It all depends on you. I got married at 20 and that was right for me. I have been a stay at home wife and after 2 years I was a stay at home mom. It was hard to live on one income but it was the right way for us. Some people think they need to wait until they are financialy set or have other reasons. I just fell in love and it was right for me. We did a lot of growing up together.

I don't think age should have anything to do with it. You should know in your heart that it is the right time and the right person. If you know your bf is the right person, but it is not a right time for him, it may be best to wait. Follow your heart.

I think the perfect age to be married is different for each person. Some people are ready to get married in their early twenties, while others simply aren't. One thing to take into consideration is if you want children or not. It is more difficult to have children the older you are.

It doesn´t matter at all. You can get married and have you career, and buy things and be with the one you love. I get married at 21.

it depends on individual choice. i think there is no max age limit to marriage. people should only marry when they think they are raedy for it. Marriage can't be something that is forced.The person should marry one that he/she likes.

It's not a huge deal for me, but I hope to be married by around the age of 30. :]

I don't think it really matters what age you are, as long as both of you are ready to get married. I got married when I was 26 (my husband is the same age) because that was a good time for us - we went out for about 8 years. Some of my friends got married in their early 20s and are still happily married, with a good job and family life.

Apparently, a guy's age of marriage is not a chronological one, or at least that's how i think. He marries when he thinks he is strong enough to run a family, i mean financially and socially. There is a sense of self realization, as you said, more proeminent than women's, and if they don't reach a certain point in their personal development, they don't take the step. The general rule is that guys grow slower, but not only in the biological point of view, but the few other mentioned. 25 is good for a woman, because she always wants to be a young mother, beautiful and loving...that happens best when she's about this age. I believe in a difference of at least 4 or 5 years difference between members of a family...i mean, the husband older than the wife, about 29 or 30.

There isn't really a set "proper age" for marriage. I think each couple has a right time to get married, whatever their age might be. Also, each person may have that want-to-be-married-by age, but the world doesn't usually work that way. So, if you're ready to marry him by 25, and he's just as ready, then go for it. But not if you're the least bit uncomfortable about it. There may not be a ready-by age, but there sure is a not-ready-by age, in my opinion. Any age where you're not comfortable with the idea. Try dating for a few years, the get engaged. That's my plan with my boyfriend (we've almost been dating 8 months now).

Hey,dear,i am also 23 years old. On the contrary, my boyfriend always wanna marry! In my view, it is better not to marry so early! We are young, don't let the shackles of marriage prematurely our life!

If u Bf agrees then its good...But mostly guys prefer to marry after they are settled. Well i would like to marry after the age of 27yrs. cuz i would be settled by that time and will be enjoying a healthy and wealthy life with my settled carreer. So i would also get time to sped with my loved one's and live a happy life.
