Answer 1

yeah - you about covered it.

Answer 2

It all depends. I am engaged to marry next year and I am 21 and my fiance is 20. When we get married I will be 22 and him 21. Some might say this is too young but no one has said this to us because they know us and what we are like. We have been together since we were 16 (4 and a half years), we have our own nice place that we live in and take care of, we are very mature for our age, we have got ourselves and our lives together and know what we want. We have things planned out roughly. We will finish university in June then we will be getting good jobs, earning a very reasonable amount between us, getting married in November. After a few months we want to buy a house then a little while after think about starting a family. It is OK to marry young when you have things sorted out but not necessarily so if you just decide to get married and have not thought about anything else. Many people have said 25 is a good age, but a lot of people then, even at 30, have not decided what they want and planned their futures a bit. So see it all depends on your situation and where you're at in life. For me, it just happens to be my right time to marry young.

Answer 3

Whatever age is younger than when the people making that comment got married. It's all subjective. I personally don't think it matters when people get married as long as they are able to support each other financially and live independently of their parents. It's best if you are out of high school and not under your parents roof. It's also a good idea for a man and woman to live on their own at least once because it will give each of you the confidence to know that you can make it on your own if you ever had to. "Getting married too young" is a comment of the 21st century. That's because the divorce rate is sooooo high. I know plenty of older adults that married before they were 15 years old....but, they came from a much more mature time. Age can be one of the problems people face in marriage but it's not the main one. As long as you are both completely committed to your relationship for the rest of your lives, then it really doesn't matter how old you are.

Answer 4

It would be too easy and such an generalization to simply state an age. It depends on the experience and maturity of the persons involved. Having a bachelor's degree does not make you a smart person or someone with common sense. Some people never go out drinking but do other things for entertainment. Many people think that anyone getting married before the age of 30 is crazy. Others think that when you're 26 years old single woman, you're becoming an old maid. You can't base your life upon what other people accept or don't accept. Someone will always dislike your decision to marry (or stay single).

Answer 5

After 25, many people have completed much of that list. You've outgrown the 'bar scene' and you've probably completed a good portion of whatever post-secondary education that you intend to. Supporting yourself and living on your own for awhile will help you to maintain your independence within a marriage because you will know that you can do it if marriage doesn't turn out the way you thought it would. As far as being well-travelled goes, that's something that you can experience with your mate throughout your lifetime. Hope this helps :-)

Answer 6

I think it depends on the person, I think getting married at 20 or 21 is ok because some people that age can be mature and make marriage work. I think the general consensus is around 25 though. And yes, being able to support yourself and living on your own generally goes with being mature, I think finishing university would help but isn't necessary.

Answer 7

When you are financially independent from your parents and emotionally mature, which varies from person to person. Generally mid-twenties is the youngest you can get married without some people thinking you're too young. If someone got a good job right out of college and was mature for their age then early twenties would be fine, but I don't think anyone is ready for marriage any earlier than that. You just wouldn't have the variety of experiences, emotional maturity, and financial security necessary, plus you change a lot between your teenage years and your 20's.

Answer 8

I'd say 28-29 for women and 30 and up for men. Let me explain myself. I think we normally finish school at the age of 25-26 now right? After you're done with school you don't want to rush in the marriage life right away because then you wouldn't be able to go enjoy your life. I mean, it's fun to have a partner and all but sometimes accidents happen and the babies just pop out like that. So my point is, after finishing up school you gotta travel, work (pay off your school debt if you have any). That is going to take you at least 2-3 years. Sometimes even more but I heard that it's dangerous of have babies when you're in your thirties so I'm going going to say 28-29 for women.

As for men, even though people say that men and women are equal now but we all know that it's not true. It's still a man's world outside therefore they have more freedom than us. Their bodies are different than ours. For example, their sperms don't get old and it takes longer for them to become mature. That is the reason why I say 30 and up.

Answer 9

After you are mature enough. And I mean really matured not like 16 and you think you are know everything. Maybe around 25 but it really varies. But this is only if you truly love and care for someone. And you can't love someone if you met them in a bar 2 months ago. You need to know the person for years and seriously know them inside and out. And if you never find the right person you should never marry just to marry or your life will be a living hell. There is nothing wrong with not marrying in this lifetime.

Defiently it is a good idea in this day and age to be able to support yourself. And be financially stable.

Answer 10

There's no golden age at which you should get married. I think the best time is after you have been out of college and in the real world and have a great sense of who you are as an individual. After you have had time to enjoy being single and living on your own. Most importantly, after you have had time to become your own person.

Answer 11

A mix of . . .
-after you finished university
-after you can support yourself
- (and) after you've lived on your own a bit;
. . . by then you should be mature enough. People would realize your maturity, which would forgoe the fact of your age, and aknowledge that you can handle yourself in the "real world". (Your parents, on the other hand, might think otherwise ;] )

A good age is 25--I'd say the most common, too!
