One television show in our country tackled this opic just an hour ago and I would like to know your opinion about this. In my part I would like to get married if I have much enough savings, and I already achieve my personal goal I think I would like to say I do at the age of 30. I wanted that everything is ready and I already reached my parent's wishes. I would like to have 3 children and age 30 above is a high risk to have one. I hope that I could be able to achieve what I want in an early age so that I could get married to the person I love earlier than 30. You. love, love, love

in my own opinion, there is no such thing as perfect age to getting married. age is just a matter of number. when a person is getting married it should be about his/her maturity. the ability to establish the life of being married. getting married or married life is not that simple as we all know. its not just about the banquet or the ceremony nor the honeymoon. it is the beginning of something new, something bigger. bigger responsibility, bigger obligation, bigger decisions. i think if you feel you are stable enough for this kind of commitment then it is the right time for you to get married, whether you are at your youngest age or at your oldest. i am at 26 now, but I'm not having thoughts yet. because i feel i am not ready for it.

I think anywhere from 25-30 is a great age to get married.By the time a individual is that age they "should" be out on their own and be in a stable environment. I have been married for 9 years now and we got married at 18. It's definitly been trying at times since we got young at such a young age. After experiencing getting married young, I don't think that anyone should get married before 25 since that's the party ages.

Nowadays, people get married at age 27 or above. People seldom marry below age 25 now. As for me, I would like to get married at around 27 or 28. I think that is enough time for me to achieve my goals, etc. Then maybe I can have one or two kids at around age 30. I only want to get married and have kids when I already have enough money for a house, car, and a lot of other expected expenses.

Well for me I would like to get married at around 24 - 26. This is because I don't want to have a great difference in age with my kids. Yes, it might be hard but if you work enough, you can save enough and have enough when you reach this age. :)

The ideal age for me to get married is 27-30. But it actually depends. I just set this times frame because I want my self to be established first before having a family. I want to have savings for the children, my own business so if economy goes bad, I won't have to worry for my family's future.

Smart! Me and my husband got married at 18 just a few months out of high school. We both had jobs, but at that age they were just minimum wage. Neither of us were really established and ready to settle down. However, 9 years later we are still going strong and have two beautiful boys. If I could go back and do things over, I'd still get married at 18.

I do not think there is an ideal age to get married. I got married at 23 (known my husband for over 8 years as we were friends in HS). I didn't want to go out and party since I found it over all just pointless. I, however, did not and still do not (since I am only 24) want any more kids after the age of 30 or close to the age of thirty. I have two kids and unless we have one more within the next year and a half.. I don't want anymore. I don't think a lot of people who get married older or have kids older realize how much of a toll it has on your body the older you get. I had both my kids one at 19 and one at 20. I am just now truly recovering since you do not have the time to recover right after birth until the kids are older. If you want three kids, I'd suggest being in a secure relationship in which you will get married someday but not right away if you don't want.

I am one person who never will get married! Growing up,when I did,your parents wanted you to and so did society! For years I thought that is what I wanted and needed. Then of course children happen. Finally I got some sense into my head! I realize now marriage is not for me ans never will be! I don't even mess with dating! Men are not in my present or future! I am happy being alone and happy!

Television shows really love to put everything in their perfect categories. I don't htink there is a "perfect" age to get married. There are people who are ready for this step at the age of 18 and there are those who are not ready even at the age of 40. What if we decide that the perfect age to mary is 25, and you are 26 and still single? Wouldn't that depress you? It will make you on outsider as everyone has already accepted the fact that you should be mariied by the age of 25. I think that the perfect age is when you feel ready, no matter what the others (and the television) think about it

It good to marry early,like in the age range between 25 to 30.In late marriages there is a chance that the age difference between the couple will get bigger.And also the retirement age is 58,thus early marriage will let your kids grow peacefully.

So you like to get married if you have enough savings? Enough savings for what? To pay or do what? And what if you have and you find the one you love and that person has no cent at all? You will go on to the next one or you spend all your money on that person in no time? You have a scenario what to do if things dont work the way you like as well? At age of 30 a woman is already old to her first kid. The female body is already aging after the age of 18. I hope your wishes come true, you get what you want and it won't be a big disappointed since it's hard for kids and a partner to exactly fit in the picture you have in mind.

That's an ideal age (30) to get married. After I have enough savings, money, house, cars, my "likes" in life, I think that's the time I am ready to get married.

i think the best age to getting married for me is between 25-30. i think in that age, we had have a plan to live the life with our family. and i think in that age we can thinking more rasional and mature. if over than 30, i think it is too old.

I don't believe in an ideal age for marriage. You have to start making your exact plans really early about how you will have enough savings and reached goals at the age you would like to get married. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a life like they planned. Some of us have to go through many many difficulties till we are ready, for others this time comes earlier. I think getting married is the best when you have found the partner you want to share the rest of your life with, and when you are ready to take the responsibilities that come with a marriage, whatever age it may be.

There is no such answer. Everyone's lives unfold differently and have different timelines. I don't believe in putting an age on something like that. You never know if or when you'll meet the best person for you, if or when you'll be "prepared" for it. Myself, I never in my wildest dreams expected to meet the person I wanted to marry so young, but I did. I got married at 21 and I wouldn't change it for anything.

Hi! I think 26 to 29 would be the idle age for one's marriage. I feel if marriage is done sooner, it would be better. Delay in marriage could cause many unforseen problems and late marriage could bring friction between couples. It is easier for young couples to adjust with each othe when they are younger. All the best to you.

I think that 30 would be a good age for most people to get married. This way a person has time to reach goals that they've set, most people know what they want out of life and a relationship by this age. But I think if a person wants to have children getting married a little earlier would be best that way health wise for them and their children would be good. Perhaps if a person still wants to have children perhaps a good age for them would be 26 or 27. I was married in my early twenties.

If you are mentally, emotionally and financially stable and you think you're ready for a big responsibility ahead, then, go! Find that person you will love for the rest of your life and get married. Good luck!
