When is the right time to get married?

Question

after college or before?

Answer 1

After college is easier I think then you don't have to worry about classes and the stress then can come with them once you've graduated you can get a career going and a nice nest egg set then get married, college students struggle for money, newly married people struggle for money, why make the struggle worse by being both a newlywed and a college student.

Answer 2

Everyone has different reasons why and when they get married. I think some of these basics hold true for anybody though: you two are sure you are ready to get married, you have found the right person and are in love. However, if it were up to me, I would want to wait to get married until after college because you are more ready to support yourself and your spouse and other possible family members. Marriage is not something to take lightly.

Answer 3

I think the right time to get married is when you find someone who you love and who loves you, that you make each other happy, you can make each other laugh, and you want to share all of your life with each other.

The rest is just the details. I mean, whether you marry before or after college, making money, finding a home, or anything else. Believe me, if you find someone that you want to share your life and they are worth it, then go for it no matter where you are in life.

Answer 4

The right time is when you decide you want to become one and totally commit to the person. College and everything else comes after. It doesn't matter whether before or after. If there's true strong love and commitment, the marriage will be successful.

Answer 5

For strictly pragmatic reasons--financial ones--it's easier to get married after college. You can live in a dorm--cheaper than renting an apartment--and support just yourself. If you rent an apartment, you can share the expense with unrelated roommates. When there are two of you, you need to find special accommodations and suddenly the burdens of supporting two people and their educations gets complicated. Also, if your parents are helping you financially, their tune may change once you're married.

Answer 6

I would say after college. You would want to establish yourself in a career, and build satisfactory credit, pay off those student loans, have your feet planted if you will. I would even go so far as to say develop a meaningful relationship with Christ. By that I mean accept Christ into yourself, and understand what marriage is about, how God plays a role in the marriage, the role of the wife and husband in a marriage, etc.

Marriage will be the most joyful, and difficult relationship you involve yourself in. Be ready, mentally, and especially spiritually.

Answer 7

Most people will say After. But if you know your going to get married and that they "The one" then why wait?. Many positive and Negatives about before and after. But if your going to do it no matter what; do it when it feels best to both of you.

Answer 8

After college, it's stressful enough to be a college student. Once you are done with college you will have more time to dedicate to a marriage.

Answer 9

when you are ready to make a life-long commitment, and can afford to start a household. If you are both going to college, then it is best to concentrate on college and complete the process of getting your first job... give it a year if you can before "settling down"

Answer 10

Whenever you feel the time is right. If you wait until after college one of you may feel like you're taking too long.
