Most of my friends think 25~30 is the most suitable age for marriage,in their opinions,in this period of life,one's personality has been matured enough to bear the responsibility of a family.What do you think?

there is no perfect age to get married and 25-30 is already old for a woman to get her first child, the female body is already aging after the age of 18-20 years old. You know that? And if it comes to personality and responsibility, plenty of people still don't have that at the age of 45. It all has to do with your life experience, who you are, your character and how much self esteem, courage and confidence you have. Some people already have that as a kid, others will never have it.

That is completely false. 25-30 is NOT "old" for a woman to get married or have a child. And the female body is NOT "already aging after 18-20". The HUMAN body begins it's decline after about 25, BOTH men AND women. The female reproductive system begins to decline at 35, NOT 25.

If you are talking from a man's point of view, then ho well settled he is is the most important question. Boys are bread winners and they mustbe able to t ake care of the family.THeir career must take off well and it will easily take 25 years for thsi to happen. Regarding girls, also 25 is not too late but 30 is late.

boys ar bread winners? I been in many countries and in most men are not working at all.. just sitting outside drinking tea or coffee for hours. In the western world and so many other countries women are working, having 1 or 2 jobs next to the kids/housekeeping/taking care of husband. I really wish men were bread winners and able to take care of the family instead of running out and sending wife and kids out to work or to beg.

Everyone is different and there is NO such thing as "too late" to get married. I also don't agree with putting a timeline on things like that. They will happen in their own time. Trying to force it only leads to poor decision making and mistakes. I personally got married when I was 21. That is NOT for everyone, though. I don't even know anyone my age who's married.

i think we cannot count on someone age as a someone who has been matured, moreover in this matter on man ages. Matured based on what their think and the way of their behaviour, as a fact today many man around 25-30 still cannot bear for taking responsibility of their family and 17 or even 40-60 have just matured enough to bear their family..;)

Yes its true that we have to be mature to handle the efforts of family before getting married. As man takes so much responsiblity after getting married so its necessary to get married in a correct age and its should be matured time.

I think 26 and up is a good age to get marry , since at that age you have maybe a carreer and a good job that can afford a living. I got marry when I was 31 , I had so much fun in my youth age. but, kids came around the 33 , so, it was very tyred . So , You are right 25 to 30 is an ideal age to get marry.

I don't think that there really is a specific age. I think that it depends on the individual. I think that you need to be ready to get married. It has to feel right. I got married two years ago, when I was 21, and I did so because I felt ready to get married. It felt like the right thing to do.

This depends on individuals though sometimes the family my have influence in one way or the other. I would prefer mid 20s to early 30s as the best time to get married.

I think it really just depends on the individual person and what their maturity level is. My husband and I got married at 18. We've been married 9 years now and are still going strong and loving the married life. We were both very mature when we got married.

I am not married but I want to get married at the age of 27. so that when I have a child by 28, he/she will be 18, i will be 45 and I will still be strong enough to work until he/she graduates college. I don't want to reach 60 years old, and still need to work so that my kinds can go to a good school. well it's just my plan, but others have their own opinion. welcome to myLot and happy mylotting
