What is an ideal age for getting married according to you and why ? Yes this is a simple question and many persons have different views on this. An spouse is also called the life partner so according to you which is an ideal age to go for a life partner and why. For many it could be 24 and for other it could be 34, what about you.

The ideal time is when you have met someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with and feel you want to make a home together and have children. It does not matter if you are 17 or 99! Some people meet the love of their life early others dont. You will know when you have met that special someone until then do everything you want to do in life - not that you cannot once you are married!

Once married, always married, so we should not hurry to get married, because in this situation you might not have time or the possibility to do things which you like and you are used to being alone. In my opinion, the age of 30 years might be a good age for it. The time before, we should study and live our life.

I'd say the ideal age would be 26-28. At age 24, we are not yet that matured. We still need to experience a lot to be strong enough to nurture a family. Although nowadays most people are career-oriented, 34 is not really an ideal age because it is quite hard to conceive especially for first-timers.

For me, Age is really not the basis in getting married unless when you're under age. People can get married when they decided that they want to be together for the rest of their lives that's the first thing to do. second is, when they have enough money to support their family and the third is, when they are ready to face the next stage in life where they're ready to face the challenges and struggles that will come to their lives.

i think 30 is quite better to have a partner. first, after finishing school, you do have some years to earn and save money for the future of your family before you get 30.

dear remember the structure of human, in my opinion i think the age between 20 to 27 is ideal age for marriage because both (boy and girl) are mentely and physically fit for enjoy there life, rather age will effected and will change passion, emotions and feeling about thinking.

age is just a number. it really depends on the maturity of the person that is getting married.

To get married the couple should be in love and think that they are compatible. They should discuss what each wants in the future. If the lady wants kids but the man doesn't then there would be problems in the marriage. I wanted to go off traveling around the world and do much studying before I got married. I ended up getting married way too early and divorcing six years later. I was twenty two years old and he was twenty eight years old when we got married. We had known each other for one year. He liked animals, was vegetarian and loved traveling overseas. Being so similar to me I thought that we were fully compatible. He turned out to have a very nasty temper though. I would have got married after age twenty four years old but before twenty nine years old if I had had the chance to wait longer and find the right person. I think it is best for the lady to have her children before age thirty five years old. To have babies between thirty five and thirty nine is late for a lady and she might run out of time. I would have married a man up to fifteen years older than me or up to five years younger than me.

Married is not about age,one you have pass eighteen you can get married if you want.Marriage is a life time commitment and its a big responsibility as well,An a life time partner. I would say the right age is a round 25-26 and up, reason being that age.When your young you want to study an and finish college are school and enjoy your life a bit. Marriage is a life time commitment,and you have to be responsible an ready to take that big step in life. I got married when i was 25,and i was saying to my self am still too young to get married.But if that person fine that special one he are she love an think that they can handle a life time commitment then get married. Be responsible ,be faithful,be a life time partner,And sharing love and other things that couple share.

I have an odd belief. My theory is, as soon as possible. The most happy people I have ever met, have been those that marry young. 16, to 18 perhaps. There was a new paper article about a couple that celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary. He was 102, and she was 96. Obviously she was 16, and he was 22 when they married. Somehow... I think when people wait too long to get married, they start to learn how to live alone. Then when they get married, they have a hard time living with someone, after learning how to live alone. I also think that when people don't get married young, those natural physical desires cause them to make mistakes. Mistakes that make it harder, if not impossible to get married later. I don't know what the answer really is, but this is my take on it.

I think your late 20's/early 30's is good because you are beginning to settle down and focusing on your career and you have had a chance to enjoy life.

People should marry when they are legally, emotionally, physically, and mentally capable to get married. A person can marry as young as 18 (as young as law permits it) and as old as 99. Other factors can also be taken into account like pregnancy age, financial issues, and tradition. Personally, twenties is the best time to marry and start a family. That way, you wouldn't be too old to care for kids and make long term plans for the family.

I don't think there is an appropriate age to get married. I think that ideal time to get married is when you absolutely love the person and can't imagine them or you with anybody else. That feeling can come in different ages.
