As we know guys there some marriages that go on wasted because one of the reasons is both couple were getting married at their young age. Some parents decided to wed their both son and daughter because the girl is already pregnant in spite of her young age. Some parents never do that because they anticipated already what might be the risk and consequences of marrying them young. There were also couples though they are too young in their married lives they were successful in their relationship. Some parents decided not to wed their children due to age problems and yet permitted to live together. What is really the right age before settling down to married life?

I think this is one of those choices people have to make on their own. When I was younger I remember thinking to myself how badly I wantted to get married young. That was so stupid. I'm so glad I didnt I could never be ready to be married not even now at 22 I like my freedom and privacy. To be married though I know the right love would be worht it but a lot of that would be gone. I also am NOT ready to have kids thats what precautions and pretection is meant for. I think for me the right age is soemtime after 25 maybe even after 30 I havent decided. I know I dont want children until at least 30 I'm very happy with just having neices and nephews.

Yes I understand what you mean..you're right because we have different point of view as far as married life is concern. It would be so nice if we prepared that moment because once you're there you can't turn it back...for the time being we must get ready for that moment to come...thanks for responding...

hello From what i remember, legally the person is ready to get married above their 20's or alteast 18 years old. but some are in a hurry to get married in the late 20's and some just want to marry when they are mature enough both mentally or financially

I think you're right but we can't forecast when we really we get married unless it is already there..legal ages or whatever would not be followed specially if the girl would get pregnant....well it depends on the negotiation of both parties concerned...thanks for responding...

There is no right age to get married. it all depends on what couple, and whether or not they are ready. My sister got married at 19, and that was 12 years ago. She and my brother-in-law (he was 21) have a wonderful marriage. I got married at 25, two years ago (I was 25, my husband was 61) and we have a great marriage. Mom and Dad married when they were both 21, and that didn't work out at all. They divorced, and re-married, and now they are in wonderful marriages to their partners. Anyway, the best time to get married depends on the individuals involved, and not what society thinks.

Yeah, the good thing for you is you can divorce your partner when time comes you don't love each other..you're right in what you said "depends on the individuals involved". It is hard in our country because divorce is not allowed in our country..thanks for responding...

I don't think it is about the age of the couple. It's more on their maturity and their upbringing. Even if they are young, if they know what marriage is really about and the responsibilities behind it then they would be able to handle the relationship properly. Some young couples do not even think about these things before they engage in acts that are meant for married couple only. When they think about it just the physical aspect of the relationship and not the emotional and financial aspect of becoming a couple. They should be clear that they really love each other and they are willing to commit to be together no matter what happens. Meaning they will try to learn and grow together and not just give up because it is hard.

I don't think age doesn't matter but I personally think getting married below 18 is quite destructible and unhealthy in your future.. For me to be married you should be physically, mentally, emotionally,(also financially) stable before planning a marriage..

Well said my friend not unless the girl would be pregnant and both parents decided to let them be together either living unwed or wait until both reach at least a minimum age stated in our penal code...thanks for responding...

In terms of age, the right age is of course when you reached the legal age. But then age is not the only thing to be considered in getting married. There are instances wherein you might not be on your legal age but you can already manage to have a married life, whereas there are those who are already on their legal age but cannot yet handle a married life. I guess age is not the right term, but the maturity of the person and his ability to manage responsibilities.
