In your opinion, what's the best age to get married?

Question

To me, if men never want children, then they should wait between ages 35-40 to find a CF woman and get married. I might be married by that time or never, because I'm childfree and women my age pretty much aren't my type.

But in your opinion, what the best age or age range to get married?

Answer 1

65  TO 75

Answer 2

im 19 and im getting married because i love him and we promise eachother our lifes and ive never been happier

Answer 3

27 or older....no younger than that.

Answer 4

I would say between 23 and 30, just my opinion as its easier to find someone and I don't want to be an old parent.  

Answer 5

What is a CF woman?  Never heard that one before.  There really is no perfect age to get married.  This would require all of us to find the perfect partner by that age, see?  So setting a specific age doesn't make sense.  You just don't grab onto a person and say, "look, the perfect age is 25 and I am 24 years and 9 months away from 25, so you'll have to do."  It just doesn't work like that.

First, you have to meet and get to know the "right" person and they have to find you to be the same...and then, maybe, you think about marriage.  Some people don't want children, they just want to live together.  Other people want the children.  Sometimes, one person wants children the other does not, or one or the other is not ready for it yet.  Marriage is not a sign of age (it is independent of age).  When two people are ready, they can do it.  But what I am afraid most people do not understand is what "for life" means.  It's easy to say that when you are young...because you don't yet understand what another 60 - 70 years means.  Obviously, about 75% of the people who get married don't understand what that really means.

Its not like the old days, 50+ years ago, when the Catholic Church dictated divorce.

I am of the opinion that it should be very hard to get married and very easy to get divorced...people should have to wait a long time to get married...just so they can clearly think out what they are doing.  And for those who are trapped in a marriage they find they do not want, it shouldn't be the h**l on earth the court system makes it for people, to get free of all the entanglements...especially the mean and ugly divorces carried out in the name of revenge and greed and the lopsided nature of custody battles and their outcomes in this country.  It has become a cottage industry to demean your partner in the process of greed and "I wannit all."

So I think people should study divorce first before they get married and know where things stand.  They should also know the laws regarding abusive behavior, both men and women...so they know what will happen if they abuse their partners.  I think a 6 months set of classes that combine parenting, divorce, handling money, violence and abuse, anger management and control...would go a LONG way in this country in fixing these problems we are having.  It's just way too easy to rip on down the isle without thinking hard about what you are really doing.

So, you see, there is a whole lot to consider before getting married, and age doesn't necessarily reflect your ability to deal with all those things like an adult.  I know some 18 year olds that are more mature than some 40+ something others I have known...does that mean all 18 year olds should get married?  Or does it mean that all 40+ somethings should get divorced?

I say, get married when you are ready AND prepared and by that I mean, taking some classes and clearning what is expected of both of you.  It has nothing to do with age, and everything to do with maturity.
