Well, here is the difference between a woman's answer versus a man's answer when asked by this common question, "What's Your Ideal Age to Get Married?"
Woman's Answer: Hmmm science tell us that the best age for a woman to get married is at the age of 25 because at that age a woman can have a bigger probability of producing a genius child. But I can still marry at the age of 26 or late 20s' or even 30's will still do.
Man's Answer: There's no such thing as an ideal age, as long as I'm prepared already. When I'm stable already, when have a car, house, investment probably. Financially, emotionally. etc ready.
What do you think? What's your ideal age to get married?

For a women, I think it is the best for them to get married in the range of 25 to 35.. because of security of their health. some are health enough to give birth even in the age of 40.. but for the others, it is not recommended to give birth. and also getting married in the age of 20,. for those whose not prepared for a bigger responsibility for a younger parents..
but for a men, there is no ideal age for getting married,as long as they have the capability to support their family.. financially, and emotionally..

I think that, for both men and women, the ideal age to get married is around thirty. I think that by thirty, most people are mature and have good sense of who they are. They've gotten a lot of the childish behavior and irresponsibility out of their system, and they are ready for the commitment of a permanent relationship.

Well, the ideal age of getting married in my country is 21 for men and 18 for women. Though we are expecting a change in that soon (sometime around next year). I got married at 33. Though this is quite late as per the prevalent standards in my community.
I think that in today's world, there is no such thing that has a say into this, and I feel that the two should be mature and capable enough to handle the responsibilities handed over to them once they get married and start a family. The law is just to ensure that this rule of capabilities is maintained.

for me, i don't rush myself when it comes to stuffs like that.. I'm still young and I'm not yet ready to enter that kind of commitment. but when we talk about ideal age, hmmm i think Ive got no exact answer to that because for me, if you already finished your schooling, you have a stable career or you already pursue your dreams in life and no more things to worry about, then that's the perfect time to get married.. And if you already found the perfect partner to be with you for the rest of your life . :)

I would say 30. You need to travel and sew your wild oats. At 30 you have seen what there is to see and can formulate where you want to go and with whom.

Haha~~ I think my answer is combination of both your woman and man's answers. I do agree that it's better to give birth before 35, it's good for the babies and also for the mothers. The older the mother is, the higher risk it's to both the mother and the baby. Of course, I also think that the most important is the relationship must be stable and both of us are getting ready to marry. Also, financially and emotionally ready are important too.
My ideal age to get married is always 26-28, and I got married when I was 27.

I think women usually want to get married at a younger age than a man would want to if you asked him about it. I am not sure why this is the case, but it seems to be that women are much more comfortable with settling down than men are. Men tend to want to get married around the age of 35, whereas women are more in the mindset of getting married in their early 20s. I think that is the reason why so many women choose older men- because men their age are not emotionally ready for the same level of committment at that time.

In present I am not a married person. And my age is 25 years. I think when I getting a good job then after settlement in a good job I can marry with my someone specials. I think 28 year is the ideal age for marriage. I think in this age a person can settle in any jobs and also know about their responsibility. So I think it is an ideal age for married.

Ideally, I wish to have a baby at the age of 25 meaning to say, I will be getting married earlier than 25. Currently I am still 21 and I still have a lot of things to do and reality is 4 years is not enough to achieve all my plans and besides I don't have a boyfriend yet.. lol.. So I guess I want to get married at the age of 28.. :)

My ideal age is when I am in my mid-twenties and definitely before thirty. I want to get married after I graduate from college (which will be another two to three years) and when I am financially stable meaning I have a good career, home and be able to have enough money to support a child.

My ideal age is 26 up to 28 years old, because I want to have a college degree son and daughter before I reached my 50 years of existence. Beside, at this age, you are most active, you can produced your offspring, and start molding your life in the way you want. And also your partner will have more strength when she's giving birth, and both of you can give the best at this age, because you are more likely already successful in your career.

I think you are right. To build a family you should be ready financially etc.
I married in when I was 22 years old, but friends say I was so young that I am not ready... but I think when you really love a person and love strike you hard readiness is not put into question... but it is better if you are really ready this will help you a lot when you have kids...

As long as you are ready and if you have established a life that is ready to have a family.

Age is not a factor. I believe that individuals should get married because they found somebody they can love, commit with, and that they are already mentally, physically, emotionally and financially ready to take care and be cared for by another person.

For me My Ideal Age to Get Married is 30 because I do believe that my life is already settled and every is done according to what God has promised me.
However, I will follow what God had planned on me...I will wait for the right time because I know that God's time is perfect than what I suppose to think of!
So this is case-to-case basis.

For me, i do think that your guess is quite accurate. For men, financial stability is important before they can start a family. However, for women, they have to get married in their productive years. Anyway, i do think that men and women who is getting married shouldn't be too much difference in age. I think it is good to get married around 25-30 years old.

age is not the reason to get married. i think,the ideal age to get married is you have the responsibility for a family
