A lot of kids nowadays are getting married mostly because they got their girl friends pregnant. Some decide to marry at a later age, when they are financially and emotionally stable. I've read that a girl's chances of pregnancy decline as she gets older. Is there a right age to get married? I wanna get married before I reach 30. When did you get married or plan to marry?

I think It depends on your perception and your economic status.Personally I would have married since had it being that I vividly well that I am economically bouyant enough to take care of me, my wife and kids.Though I don't believe you where you said that girls chances of pregnancy decline as she gets older,I beleive it is a thing of genetic factor(fertility rates of her inherited genes of the family) and environmental factors(nutrition,how good do you eat).But if you are a christian, I suggest its worth a crucial decision that needs you pray to God before embarking on your right age to marry and God help you make the best choice of a life partner.I will get married at either age 24 0r 25.Be my wife!!!

I got married when I was 24 and I would say looking back, I was too young. I don't think that there is a right age to get married. You have to evaluate your relationship. Figure out why you are wanting to get married before you reach 30. Is it to have children, or are you truely and deeply in love with someone. Woman are having children at later ages these days. I had my daugher when I was 38, but I had my first born at age 25. I think that I am a much better parent to my daughter as I am more mature than when I had my son. I am telling my now 19 yr old son to wait until he is at least 30 to get married. Don't rush into it. It is life changing. No more going out when you want~once married it is a partnership.

I'm not sure there's a right age for it, since everyone is different. I read an interesting book about marriage, and according to statistics, men who only have a high school education marry sooner than those with continued education, so obviously a lot of factors come into play. Do you want kids or not? Do you want a career before you're married? Do you want to continue your education? Are you stable enough to be married? Done enough living the single life? Lots of things. I personally would like to be married by 30, as well. That gives me 6.5 years. :)

I believe there's no right age for marriage. Anyone can be married anytime just as long they already finished their schooling and it will be much recommended if they already have a job. Married life isn't easy so you really must know your responsibility. In order to do that, we must finish our education first so we will have enough knowledge to face this kind of responsibility. - Ron Reyes www.ronreyes.co.nr
