Haven't s clue, 2 daughters of over 30 and neither married or even close and both ecstatic with the fact. No they are not lessies, just happy with their own company.

Based on psychology, after age 25 is best. People change so much year to year before that, that you run really high risk of going in different directions and finding out that you have different goals if you marry before 25. After 25 most people become more stable in their goals and direction in life so your marriage is much more likely to succeed. Also, now days it is very common for people to not get married until they are in their 30s or even 40s. Don't be concerned about being single. And don't give up your values, it is great that you are standing by what you want. Though for the no sex part you might want to watch sex in the city and see what happened when Charlotte married Trey... i'm only kidding. :) My stepsister didn't have sex until she got married and she and her husband are VERY happy. I think that it is great that you do what you believe in and don't let anyone change your mind if you will regret it later. So, all in all, don't worry about not being married. If you really want to meet someone, get involved in church groups or other organizations where you can meet people with similar values to you. But do not settle just because you are afraid of not being married. You will find someone you are meant to be with.

A study I saw about a year ago suggested that 27 was the optimal age to marry. Optimal because the person is old enough to have matured some but not single so long that it's harder to merge a set lifestyle with another person.
Now, that's just a general observation. It really depends on a lot of other factors doesn't it.
My daughter just married last November and she was 29. She's a beautiful, spiritual, high-quality character person (ok, I'm a biased dad). It's not that she couldn't marry sooner, but chose to wait on the person of God's choosing for her. I believe she honored God that way and will be blessed...as you will be.
If I may vent a moment (and I have three sons also), I meet a lot of sweet single girls looking for a serious guy. Are they are harder to find? Seems that way. Come on, guys step up and be men.

The best age is when you find somebody that you want to marry (as long as you are at LEAST 20-just my opinion on that age though, people change so much, I don't really support teen marriage)
Many women feel pressured to get married by a certain age. I guess because of biology and the desire to have children. If I were you, I wouldn't consider lowering my standards to go marry the first guy that comes around though (I'm sure you wouldn't though....but some might)
I personally am not opposed to having children before marriage/single parenthood. just because you aren't lucky enough to meet "Mr Right/Prince Charming" shouldn't influence your desire to have children, as long as you can financially/emotionally support a family.
I am engaged now, but before I met my boyfriend I had it all planned out to be a single mum. I will be a civil engineer next year, I am extremely self sufficient. You don't even need to have sex, just a sperm donor. Thats just my opinion, since you asked...

It sounds like you have some very committed principles that you are standing by so why would you worry about what age you get married? You should just worry about finding someone worth devoting yourself to that can respect your principles and what you believe in. The right age will be the age you are when you find the perfect person to share your life with. I'm 28 and just getting engaged. Hold out for that perfect person.

The best age to marry is when you know you are truly in love with the other person and you know you will spend the rest of your lives together, I met my Pat when she was 16 and I knew straight away that we would be together forever, it was love at first sight, we married when she was 18 and we have been together for 43 years so when you feel the time is right just do it.

There is no right or wrong age, unless you are engaged at 14!
i am 22 and will be 23 when i get married. I realise to some this is young but my gosh, you dont know all i have had to go through! i am so much mature than most girls my age.
Its commendable that you are waiting, i have always believed in God and i honestly believe that he gave me my hubby to be.. He will guide you to your love once you are ready and not looking for it.
Enjoy your life a bit more before you then have to share everything...

Once you meet THAT person, you will know when it's right to get married. I just turned 39, and just got engaged for the first time. I have been in long term relationships and I have a 15 year old daughter, but knew the moment I met my current boyfriend he would be the one I would marry. Don't be in a rush and stick to your morals; it will happen for you.

Get married when you are mature enough for marriage and have found your true soulmate.
Prayers always work. Ask God and He will point you to the right direction.
I got married at the age of 25 after intently praying to God for signs as to who is my mate that I would spend the rest of my life with.
Good luck to you and Godbless!
