1st time, 19, bad idea. 2nd time, 33 smarter, but it is still hard work to make a marraige.

I was 18 when I got married I think now that I have been married for 3 years that it was way to young. I think that a good age would be about 25-30 because you have plenty of time to find the right person for you. I'm not saying that I would change anything in my life if I could but I would be older when I got married

20 and yes I do think it was a good age for me. It really depends on the couple, there is no set age or stage in life to get married. If it feels right, you will know. =)

I was 21; it was just a legality. As regards age, we were two of the "lucky" ones. By that I mean that we were not just in love (which is important, of course) but we both understood the meaning of committment. We didn't take relationships lightly. We had what it took to survive all the usual pitfalls that all relationships face.
What is a good age? Let me put it this way. What you need - at ANY age is:
1) a long list of common interests; things you like doing together, as opposed to totally separate interests and circles of friends.
2) a real sense of compromise, cause you're going to have different opinons about a LOT of things. Being able to come to a mutually acceptable conclusion is an important trait.
3) a real sense of forgiveness, because you're both going to screw up somehow. You're human. It happens.
If you have that, and can avoid arguing about either money or "small $__t, you'll be far ahead of most couples.

I was engaged 4 times before I finally found the perfect one. My engagements ended because one of us just wasn't mature enough to handle a lifetime commitment. I finally got married at 29. It was a good age for me because I had seen what makes relationships fail and what makes relationships work. I had been hurt and I had hurt and I knew what I need to do to make my husband feel loved from those experiences.
I really think that a person knows that they are at the right age to get married. Look inside yourself and see what you feel about it.

I was 20, and a single mom with a 2 year old daughter. I think it was a pretty good age, because that time around I had actually found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I wasn't going to let that get away.

I was 18 when I got married and the only good thing to come of it was my son. I was divorced by 24 and will not get married again until I finish school and am stable in my life. No more letting a man control me.

I was 19, now I'm 25 getting close to 26.
I was happy, am happy and anticipate continuing being happy with my husband.
I think 19 is quite young, however it really depends on the people involved. Of course I am a firm believer that True, Real Love is not very common, but a marriage can work without true love. I've seen many that did. People sometimes just develop a fondness for each other and can make it work. I don't know what you have in your situation.

We were both 22. It was a good age for us. We were ready and knew what we wanted out of life and how we were going to get there. We have not regretted it.
Everyone is different. There is no absolute good age to get married, because everyone matures and develops differently. I know people in their 40's who I doubt will ever be ready for the commitment marriage brings.

The first time I married, I was 18, way too young, I was single again at 25. This time, I was 39, educated, independant, and met a wonderful man. Been married 6 years now.
