at what age would you get engaged/married?

Answer 1

when i am happy with the person who wants to marry me,

when i am mentally and finiancaily ready for such a commitment

when i have experienced the world and have dated many people so wont be forever wondering what it would be like with someone else,

and when i am physically and mentally ready for children,, because it will be inevitable that you will have babies sometimes straight after you get married whether planned or not.
and if you don't want the child then you have to be mentally capable of deciding whether to terminate the pregnancy or not.

marriage should not be jumped into but rather wait until your absolutely sure. live with the person before hand to know what horrible habits they have etc

i am 23 now and dont feel ready for something like that, but i know in the next 2 or so years i would like to have a firm commetment which would hopefully lead to marriage.
25 is a good age because you are still extremally young but you have still had time to live your life.
date many people
finished school and univeristy
and even set up a nice career for yourself and will be earning a nice some so you will be finaically prepared for something like having a family.

Answer 2

For all of these people who say age is not an issue....COME ON! Go ahead and give me a thumbs down, but the truth is age does matter. Granted you can legally marry at 18 without a parents consent, but I do not think it is wise. Someone decided people were to young to consume alcohol until age 21 because 18 was to immature, but these same people are able to make a decision that affects the rest of a their lives at 18. I am not saying NO ONE should marry that young, but for the general population a person is still to young to understand the word "forever" at 18. Personally, I think somewhere after the age of 25 is more appropriate.

Answer 3

Would I? Well, I already did. I got engaged at 17, and married at 18. He was the same age. We have been happily married for 14 years. We grew up together, I have known him my entire life, he is my best friend. We have three children. Life is not always easy, but being with him makes it easier. Money is sometimes very tight, but love is the glue that holds a marriage together, I found that age had nothing to do with it.

Answer 4

I got engaged at 19 then married a month before I turned 21.

I was 18 when i first flirted with the idea of engagement. But I was 20 when I found Mr. Right and we were engaged, Im 21 now and will be married next february. I couldnt be happier.

Answer 6

I don't think there is a specific age. I believe when you find happiness and true love then that is the perfect age for you in particular. For me, I became engaged Christmas 2006 at age 27 (two weeks before my 28th b-day) and will be married 5 months after my 29th b-day in May 2008.

Answer 7

I got engaged at 20, a huge mistake. All my friends were pairing off and deep down I didn't want to be left behind. It worked out well for me in the end as I fell in love with another guy a few months later. We've been married for 36 years now and still very much in love. The bottom line is there is no specific age, when the right one comes along you'll know it.

Answer 8

Aww =]. My boyfriend and that i've got been jointly for A year and seven months. We began speaking my freshman year. he's 17 and that i'm sixteen, now he's a senior and that i'm a junior. he's my extreme college candy coronary heart. ;] quickly he would be off to college. We talk approximately those issues in specific circumstances additionally. you probable think of its bizarre listening to this from a youthful individual than your age lol. yet we plan on getting married interior the destiny and stuff. properly, for my section you ought to get married around the age of 23 or 24. 22 would not be too youthful, yet would not or no longer it incredibly is better to graduate from college first? even have money so which you adult men could desire to maintain as much as get a place jointly? Oh, and that i do no longer think of it may scare him off only speaking approximately it in step with danger deliver it up whilst it incredibly is the miraculous time? I propose you do no longer talk approximately it each and all of the time do you? i'm hoping I helped out some way. I want you 2 the suited interior the destiny ;]

Answer 9

Answer 10

around 23, I don't think anyone can put an age on when you should get married, its just whenever the time comes, you'll know it. I think its stupid to get engaged and then wait years, my friend got engaged in highschool 3 years ago, they are still together but have no plans of getting married.
