what age is best to get married? and have baby?

Question

i want to marry in the early 20s i am 23

Answer 1

Child bearing should be done by 35 I'd think, and that's getting a bit to close for NOT having children.

You don't want to marry just anyone I hope!! Your young yet. I started having babies at 25. I was still a bit too young I think, but their all raised now so good luck

Answer 2

there is no "right" answer--it is one of those things that is totally situational and contextual. But I will tell you this--don't spend your 20's with a set plan. Just have fun, be spontaneous, and whatever happens, happens. I mean, it is good in life to have goals but you also want to have some spontaneity and freedom especially when you're young. Let life be an adeventure and a possibility. I was never set on getting married but when I fell head over heals at 22, I was like wow, I'm so in love I would actually consider marriage. Then we dated for 4 years, so we still enjoyed our youth but stayed together and we have an awesome marriage now. But don't be looking for that like it HAS to happen at a certain time in everyone you date or you might make things weird and sabotage and manipulate your relationships. Seriously just have fun. The 20's are the BEST.

Answer 3

I would think 20 would be the minimum age to reasonably wait to marry and have kids. However the law allows you that at 18, so fine. I wouldn't recommend it, but neither would I condemn it. I just think that before you marry and have children you should have experience living together as a couple and mainly living an adult life with responsibilities, duties, worries and so on. An 18 year old cannot have that since they lived under someone's care until then. I think two years out of your parents house, fending for yourself is a minimum. And I would recommend marrying at 20 either if you've lived at your parents until then.

Answer 4

There is no "best age" only when you are ready. It does help, however, to ensure your financial future.
I'd say after at least 1 good "5 year plan", including a real career.
I had my first child at 26, the second at 28, but I started my career at 20.
You want to marry in your early 20s but how long have you been with your current bf?

Answer 5

No honey - don't get married in your early 20's. The 20's are full of change and should be the time when every woman is exploring her career, who she is, what she wants and more importantly....it's the time when you support yourself. Some women go from their daddy supporing them straight to having their husband do it. Then, when the marriage breaks up (which let's face it...the odds are 50/50), the woman doesn't have the first clue how to take care of herself let alone if she has a baby to also take care of financially. So, I believe every woman should have a few years in which she pays her bills, learns about credit and investing, starts her own 401k, gets her career off the ground, etc. Learning about budgeting, credit, and investing are such incredibly IMPORTANT life skills that EVERY person should have.

So, to answer your question, I believe that people shouldn't even THINK about getting married until their late 20's then have kids when you're in your early 30's.

Answer 6

Best age to get married is NEVER. Have a baby before 25 or your body will be destroyed. You are young and you obviously haven't learned these secrets you learn when you get older:

1. There is no Santa
2. All men cheat
3. Marriage sucks
4. Everyone lies (you even lie to yourself)

Answer 7

I am 24 and just got married. My wife is 23. We are doing fine. There were tons of ups and downs, but the ups outweigh the downs for sure. Only one of you really needs a career. Just make sure the breadwinner makes enough and doesn't have a slammer job at mcdonalds.

Answer 8

That varies with each individual, some people mature at different times so when they're ready to take care of children and not themselves, some may not find the right person till way late in life, how long you've been in a relationship, also financially may not be ready to support children........hope you find the right person, good luck!!!!!!

Answer 9

Age is not the issue as long as you are mature enough and ready. The key to it is the relationship. IT must be ready.

Answer 10

there is no best age to get married.
in my opinion the best time to get married is when youve already established a career and are self-sufficient..and also when you meet the right guy you want to spend your life with and have children with.
