Wow, so many say 25 as though it's a magic number....but it is generally a good age. I got married at 24, after being engaged for 2 years, dating 1 before that, and being just friends 4 years before that. By the time I got married, I had already completed university and been working over a year. So, I think for myself, 24 was fine. My husband is 6 years older than me. I never thought of getting married until I was around 27, but sometimes things are not always what you plan. Just make sure you are not in a confusing time of life, not knowing what you want or where you want to go, etc. Be settled about yourself in your own mind, your standards, goals, etc. Know the person as a friend first. See them in different situations, etc. Then decide other things. Whatever age that is at, is ok.

I don't think there is a magical ideal age for marriage. Some people get married at 17 and live happily together for the rest of their lives...and others get married at 65 and divorce 6 months later. I think that before you get married you do need to know yourself and what you want out of life though. For most people that doesn't happen until they are at least in their mid-20s. As far as how long you should date pre-engagment....you just know when it's right. My mom and dad were married 2 months after they met and are celebrating 30 years in March. My in-laws dated 5 years before they got married and have been together for 34 years. I think most people date for 1-2 years on average though.

I don't think there is a set age to get married, but I do believe that you should know a great deal of information on the other person before you decide to marry them.
I knew my husband for 11 years and we dated on and off during that time. We were always friend when we were not dating each other.
We have been married for three years and were in a serious relationship with each other for about two years before we got married. I think we knew just about a enough to get married.

You need to be at the stage in your life where you know who you are, what you want, and where you're going. You need to know your partner inside and out.. not just all of the good things about that person, but about all the bad, annoying habits as well.

well it depends if you are a mature person maybe you can ask 19-20 and normally you can ask at age 25. make good decisions. take a moment and think if you really like that person and you really realyy want to ask that question. anyways good luck but remember make good decicions.
