yesterday my mom said something about how nobody gets married until they're in their thirties these days. I said that's silly, I don't want to wait until I am thirty. She got all mad. I think 30 is too old to get married, especially if I decide to wait for marriage. What do you think?

There is no "magic age" at which to get married.
The crucial factor is whether the two people are EMOTIONALLY MATURE enough to make a relationship work.
Any successful relationship takes a lot of compromise, because no two people are totally alike, no matter HOW much in love they are.
You need a sense of forgiveness and sympathy, because human beings ARE going to screw up from time to time, and you have to be able to forgive, forget, and move on with your lives.
Most of the people who end up separating did NOT take the time to get to know one another in the first place, and, they did not possess the ability to negotiate when faced with a problem or crisis.
As I said ~ emotional maturity is more significant than chronological age.

I got married at 25 and although we're still married and I love my husband....I wish I would have waited a while longer. In retrospect I can see neither one of us was ready to be married. There are still a lot of things I want to do like go on vacations with just the girls and not have to worry about answering to somebody all the time. But there are a lot of responsibilities that go along with marriage and you just can't do certain things any more. You always have to consider the other person before you do things. You can still have independence, but you do lose a portion of it after you're married. If you're ready for the responsibility of another person right now, fine. But not everyone is mature enough for that in their low twenties.

Live with your true love for a few years first. Then start talking about marriage. I wouldn't just go out and get married at any age unless I knew what I was getting into. Trust me, you don't want to marry and then realize your new husband is driving you crazy with leaving his underwear on the bathroom floor. I would say wait for marriage for as long as possible, even past 30. You don't want a divorce.

Look at it this way.The sooner you get married the sooner you will get divorced. To many people jump into marriage before they figure out who they are.They also jump in before getting themselves educated and a career going.Most couples never save any money before marriage or try to save during so this makes things more difficult when money gets short. This day and age people should wait until they are in their thirties before marrying so each of them can become more settled and mature.

Do not get married in your thirties. Maybe 25 years at the very least, but 27 is the best time to settle down. At 27 you've matured completly and you'll make better choices in your marriage

When you meet the right person and when you feel right about commiting your life to that said person. marriage is suppose to be for life remember classic vows till death do us part. So really it all depends on when you feel you are ready
was 24 when I got married it has been almost 8yrs now.
With marriage it is one of the most important things to happen in anyone'slife and really I can't not advise this too much CHOOSE WISELY!

I was 20, my hubby was 19. It depends on how mature you and your fiance are, and if you feel that you can put someone else first in your life other than yourself. It's also a major plus if you two have the same views on marriage (divorce, cheating, and all that good stuff) which should be discussed before you get engaged.

I think 24 - 26 is good. One reason is because you are at a good age to wait a few years to see if the marraige will last before you have kids. It gives you room to grow at that age before kids, ya know? good luck
