what is a good age to get engaged?

Question

opinions please!

Answer 1

Any age (over the age of consent) is a good age if you find the right person. I met the guy I married in July, we were engaged in September and married the following April. I was 19 and he had just turned 21. 30 years later we are still together. Obviously, we found the right person to get engaged to.

Answer 2

As per a recent study done, and this was on the news recently, the best age is after 24. The best age to get married is after 25. This because females and males tend to be fully developped and caught up with each other by this time. They've also had enough time to understand themselves, they're surroundings, and a chance to start a career, or understand what career they will be starting. In either case, I think the best time to get engaged is after the 2 year hump. The first year is puppy love, we all know that. No one can do any wrong. But then the second year comes around, and little things like how he brushes his teeth, or if she snores at night start to urk you. You get more comfortable with each other, and therefor more arguements might arise. I say, if you've passed the two year hump, can live together without too many conflicts, and have the same goal at the end of the day. Go for it! (Sorry my answer was so long, but I hate when people give crappy one liners). :) Good luck.

Answer 3

Well, I am 18 and very recently engaged: but my fiance and I have been together for 3 and a half years, he is out of college and already with a job, and we are waiting a good while to get married. It's all about maturity- within the relationship and the individuals. 18 is young.. definitely.. but we have been in it for the right reasons from the start and love each other unconditionally. If those things are all true, and you have the finances to support the marriage, I say go for it. The worst thing in the world, though, is to start a life with someone and not be able to afford a happy lifestyle.

Answer 4

I personally think whenever you feel your ready. There really can't be an age because people get married for the wrong reasons these days. Getting engaged is one step, planning a date is the next. I have friend that's been engaged for 3 years now.

Whenever you feel is right and depends on your relationship. Best of luck to you!!

Answer 5

25

Answer 6

There is not a good age to get engaged, you can get engaged at any age, I am 43 and my fiancee is 46 and we will be getting married in March. We are very happy and ready to make this big step!

Answer 7

It depends on your life experience, maturity, priorities and goals. If you want to get married and 'settle down' and start having children, then you should wait until you've done everything else you wanted to do like travel, go to college, find a good job and reach some sort of financial security and of course when you are ready to make that commitment to a sedentary life with a partner who is right for you. If you're like me and don't think marriage has anything to do with 'settling down' financial security and children, then you can get engaged whenever you are ready to make that commitment to be with another person.

Answer 8

I think its more about where you are at in life and in a relationship. If you are comitted and ready for the next step, go for it! If i had to pick an age i would go with 22 and on. After first 4 years of college is done and people usually transition from that college aged young adult to adulthood!

Answer 9

I have told my girls I will not pay for their weddings unless they are 25 or older. You need to be out of school and able to support yourself before you get married. You also need to be mature enough to know what you want and need in a partner. I think you should be together at least two years before getting married.
