 married at 19, divorced and remarried. I am teaching my children the right things to do..
Now, because I got pregnant at such a young age, college at the time was out of the question. I had a baby to support and a husband at the time that didnt like to work.. so I put that off..I am now completing college at 33 years old, I wish I could have gone right out of high school.. but due to my situation, I couldnt.
Here is the ideal situation. Graduate high school and complete college around the age of 24. After college gain work experience. While working, put away some money. Then around 26.. get married. This way you have a secure resume, a job, money in the bank and no worries.

You're right that it is very important to know that you're with the right person. I don't think there is one ideal age. It depends what someone is doing at a given age. I used to be hung up on being married by 30. Now, I am 32 and engaged to a wonderful guy. I'm glad I waited and didn't marry just to be married by a certain age. Best of luck to you!

There is no ideal age. It is when you and your partner determine it is the right thing and you both want to do it. I was married at 21 and it was the wrong thing to do. I was not mature enough at all. I knew that going down the aisle but for whatever reason I kept walking. It only lasted 8 months before I filed for divorce. I got remarried at 32 and am very happy. When it's the right time and person you'll know.

There is no ideal age. It depends on maturity level and compatibility only. I got married when I was 18, my husband was 19, and we have a wonderful marriage. I have friends that waited until their mid-twenties and ended up with marriages that didn't even last a year. In most cases, older is better, but not always.

there is no ideal age. there is an ideal maturity level but that depends on the circumstances of the couple involved. i have seen 18 marry and make a great marriage. and i have seen 40 somethings marry and make fools of themselves. it is all about the individuals involved.

I think at least 20 and for me personally I want to travel and possibly go into the peace corp first, so between 27 and 30, assuming I find the right guy ;)

You cannot put a time or age on something like this. It is just something that happens and when it feels right then that is when you decide to get married... Just go with the moment.
