i married at the right age ( i guess so ). i married 29 years old. married for 6 years already and i have a two years old son. i think i was emotionally ready and financially ready at the same time. i also know my partner very much inside and out. we are both honest in all aspect specially about our past. we know everything about each other. of course we still have our short comings and misunderstandings.... but that makes us stronger than ever. getting married is not about how yong or how old you are, it is how emotionally and financially ready.

I do not think there is a specific age that calls for marriage. I believe that one should marry once he or she is already emotionally and financially ready to commit into long time partnership and commitment. Personally I would say I would like to marry in my middle age around 26-28 years old. The reason would be because I would like to be in touch with my future son or daughter and not be very old and not relate to their generation at that time hehe.

When to marry? At a young age, or older - that is the question. I married at a very young age - I was 19, my hubby was 21, and we have been married for 43 years now. It worked for us - but we had to put a lot of effort into it in the early years. I think it all depends on the couple - we were lucky I guess.

I don't think there's any right age to marry. you need to be in a stable, happy, long term relationship. be truly in love, and want to spend the rest of your life with them. that could happen in your teens or in your 90s. for MOST people, I wouldn't consider it sensible to marry before the mid to late 20s, as from teens to early 20s, people change a lot. I would also not consider it sensible to marry someone unless you've been together a good 5 years or so. my partner and I met on Millenium eve, and are getting married next September. I'll be 28, he'll be 32. I don't consider that being financially stable is an important consideration in marrying. yes, marriage CAN be expensive, but it can be done cheaply too. and it's the emotional commitment that matters.

I got married the first time when I was 17. The 2nd when I was 21. Now both of my kids are almost grown. 18 and 13. I wouldn't change that for nothing in the world. I feel like I have grown with them in a way. I did miss a lot for this quest of marriage. I missed My teen years and the fun times. The up side, my kids are grown and I still feel young. [[i]b]I always tell kids to wait. Enjoy life, Live it up. It only comes around one time. When it's gone, It's gone[/b].[/i]

i don't understand why some women reaches age of 40 and not married. i am 23 and I am married already. i did not think much of my future. i just think what happen today will happen. But i am blessed cause I have a very good husband.

i don't think it good to get married at very young age like 21, 22. the golden age i guess is over 26 or 27 cause we are probably mature enough to know the true meaning of marriage, to take the responsibility for both partners.
