People are so different, so I will have to say it is when you feel the time is right. Not when others think it is time.

hi there! you should get married anyage if you feel it. I mean when its the 'right time' that you can start growing a family and when you already decided that you will marry the right person. its love, there's no age of being in love but being matured it a lot more deeper.

actually, its not the age, the number per se. I think its more of how mature you think you arr, and how ready you are for marriage. You can marry at a young age but if you're already mature that time, then you'll do just fine with each other. Just like my parents! They got married when my mom was only 19 and my dad 24, and they're still together, very happy with us! That's actually their advice to me. And I believe them because Im 22 already, 3 years older than the age my mom got married, but I still dont feel I can have kids just yet. Though I love kids and cant wait to get married, at the end of the day, I just wanna enjoy calling my love my BF as long as I can and later on then I can enjoy calling him husband as long as I can. But not for now. But definitely later!

it doesn't matter how young or old you are as long as you are mature enough to handle the responsibility of being married.

i think the best time to get married is when you already finished studying in the sense that you are already stable and when you already had a job for your family..but for the age i prefer 25 years old..

hello :) I don't think one can really say what an appropriate age for marriage would be. I believe it depends on the couple and their individual situation and love for each other. I do believe people should be at least 18 years old though. But after that, I think it is entirely up to the couple. Some people are very mature at 20, while others need more time to grow up before getting married. There are a lot of things to consider before getting married. I think it is very important that man and woman are sure they really love each other and have already established good communication. That is the key! It is important for them to really know each other - likes, dislikes, morals, values, ... I got married when I was 24. I think that was a great age for me. Notice I say for me. I was ready and I truly loved my husband. I had no doubts. At 24, I feel I had some time before marriage for myself. I was able to finish my bachelors degree, travel, and live on my own a little. This time to myself helped me grow and learn more about what I wanted and didn't want. I highly recommend that someone has some time to themself before marriage for this reason. so, no, I don't think you can really say you have to be ___ age before you can get married. It just depends on the person/couple.

I dont think age matters in getting married. whats important is that both should be ready and mature enough to face the responsibilities and lifetime commitment of marriage. Getting married is really simple, but keeping it is another thing ;-) Like me, Im turning 27 this Feb and actually considering of getting into it with my 7-year long realtionship. Since I believe that its really a huge responsibility, ive long been preparing myself for that "next-level" relationship ;-)

I would say, get married only when you are ready. Ready to build a family or ready to a wife. If what you are concerned is to have a child, I learned that women has most chance to easily conceive a child in her mid 20's.

Age to get married is not important. It will depend on the level of maturity of the person to take the responsibility of married life.

I think we will enver know about the best age. Because that's not important. The important thing is you ready or not. If we married on the age 20 or more but if we not ready, for what?

for me the best age to get married for women is 25-27 and for men is 30-35.as for today's life we need to put something to ourselves first before we get marry.for example, savings...this is very important for both of lovers when they both agree to get marry soon they don't have problems regarding money matters. as for me, i got married with no savings the same with my husband so we're having a hard time to save money for our house.since we got baby already our savings is going to our baby...so, i suggest to have savings first and enjoy of being together as boyfriend and girlfriend
