What is the right age to get married?

Question

My mom says i should get married when i'm 30. My mom got married when she was 20 and now she is divorced. My best friend says the same thing. What age do you think is the right age to get married?

Answer 1

It doesn't really matter what age, just make sure you're mature enough to know what you're getting yourself into. I think you should date for atleast 3 years first though to make sure you know the person you are marrying. Try living together at first if you're seriously considering marrying the person, because living together you'll find out if you can stand being around that person constantly. You don't want to get married and later find out you can't stand living in the same house with that person. Just be sure this is what you want to do with your life.

Answer 2

I believe you should get married when you and your partner are both ready. I got married at 18 and I will never regret that. My husband and I were both ready. We had been together over 3 years and we knew we wanted to be married. All I advise is that you make sure you have a healthy relationship. I mean you know how to communicate, compromise and get along. And then when you are ready go do it. Don't let anyone talk you out of doing something.  

Answer 3

Any age after about 18. The right time is when you meet the right person and you want to spend the rest of your life with them. It doesn't really matter at what stage you are at, because you can help each other achieve what it is you are wanting to achieve.

I have several friends who married young and are still happily married still.  Getting married at an older age is NO guarantee that your marriage will work out.

What is important is that you know the person is 'the one' and that you both have good character and are willing to commit to each other.

Best of luck.

Answer 4

I say anything close to your mid 20's...to be honest it has less to do with the age and more to do with ...why you want to get married and if you BOTH have all your stuff together...for example....have you guys finally learned how to argue in a good way and communicate well with each other? Do you guys have a clear plan for how you will be spending money? How many kids you want? If you guys want to go to church or not? Who will be responsible for paying the bills? How in debt are each of you...and will you guys be able to get out of debt immediately? How financially stable will you guys be? etc. Overall to be married you must be 100% capable of being able to comfortably take care of yourselves, no more asking mommy or daddy for anything outside of babysitting the kids, and most importantly you both will need to finally act like adults by arguing and conducting yourselves with respect.

Answer 5

Well, generally, the older the better, but there are exceptions.

How we are at 20 and 30 are so different.

Don't get trapped to early, sow your wild oats, live...cuz when you marry and if you have kids, more trapped no matter how great our intentions are.

Answer 6

probably 25 at least

Answer 7

I think it's 24-28

Answer 8

rememeber in the old days well in some religions as soon as a girl became a woman there parents would have an arranged marrige and at times it was planned when they where born ?well my mom was 13 when she got married and still married , all i can tell you there is no age and love has no age , you listen to too many people and apply what is often a patten in other peoples lives to yours , STOP, this is your life you make the choices you make , take time find your love know your love cherish her and when you do in your heart you will know , dont be afraid to take chances my motto - life is a roller coaster - so hold on brother enjoy the ride and cherish every moment .
