What is the perfect age to marry?

Question

in your opinion.

Answer 1

my sister is getting married and she is 18...my mom got re-married when she was 33 or 34 ...i'm planning on getting married in 09 or 2010 and I will be 22 or 23... what I'm getting at is that there isn't a perfect age...just when you feel the time is right

Answer 2

I think when people define a "perfect age" or "perfect amount of time before you get engaged/married" they are much, much more likely to rush into marriage and ultimately make a mistake, or end up feeling bad about themselves because they missed some arbitrary number. Instead people need to concentrate on what the "perfect" qualities of their lifetime mate should be (I mean real qualities not "blond hair"), whether or not they have the communication and basic foundations to stay married, and if they can financially afford to be married.

I will be 23 at the time of our wedding, if someone had asked me a few years ago I would have said that I wouldn't be married before 30 and when I met my future husband I wasn't looking for a relationship at all and wasn't even sure I wanted one. My point is to forget setting all these unrealstic expectations or plans because that is exactly when life decides to show you who's the boss.

Answer 3

There isn't a perfect age, it is whenever you are mentally, financially sound on your own two feet. I am 20, and am getting married in a year and a half. It is different for everyone because not everyone is at the same stage in their lives. I have friends that are the same age as me, that don't want to marry until their late 20's or early 30's. It just depends on the person.

Answer 4

I got married at 26. I thought that was a perfect age for me because I had done enough of the things I wanted to do (travel, living independently, etc.) that I didn't feel like I was giving up anything.

Answer 5

There is none. It depends on the people involved. Some can marry at 19 others marry at 35.

Answer 6

I seriously think most people shouldn't get married before they are 30. Your twenties is a time to figure out who you are, A time to experience dating and life in general. Many women are having their first child in there mid 30's now. I got married at 24 the first time around and had unrealistic expectations of what marriage should be like. I recently got remarried at 36 and I have never been happier.

Answer 7

It really varies from couple to couple. I think its important to date a guy for a pretty long time to make sure you go through the ups and downs, etc. and see how you deal with it. I got married at 23 and am very happy however a lot of my friends were not even thinking marriage at that time.

Answer 8

Whenever you feel ready. When I get married I will be 24 & my fiance will be 28 . Dont rush in to anything just bcus you think your at the "right age"

Answer 9

between 22 and 26 for women and 23 and 30 for men (because traditionally men are older than the women they are marrying, and sometimes it takes them longer to be ready to settle down). but that is totally my opinion.

Answer 10

It is better for a person to be self reliant I mean to say financially sound or when he gets sufficient for his or her subsistence then alone he or she is fit to marry that is the right age to marry.
