What is the right age to get married?

Do you think that getting married at an early age will stop you from doing or achieving certain things in life? What if by the time you have achieved everything else...you miss out on the love of your life. What would you do?

I think it is more a maturity level than an actual age. After all, different people mature at different rates. My brother is now 28. I don't consider him to be mature at all. However he has a wife and 2 kids. He's still having problems managing his money. So do I, though I don't call my family every week wanting to borrow until the next pay day. Some people are meant to be together at a young age. Many times, it just doesn't work that way. As Julia Roberts' character in "Mona Lisa Smile" says "some relationships aren't meant for marriage". I think it's a matter of deciding which ones those are. Many people, women especially, get married because of the wrong reasons. The reasons range from they are lonely, they are tired of looking, they feel it's what they "should" do. Those are all crummy reasons. You know you should marry when you can't imagine being 60 years older than you are right now and NOT having them there with you to share it. When you think of your life next week and can't see them as part of it. When you think of them and you smile. When you can picture the face of your love in your mind and you know that they are looking at you with as much love as you are looking at them. I also don't think that there is just one person for everyone, however when you find one, stick with them, it may be a lot longer than you want til you find the next one.
