There is no number that will satisfy this question!

I was really young when I married, but also mature. We are really happy a decade later with 2 little ones. We have had friends divorce who were young AND old when they were married. All the divorced couples had problems at the root of which was selfishness by one spouse or another. We are also friends with many couples, still happy, who were married both young and old. What they have in common is that they share goals and communicate well.

If you are young it may take longer to establish financial stability. On the other hand you work at building a life together and can really truly share those successes. Also, if you marry young, you develop adult habits and routines together, and thus those habits and routines are likely to mesh well. We are having children relatively young. We look forward to the time when they will (hopefully, lol) leave the nest and we will still be young enough to really enjoy being empty-nesters in good heath and with many years ahead of us to enjoy young grandparenthood.

I can't speak for everyone, but I think the best age to get married is the age when you can really commit yourself to making your spouse happy, and the age when you meet someone who you would like to grow old with, who challenges you, helps you grow, and treats you amazingly well. I consider myself lucky, but also a hard worker. Our marriage is not perfect, but we are friends and I can honestly say I love him more every year. And since we started so young, I have many more years ahead to enjoy the fruits of my decision to marry young.

After you've known someone about a year and you are mature enough. That's all about understanding people, ideas, relationships, goals, thoroughly listening to find as accurately as possible where your partner is and where you are and you can flow together relatively smoothly after a year. Your sort of in tune. A car needs to be tuned up, so does the mind, the heart and you overall. If you both know how to do the work it can get better and better over the years. If you aren't going up now you'll probably continue down to the end. The rules are just a sure as physics so you'd best learn them. Als problems start with seeing what you can do with you and what your are not seeing. Then you can help someone else. I can pretty much predict that if you use negative and judgmental words instead of the more accurate descriptive ones, a relationship like a conversation, will go downhill all the way if nothng changes. I do believe a negative or judgmental word will start a downslide, uncorrected. A wise person knows how to put everything in positive terms. Those are constructive terms. Usually prople from effective families may have those skills. If you haven't been brought up in that environmentn of don't lean the skills it will be less fun then your would want. It's not so much age. Being closer in years and/or life stages is better to go through them together. Doubts are usually a negative sign and something should be looked at, maybe several things. Like life it's an ongoing process. If you love it you'll love it. I really think you have to keep learning indefinitely too, starting yesterday. There's so much on the net. How can anyone not take advantage of it.

After the mid-twenties (ie 25-30). This is because an area of the brain responsible for judgment and decision-making does not fully mature until the mid-twenties. Any marriage before that will have a slightly higher chance of running into potential problems.
Young marriages are not necessary destined to fail, but because of that biological factor there is always a risk. But regardless of biological factors, how well the couple handles their problems is key to a successful marriage.

I got married at 19 and was maried for 3years to a guy I knew since I was 8years old. I don't regret it because I got my dream wedding out of my system and now I know what I really want. I really dont think there's a best age to get married. I don't think all young marriages fail either.

That's a loaded question.

Some people might be mature enough to handle marriage at 20, but some wouldn't be able to handle it at 40.

It all depends on the people involved and how committed they are to making it work and if they're mature enough to realize how important it is.

I personally believe everyone should wait until they're at least 30. By that age, you've figured out more about who you are and have some life experience to base major decisions on.

When both feel it´s good and comfortable without any outside pressure. In my opinion this simple fact would help less marriages to fail

when you both are finish with school or working full time jobs. When you love each other that you know that there is no body on this earth that can every take you guys apart. And parents don't have the right to chose your marriage, however they do have their rights to suggest.
