yes its good to be single. you can do all the things you want to do. but on the other side, it is also nice to start young. theres a lot of time for you to enjoy your own family especially having your own kids.

There is no ideal age. It just depends on the people. To me, 27-28 is kind of old. I was 23 when I got married and had my oldest child. If I had waited until I was 27 I would have been 27, 28, 29 and 33 when my kids were born. After the age of 35 a woman is considered to be of "advanced maternal age" so in other words you are old, lol. I want to be done having kids at 35. I'll be 30 next month (I already have 4 kids).
That being said my parents were 28 (mom) and 30 (dad) when I was born and 2 years later they had my brother. I always thought they were old when I was growing up. When I was a kid all my friends' parents were in their 30s and my dad turned 40 a few months before I turned 10 (he's 60 now).

yeah you got a point. and actually it nice to have your kids growing up when you were still young. little age gap differences between parents and kids make them much closer i think.

IN MY VIEW THE IDEAL AGE OF GETTING MARRY IS WHEN YOU BECOME ADULT AND UNDERSTANDS THE GOOD AND EVIL THINGS THEN THATS THE TIME TO GO FOR IT ... DON;T WORRY FOR YOUR FOOD BECAUSE ALLAH HAS PROMISED THAT HE WILL GIVE IT TO US.

I agree, but some how I fell in love and Im engaged at 21! I would love to just wait awhile and get married later, but I know he doesnt want to wait that long because his grandfather is kinda in bad shape, and he doesnt think he will make it much longer, and he wants him to be there!!!

I think the ideal age depends on many things.. my ideal age will be when i have a good steady paycheck coming in and i know i am fully ready .. who knows how old i will be then
