Perhaps I failed to understand the question. I think marriage should be considered seriously at EVERY age and shouldn't be entered into lightly. However, with that said, I think people should wait to get some life experience under their belts before getting married. This means dating different people and seeing who and what is out there, working on themselves, their independence and ability to stand on their own two feet before marrying their life with another. To get to these steps will vary for everyone... some people don't mature like that until they hit their 30's and others not until their 40's... however, no matter what age one does feel they are ready to tie the knot, it's important to get some pre-marital counseling so they can be prepared for what will happen within a marriage, and evaluate which expectations are real and which are not. Finally, I think someone is ready for marriage and will take it seriously when they have had the important discussions about finances and spending habits, division of labor and chores, religious and political views, how to deal with crisis/stress, moral stands on what matters to them, fidelity, how they handle arguments, inlaws, free time and how they prioritize and sacrifice for the betterment of the relationship. At the age where they have tackled those issues and have reached a common meeting point, they are ready to take marriage seriously. All the best, Zuri http://askzuri.blogspot.com

I got married when I was 25 and was not mature at all, so now that I am single and almost 62, I might perhaps start getting grown up enough, but now I like a comfortable life too much so I have no hurry at all. Better have many good friends in this age instead. I might marry when I am 84, it was a little girl who thought that this is a good age..he - he..!:o)

It no depends on the age, only on the maturity of the woman/man. A woman of 25 could take more seriously that one of 35

When you reach the age of 30 that's when a lady should start taking marriage seriously. That's when a lady already have a career; there are too many stingy men who don't want to share their wealth.
