What age did you get engaged?

Question

do you think 23 is too young to be engaged?

Answer 1

19!! So no, I dont think 23 is too young to be engaged. I am 21 now and getting married when I am 24. I think 23 is probably fine, but it really depends on the couple. However, I have to worry - if you are asking on here, does that mean that YOU think its too young? If you dont feel ready to be married, have a long engagement like myself :) Just make sure you are totally ready to make that commitment!

Answer 2

I dont think age should be a factor.  As long as you are in love and u are sure it is the person you are willing to spend the rest of you life with, thats all that should matter.

Answer 3

I got engaged when I was 19, guess what I'm still 19 (although i will be 20 very soon)! We are planning our wedding for April 2009.  But like somebody had already said, age is just a number.  I have been through so many life experiences (whether you believe that or not) already I  act 5 years older.  It depends on you, are you ready to make a commitment to the this person for the rest of your life? Are you willing to be there for them no matter what they do? Are you mature enough not to fall into immature pitfalls? Are you mature enough to handle hard money situations together?  Questions like these are things you have to ask yourself... Just remember AGE IS JUST A NUMBER.

Answer 4

I was engaged at 19 and married at 20.   We got divorced when I was 35.  He cheated on me.

23 is a good age to be engaged and married at 25.

If I had to do it all over again I would have liked to be married in  my late 20's.  

Second time around I was 45 . 22 years and still going strong.

Answer 5

29...hopefully, I'm older and wiser...I'll be married at 32

Answer 6

26.  I don't think 23 is too young.....as long as both people are ready for it.

Answer 7

28 and it depends on the couple wether 23 is too young.  I'm certainly glad we waited.

Answer 8

I got engaged at 17, married at 21. Divorced at 26. Now I am engaged again at 28. Personally I was too young when i was engaged the first time and I entered into that marriage for the wrong reasons. I do not think 23 is too young but it depends on the person and the relationship, you just have to give it a lot of thought and decide if its really right for you and if you are truly happy. Thats what matters I dont think you can put a set age on it. It all depends on the individual.

Answer 9

No, I don't think 23 is too young to get engaged. i am 23 right now and I got engaged last year. I believe that if you have found the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, then why wait? When it's the right person, you know (no matter what age you are).  We are waiting another year to get married though. Right now our lives are way too busy to plan a wedding, but I am having fun looking at magazines and figuring out exactly what i want for our wedding, so when it does come time to start planning it will be easy for us.

Answer 10

i dont think thats too young at all! im only 18 and im engaged. and ive only been wih my fiance for like 8 months. when its right you just know that its right! we'll be 19 and 20 when we get married but i think it just depends on the couple. i feel like ive known my fiance for my entire life. we're perfect for eachother. good luck! and congratulations!

Answer 11

I got engaged at 23, after 5 years of dating. He was 25 at the time. We got married when I was 25 and he was 27. As far as being too young, I would say no as long as you have been together and aren't rushing into things.

Answer 12

32

It depends on the person. For some 23 is too young, for others, not so much.

Answer 13

i was 26. i personally think 23 is a bit too young

Answer 14

I was engaged at 22.  No one ever felt I was too young because I am mature and responsible.  Me at 22 is probably like most people at 40.  Many of my friends have gotten engaged at 23 or 24.  It's not too young if you have a realistic view of marriage and aren't expecting a fairy-tale.  Age doesn't hardly make a difference if your head is on straight.  To me, 22-24 is the perfect age to be engaged.

Answer 15

Not too young at all. Of course it really depends on the maturity of the couple and whether they really believe they found the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with. I was engaged on my 22nd birthday (after dating him for 4 years though) and my parents thought that was too young but i got married at 23 anyway and have no regrets!

FYI I also know a 23 year old who has been living with a now 30 year old for almost 5 years and are getting married next July. She will also become a step mother to a 7 year old. I thought it was weird at first, but she is very mature. So as i said, it depends on the couple.

Answer 16

I'm 20 now..almost 21..not engaged. But been dating for 4 and half years living together 1 year and 5 months! We looked at rings yesterday.

I think 23 is a great age! It all depends on the person and maturity! I wish you good luck!

Answer 17

I'm 23 and getting married in less than a month. My fiance and I got engaged when we were 20 and 21.

It depends on if you are mentally and emotionally ready. Age is just a number.

Answer 18

26. My now husband and I dated for 2 1/2 years. I think 23 is young... but not too young. I'd say give it a couple more years. Why hurry, marriage is for "forever" (well, it is meant to be). Enjoy your time dating and getting to know each other even better. You are only young once. And you change so much in your early to mid 20's.

Answer 19

i was barely 18  but it depends on the people, you can go into a marriage young but you have to know what you're up for together and separately

Answer 20

I was 27 (25 days before my 28th birthday) and my fiance was 26.  

I don't think 23 is too young to be engaged, as long as the couple is very mature about marriage, and they've gotten to know each other well enough to make such a big commitment.  I hear the average age of a first-time bride is 25, so I would assume there is a fair amount of 23-year-old engaged girls running around.

Answer 21

I was 48 when I got engaged (first marriage), so I'm a bit the other side of the question!  It all depends on the 23-year-old.  Many are mature enough to understand the committment they are making, many are not.  Only you know if you're ready.

Answer 22

It's not so much the age that matters as the maturity level and if you are truly "ready" for marriage...people are ready for marriage at different ages and times in their life. Whatever is perfect for you.

As for 23, I don't think it is too young in most cases.

Answer 23

I'm 23 and got engaged this year.  I don't feel like I'm too young to get married, and I know our relationship of almost 5 years is ready for the next step.  I don't think age matters as much as the quality of the relationship.

Answer 24

heck no its not too young.  i got engaged at 20.  we had been together for 4 years.  so you go on and get married =)

Answer 25

My husband and I got engaged when we were both 21 (and two months shy of being 22) and were married seventeen months later this past May at the age of 23.

I think it depends on the person whether 23 is too young.  I know some people for whom that would be WAY too young and others (including myself) where they are mature enough.

Answer 26

25, married at 26.

I thought I was young when we got married. So I totally think 23 is too young. But it all depends on you.

Answer 27

I'm 23 and I want to be engaged...

I know several people who have recently gotten engaged or married around the age of 23. My mom got married when she was 23.
