It REALLY depends on the maturity level AND financial security a couple has, but GENERALLY, I would say anyone under 25 is too young. You just have NO IDEA how much you'll change between the ages of 25 and 35!

I think the best age to be for a male 30+. For a female 25ish... I know that sounds old to some but it's really about the age where people understand the seriousness of the marriage and are willing to do what it takes to make it really work. Also, as you grow older your desires for an ideal mate change. I'm not saying it can't work any younger than that, just that you have better odds when you wait. I would suggest being together at the very least 2 years before getting married!

I think that, depending on what you want in life, any age can be the right age. If you have been together long enough to REALLY know the other person and to know that you'll be able to honestly spend the rest of your life with them - it's a fine idea.
Along with this, however, there are a few things to take into consideration. For one, people change all the time. Most of our changes are said to go on before the age of 25-30. Because of this, you may want to think about what the future may bring for the two of you and how this could affect your relationship. Howver, they will continue to change thoughout their whole lives - so hopefully the two of you can change and grow together. Also, if you are attending, or planning on attending college, you may want to consider finishing this before you get married. Lots of people drop out of college after marriage and end up getting devorced because of financial problems that could have been avoided by finishing college. Basically, have a rough finincial plan set for yourselves because otherwise it can cause a lot of tension.
Bottom line - if you love them, and you've been together long enough to really know you LOVE them, then it transcends the boundaries of age. But be smart, or you'll just be making it a lot tougher on yourself.
PS. The youngest is the consenting age of the state/country you plan to marry in.

It's too young to get married when one's naive and haven't had much life and/or relationship experience. Usually anything under early 20s falls in this category. How long to be together? Depends on the couple; I would give it about a year to start making plans to get married, and if I wasn't married after 2 years, I'd be off looking for someone else.

I think that you should be at least 19 or 20 at a minimum, but that is pushing it. You should at least be together for a year or 2 before getting married. You really don' t know the person until a year. Then you really get to know the person even more after that. You can make a clear decision on if you want to be with the for the rest of your life. Then again this is my opinion.

Hi Greg
Your question is a very important one. Probably the most important one you will ever ask. So, I think you should do some real reasearch before you Jump into marriage.
I have a site that has some real information on marriage and when to do it. Please, for everyones sake (your future kids too), take a look at this page.
www.astrotimes.net.au and check out the page on Marriage.
In the meantime, best of luck.

Anywhere between 16- 25 is too young, you should see each other for at least one to two years, and no babies save that until your married.

I dont think its a matter of age. I think that before you get married you should have finished you college education and be at your full potential with your carrer, otherwise, it might not even happen for you. Then you can get married! No need to rush.

you know what i honestly think, living both in europe and america i think its different with cultures. in europe people get married under 30 they have kids at 20-25. in america people tend to get married at 30 and have kids at 35.
See too me thru high school i was attractive although i never looked at a girl for her pussy, because dude, if you think that then damn they are not objects, some people here think generally fuking ******* counts as fun, i never got that man, but it really depends on the relationship.
I honestly think that its about finding that person damn you dont need to marry her or have kids, if shes pressuring you just let it be, go with your own feelings, i always wanted to have a family when im 25 and me being in university i filled one goal, i really dont think screwing as many chicks is fun, and you shouldnt listen to people queer answers telling you your to young to have that question in your mind, i think your quite mature, however dont get into it to fast just ponder upon it

I think you shouldn't get married until after college.
You should be involved with each other at least 2 years and engaged at least 6 months before you get married.
