Well, then how old do you think is appropriate?

not at all too young, and the best part is you will both still be young enough to find second husbands and wives after the divorce. Best wishes....

Depends on the guy and the girl. People are different.
A man or woman who is not ready to take responsibility for their own lives would not be mature enough to add the responsibility of sharing their lives.
Some never mature enough. Others are ready at those ages and some even younger.
So depends, are they ready and aware to accept what it means to be married, that it is NOT like dating, that the daily living with someone else can get to you, annoy you, that you need to accept each other for they are, that the pressure of paying the bills, budgeting funds, etc can create tension. That no matter how much you know you need to talk things out and be sensible there will be times when emotions get the best of you and angry words can happen, can they forgive those times.

I was 23 and my husband was 19 when we got married. Some people thought we were too young then. We've been married for 17 years. Literal age isn't the only factor when considering marriage. Are you both emotionally mature? Are you both responsible? Do you respect each other? If so, then those ages are not too young. best wishes.

While many parents and many religions will preach that the perfect age for marriage is 25 or over and the perfect age for child bearing is 29 and over, The fact is that legally you are both over 21 and can therefore can make your own decisions as to your marital status.
The heart does not understand the laws and beliefs of man, but rather only knows when it has found someone that it is willing to shar the rest of it's life with.

It depends on how mature you are. I would suggest that you need to live a little before getting married. This does not mean that you need to go out bed hopping. You need to get some life experience before marriage and children. The 20's were the best years of my life and I would not trade that time for anything, it gave me time to find out who I was and continue to develop the person i wanted to be. I did not meet my husband until I was 28 and we still did not get married until I was 31.

I really don't think age matters once you are on your own and not living with your parents. I almost married a 27 year old guy when I was 21 if that makes ya feel better.

The appropriate age for getting married is 106, and not a day sooner.

Not at all. I was 27 and my wife 24 when we were engaged and you ages aren't that far off. It is appropriate when you both want it. You're both of age.

Not too young at all. Maybe if you are asking this question then you are not emotionally mature enough for marriage.

i believe that the its different to every person. if you both think that you are ready to move on to the next stage in life where there isnt anymore YOU but US. its a big thing to adjust and it takes more than love to get through it unless with commitment and trust
