Is there really a right age for marriage? I am not yet married though but I am aware that one day I know I'll be caught by that situation. I'm still 20 years young right now and I'm wondering if at what age will I engage into marriage. If given the chance to choose the age to get married, I would like to get married at the age of 24. But it will still depend if I already have a stable job as well as my husband to be. Getting married is indeed a very crucial and big decision which needs a lot of discernment because it is a sacred and lifetime commitment. No one would like to have a broken marriage at the end of the road right?

The RIGHT age to get married is going to change depending on the personal circumstances and situations of those involved. I believe that as you get older you learn to know yourself better, and that you must know and love yourself before you can make a lifetime commitment to know and love another. This is one of the things I learnt as I got older of course, and when I married (too young!) I hadnĀ“t yet realised it.

hmhmhmh....for me i think the right age to get married is 21 years old. But it also depend in you if you ready to take the responsibility as a good wife at the same time a good mother.but before that make sure that you are very ready to take that responsibility because getting married is not a play that if you tried to play you will stop playing it. Make sure that you have a stable job and find the perfect guy for you.

The right age to get married is when you feel that you want to marry and you have someone to marry to who feels that wants to marry as well For me marriage has no more special meaning than a legal agreement for two people to obtain some legal benefits that you can't get unless you marry. It's a good reason though.

...of you are in the exact age that the law allowed for people to get married then you can do that if you want to...there is really no definite age when to get married and getting married in an earlier age does not necessary mean that the relationship you have with your partner and your marriage won't work..although it would be much preferable to enter the kingdom of a married life when you are matured enough and you are ready enough to face everything, be it good or bad together with your significant other..

I absolutely agree with you .. In my opinion the best age to get married is from 24 to 28 but it depends on your personality .. There's a lot of things must be done before you get married .. You must be able to get married and to be responsible for your wife and your children in the future .. Just close your eyes and think about everything will happen .. And be honest with yourself and then choose what the right age to get married is .. And you will know :)

i think there is really no right age in getting married, as long as your your above the age of 18 already, for me as long as you found the right person for you and youve been together for a long a time, well i think there's no problem in settling down, just consider the financial stability, of course when you say marriage its about making a family.... marriage stage is not an easy task, you should be ready financially, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. good luck to you! :)

As a man, I have to get married at 29. Because I think I am mature enough that time. I can manage everything that comes on my way. I have already enough experience to face the stress of having family. I don't need to go out to have some night life because I had my life with that time.

hi there friend, getting married is not a food that when you like you will eat eat and then swallow it or spit it out when u dont want it anymore. for me there is no right age to get married as along as you are ready to take the happiness and its consequences after marriage. as long as you have a stable job and mature mind and most especially fear to God you will have that peace of mind. In the world we have to think practically and positively. No work, no money. No money and immature mind would lead to broken family. Love your husband as well and your wife when you get married. that's it. the secret is have faith and fear to God.. I hope that this would help you regarding your topic.

There is actually no right age to get married. Whenever you are with the right person and feel mature enough to handle the responsibility of a household, just go for it! Personally, I want a good job before I get married to my boyfriend. We have been in a relationship for almost four years and it feels perfectly right. We even have our future planned out. I just want to get out of university and get a comfortable job to get married. My boyfriend earns well enough and has started renovating his home to suit my interests already. But I need to financially independent myself before I'll marry. I don't know why but that's how I want it to happen. If it's an arranged marriage and not a love one...I would suggest late 20's to be an ideal age.

You cannot really tell what lies ahead of you. For me, no particular age and not very too young of course, as long as you are financially stable and certain of your soon-to-be spouse then go ahead...

Statistically,age at first marriage for men is 28 years old and for women is 26 years old.In my country(China) men average 31 years old of age at first marriage and for women was 28 years old. Some think the people who want marriage should have a successful career,a house,a car,basic stability of life,however i feel that will make people married too late,in addition,later marriage will also affect their fertility.

The right age would be somewhere 30 years old or 28.
