I'm 26 haven't even started to think about settling down yet. I've had to move around a lot, especially for school, and i think that has had some affect on me. Everyone else it seems stayed close to home after high school and married quickly. I know many people my age that are divorced. Most have at least 1 kid. When is the right time to just pick someone and settle down? I don't want to be the weird 35 year old that still isn't married yet.

People mature at different ages, and I'm sure moving around does have an impact on relationships. But, please, don't rush into a marriage because those are the ones that usually don't withstand time.
My husband was 24 and I was 21 when we married and we're still together, but we had known each other forever (yrs. before dating - we were best friends). Everyone else that married back then (that we knew) are divorced now. If we hadn't of had the friendship factor, we probably would be another statistic by now.
We have 2 sons, one is 24, and the youngest is 21. As far as maturity is concerned, the 21 yr. old is going on 40, and our oldest is going on 4. It depends on the person.
If you're still available at 35, don't be discouraged. If you are not living with ma & pa and are independent, you'll find your soulmate.

OMG no dont just pick, so what if you havent found her by 30. Whats the big deal? Your know when its right, dont just settle because (every one else did). I'm sure with in the next year or 2 your MRS. Right will come-a-knocking. I have a few friends who at 35/37 and 40 are just as happy,still being single and dont feel weird because "IT" hasnt happen yet.....All in good time my dear.

So what if you are, look i am married (11 yrs) and i have 3 kids, and I'm still not "settled" down. Why does society have to say when its right for you?
Look you wake up everyday and get out of bed and go where the day leads you, and if you buy a house that day then good for you, but instead if you get drunk and hit on one more ugly girl, think of it as well there's one reason why i can tell my kids not to drink.

Everyone's different- don't feel pressure! I'd say if I'm not married/settled by 30ish I'll be worried, but right now other stuff takes the front seat. With all the things you have going on your plate, do you really need a wedding/babies at this stage of your life? I'm 25, and still in school and half of my friends already have freaking babies! I don't care though. When their kids wake them up at 6am screaming, I'll be deep asleep in my comfy, comfy bed, lol! I'd say 30...it's the new twenty you know...but everyone's different! : )

Better to be the "weird" 35 year old who isn't married than the "sorry I did it" 35 year old who married the wrong person for the wrong reason.
Take it from me, I have been there, done that, lost the T-shirt in the divorce!
Now the lecture is over, look for someone who respects you and you them. Don't settle for less, it isn't worth it.

Let nature take its course. You will find the right person when you are not looking. You have already met them and not known it. My brother just got married and hes 29! There is no age bracket. If you want to get settled down then start looking!

I got married at 26 and divorced at 28.
I am 31 now with no kids.
Don't feel pressured because society dictates that you are not a "spring chicken" anymore.
People are living longer and waiting longer to settle down.
Wait until you find the right one.

i don't think there is a "right" age. i'm 19 now and i want to be married before i'm 30, i used to say i wanted tobe married by the time i'm 23 and have kids and evryone looked at me like iw as crazy. this day and age people aren't even getting marrid anymore. with divorce so high, i see my, all my aunts and uncles ave been divorced at least once. my all uncles are currently married. my parents have been divorced since i was an infant. my cousins are happly married so i look to them for hope that i can be, cause goodness knows i won't gt it from the adults. when i get married i want it to be forever, i see divorce as the easy way out, so unless he looses his d*mn mind and tried to hit me or cheats, i'm staying married. i've heard of people getting divorced cause the husbandworks too much or the wife goes out too much, thats dumb to me

There is no right age. You will know when the circumstances are right and when you meet the right person. You don't ever want to just pick someone for the sake of getting married. It's also okay if you never want to marry - there is nothing wrong with that.
I married to young and the wrong person and that is far worse.

The right time is when you find the right person, whether you're 30 or 50. Marriage is a serious step and should not be entered into lightly, maybe that's why friends your age are already divorced. Don't give into peer pressure, society or anything or anybody else. When you meet the right person, you will know it.
