Hard to say. Wait till you're an adult? For some people, that takes many, many years.
I think it is best to wait until you are set up financially and solid in your job/life. Finish college, maybe travel a little, be a "grown up", on your own, finding out "who you are" before you become part of a couple.
I think that's the reason for so many divorces (and i have one under my belt). People jump in to marriage before they know who they are, what they want in life, etc.
I got married at 18, and divorced at 33....I was a completely different person...and so was my ex.....neither one of us was a bad person, we were just different. When we got married, all we wanted was to be together (nice idea)...but as we grew up, I just wanted to be a "mom"....I wanted a family, we had two boys, I wanted another child. When he "decided" that we weren't having another child, I was devestated. As our children grew (they are now 15 and 16), the thought of an empty nest was more than I could stand. His work had become his life, his focus, and in the end, there wasn't a marriage, or a family.
Know who you are, and more importantly, who you're marrying, because long story short.....everyone is going to change, just be ready for that.

The age(s) at which both parties feel ready and have experienced enough of life and relationships, as adults, to be in a good place to make the decision to settle down with someone for life or long-term.

As long as you are an adult and legal and there is not so called right age to marry.... in my opinion.... You will know when it feels and if it is right for you or not. Age really has nothing to do with it.

well the right age for me was 24,but as for anyone Else i couldn't really say,i think it all depends on the two people involved,the amount of commitment needed for the marriage to survive

Putting an exact number to it is hard. It's more about emotional maturity. Most, if not all, people are not mature enough to succesfully handle marriage until they are in their mid to late twenties. A lot of people are never mature enough to handle it.

i think the right age for marriage is when you are mature enough to make a lifelong commitment. when you feel you are ready to give yourself to another. when you love them with your whole heart and not just your head. when you can help provide for one another. thats my opinion.

i think 25 usually the person is established in what kind of career they are looking for.most have good credit and are thinking of a home.they have a better picture on ups and downs on what they are looking for in a partner,absolutely more mature.

Oh, I would say late 30s or around 40. You are mature enough to know what you want and how you want it.
