How old were you when you got married? Do you think its the right time?

I got married twenty eight when I got married . I was with my husband for ten years before we got married though . I don't think there is a good or bad time to get married . I believe it has to do with the couple themselves and when they feel the time is right for them . We didn't have a lot of money and felt that getting married wouldn't change anything for us so we waited . But not everyone wants to wait this many years before they say I Do ! I don't feel that anyone should have to wait this long . When you know you are in love and if you feel the timing is right then I say that a person should go for it . You never know what course of action your life is going to take and you never know what you could be missing until you take a chance . Either way it will work or it won't but at least you took the chance to find happiness for yourself and got to experience something very wonderful in life .

I was 18 and pregnant. I think we were too young. Had I not been pregnant I think I would have waited until I was at least 22 or 23. But, it didn't work out that way. We are still together though. We have 3 kids now and we still love each other very much.

I was 28, actually I was married on my 28th birthday. Was it the right time in my life? I'd say yes. Was it the right day of the year? I'd say no! If I had it to do over again I would have kept my birthday and anniversary as separate celebrations because every year it seems we get closer and closer to forgetting it's my birthday too!

I got married to my first husband when I was 20 and he was 19. We were married for 6 years and I don't regret it for a minute. Although, it did not work out between us, we still loved each other very much and had fun. (for a while). I got remarried at 28 and have been married since. I know that getting married at 28, I had a better sense of myself and that I did realize that my ideas of what marriage was and should be were a bit messed up at 20. At 28, I realized that marriage is work and not all fun and games. I think waiting and exploring and living is a great idea, but there are some marriages that work out when they get married young. But, I believe that waiting until late 20s and even in your 30s is the best idea. You know who you are...you are more ready to "settle down"...you are more open to compromise and the work it takes to make a marriage work.

i will be turning 22 rhis april but i dont see myself to be married at that early age. according to my plan i want to be married at 24.. to those who got married at an earlier age as 16 or 17 maybe they have priority reasons in doing so... To be married means you left the life of being single.. More limitation set by ur partner and more obligation and risk to take.. So for those persons out there who are planning to get married, think of it a hundred times..

I got married at the age of 21. To some extent, I do think it is wise to enjoy being single for a while when you are young, but on the other hand, what do you do if you have already met the love of your life? When I got engaged to my husband, I was only 17, and my father asked me whether or not I was doing the right thing. I replied "well, I don't know whether or not it's the right thing. I could call off the engagement and life the single life for a while, but then, a few years down the line, I might wake up one morning and realise that this man truly was the man I was supposed to spend my life with. Then I would regret not being with him for the rest of my life." If you find somebody you truly love, it's foolish to throw that away for the sake of living the free single life for a while. If you get married young, sure, it might not work out, but then the worst thing that happens is that you have a divorce. Then once again you get a chance to live the free single life. On the other hand, you might remain happily married for the rest of your life. Love is worth taking a chance for :)

I married my first husband when I was 18 he was 21. It ended after 7 years but we are still good friends. It works better that way when trying to raise the son we have together. I know now I was in love with the idea of being in love. Not to say that I didn't love him! But I don't really regret it. One should have a good idea of self before they try to become a couple. If I had to do it all over I would definitely be single for a good long while.

I got married last year. I was 27 and think I am already ready and I've met the right person that I can see my future with. although I also get nervous of what's to come since I know all marriages are not that perfect and surely I will go through some rough roads ahead. But I was ready to face that road.

What a sick sentence! If you married at age nineteen, would you even care about those "lost years"? I dont think so! I think singles are singles because they are selfish or at least very selfcentred. They want to do anything that suits them best and kind of put anything else on hold. Thats why they dont marry before they are at least 40 years old! And get near to impossible to live with too, because they are so incredible into themselves. My husbands friend is dealing with this right now, he wanted to be single and have a blast out of his life. He has been in and out of relationships as long as i have known him and before too. As soon as it looks like its turning long term hes running! I got married 28 years old. But i was engaged since age 20. And for me it was about time, and absolutely right.

By all means enjoy yourself before you tie the knot so to speak ... but i dont think marriage with paper and all is the way to go ... if love isnt in the equation then there shouldnt be a union ... and what is love anyway? when i was 16 i was in love .... when i was 35 i was in love with someone else ... when i was 49 i was really in love ... but it wasnt meant to be ... smilin ... different times ..different outlook ...different experiences shaped my preception ... and its still evolving today ... smilin ....

Your reasoning of enjoying the single life first sounds good. Making big decisions is less riskier when you're more matured and experienced. However, people mature at different paces, so as long as the two of you truly love each other and are economically stable, I'd say any age above 23 is a go. Personally I'm targeting mid-30s.

hi every i this is a jok

well im rite now 14 but i dont really think i wanna get married dont knw wwhy though lol i think because i think its too complicated but who knows views change quickly

I say to each his own. There is no RIGHT time to get married. It's not an objective thing, it is totally subjective. Some people think they must experience a bunch of different life events before getting married, which takes some people into their 40s or even 50s. I knew from the second I met my (now) husband that he was the one I wanted to spend my life with and I wanted to experience life with HIM, not alone. I met him when I was 19 and we got married when I was 23. We have such a great relationship. We have never held each other back from doing anything. We both have very different interests, as well as some mutual ones. At times, he does his thing and I do mine, but most of the time, we want to be together. Now that we have kids, it's just even better. So, the right time to get married should be based on the person and their life, not some standard set by community or the media.

I got married at the age of 25 and I think the right age for marriage is 26-27 for girls and 27-28 for boys. My husband is 26 and we got married little early as we couldnt live without each other and in India we cant stay together without marriage so we got married and are happy about it.

I was 23 when I got married. I don't regret a single moment. It's been 9 years ago now. At that moment I thought it was the right time. I have known my husband for 5 years and had also bought the house. If I were to do it again today I would wait till at least 30 years. Here in Malta, in order for a couple to live together we must get married, and that is what we did though we would have prefered to live together at first and then get married later. I have enjoyed my life before I got married and also after. So I cannot say that marriage tied me up!

i got married to him the moment i fell in love with him... an d i fell in love with him the moment i thought he is my guy.... and my perfect guy.....

I am 30 and i am single I would have loved to get married earlier thouugh i have not found the right person, but i think marriage is a thing of the individual. I think the right choice is when u are ready for it.

I didn't get married until I was 26 and I still think it was too early for myself. I honestly believe that we are each ready at our own time...i've met some people who were ready at 18 and others who at 40 weren't...

I got married when I was 35 years old. Previous to that I was engaged to another woman at 27 years old. I definitely don't have any regrets for getting married a bit later in life. I'm sure that it's not the same for eveyone. For myself I wanted to explore some of my passions and accomplish certain things that you can only do as a single person. If you look at most failed marriages nowadays the number factor is financial difficulties. Most people don't realize how difficult it can become to incur all the new expenses imposed on newlyweds. We all want the nice house the new car and the fancy trips. However, you need to be able to budget your money wisely in order to succeed. For me when I reached 35 I was able to save and thru various investments I was in a much better financial position to ensure that for the first couple of years my wife and I would be on stable ground. Luckily my wife did the same because she had a career before she decided to get involved with me an eventually get married. In my 20's I wa sa spender and in my 30's I started to become a saver. Now I'm happy to say that I'm a proud father as well.
