When you've sat down and maturely calculated the expense of being married.
No, I'm not just talking about money, but also if you are maturely ready. Can you honestly see yourself with that person for the rest of your life?
And no, age does not matter. It's all about the mentality you have and your maturity level. If you are ready to take on the challenges and joys of marriage, go for it!
Wish ya the best! ♥

Age does not matter as much as maturity level (unless we are talking about a 14-15 yr. old and that's just plain silly). I know 40 year olds who have no idea how to commit to a marriage and constantly cheat on their spouses. They are selfish and want everything in the marriage to go their way. Selfishness is the main cause of divorce. There is one advantage to being older when you marry: You can use all your prior experience in life (i.e. relationships, financial matters, negotiating skills, etc.) to make your marriage a happy one. If you marry young, you have to try to stumble through all those learning experiences together and neither one of you have any prior experience or knowledge to draw from....that's why many couples who marry young wind up getting divorced.

When you can picture yourself waking up next to that person for the next fifty plus years and can accept them, warts and all.
You also need to look at the things that you have wanted to accomplish with your life and if it would be possible doing it with a spouse and kids.
Marriage is a wonderful thing but it takes a lot of time and effort and the maturity to meet in the middle on many things. Many, have a hard time adjusting to the fact that their time and responsibilities change and become shared with another person.
Age and maturity is a huge issue in making this decision.

when it's time, you'll know. it hit me like a brick one night with my g/f, and since then, we've talked and discussed marriage for about a month now. both our parents know that we're ready for this leap, and in a couple weeks, i will be popping the question.
as for the age matter, dont worry about it, but dont go trying to rob another generation! my g/f is 10 months younger than me (she just turned 22, i turn 23 in april) , so my situation isnt very relevant, but id say as long as you two are on the same page, then it's all good.

in my opinon age doesn't matter, but to a lot of people it does. i guess it all really depends on the maturity level...
