At what age do you think you will get married / What age did you get married?

December 12, 2012 7:51am CST
Good day to all of you, i'm just curious about this topic because this was the topic that we were talking with my fellow college friends awhile ago. For me, i think 30 years old was enough to get married because at that age, i think that i have enough savings to let my family to have a sumptuous life. I also think, at that age, i'm matured enough and ready to have children. Also, i think at that age i can get a decent job or business to have. For you at what age do you think was right before getting married?

I am still single, as to when will I get married--I really don't know. I want to make sure that I have found the right person before signing any papers. However, being sure doesn't necessarily mean that your marriage will last forever. I think there's no right age for me. I have so many things to do and places to see, I get the feeling that I am not ready, I fear that if I get married I will not be able to make many of dreams come true. So, I probably will be 40 or older.

Hi Mam, I wondor after reading your comments. You are telling that you need to find a right person to get married. for which you are travelling here and there. You are telling that you need to do several things. you need to see different places. And you are telling that you may marry after 40. See in this world, in this society there are some rules. You cannot survive alone. You may need some help from somebdoy at the old age. What ever things you want to do after the marriage also. Why can't you think that? sorry if you find that I am saying wrong. Have a nice day.

I would say late twenties at the earliest. It's really not something you should jump into since it requires commitment and lots of responsibility especially if you intend to start a family and buy a house.

Hey getting married and want to get married is two different subject or thinking every person have it in their mind. But when one will get married or want to get married is I can say fully depend on their destiny as such. It is said marriages are made in heaven and when the time comes one get married with another person. I got married at the age of 22 just after my graduation.

Seriously, I wanted to get married at 35. Some people find it to old-fashioned but it is my choice. I swear I will plan ahead before settling down. Marriage and having kids is kind of difficult. The aspect I am preparing is emotionally and financially. I wanted to save money for the future of my family. I don't care if even if I am still 30 and don't decide on marrying someone. Today, I am happy. I am 23 years old but no boyfriend. I am working and I enjoy being single. I earn and buy things for myself.

Hi Jhayster, I gone through your profile. Such a small boy at the age of 17 years is thinking about marriage. But I accept your to marry at 30 yrs. Actually there are several reason for the age to get married geographically. I married at age of 33 yrs. But it was delayed as I was not have a good job. But I married in 1994 with a low salary. I struggled to manage the married life because of lack of money. So the age is not a matter to get married it is purely to take the responsibility. The ability to manage any thing. We need money for the life. So first you aim to get a good job with a handsome salary. If you studying now then concentrate on study to get a high qualification and get a job. May be you can marry at 26 also. Have a nice day.

I don't feel there is one age that is better than another ti get narried. When you find that special someone you just know it in your heart. i was 25 when it happened for me and i had many wonderful years to share with the one I loved.

i was thinking that 27 is the right age for me to get married. some of my friends, at that time, had different thought with mine. they think that 25 is the ideal age for women to get married. and some of them proved what they ever said; getting married at 25 or less. i wondered to them. how can they got married at very young age? is she ready to be a mom? but life is only about choice, right? lol. time went by. i then had a date with a man. he was so charming. he was not like my previous ex boy friends. he was quite, religious, but he was so interesting with all his 'weaknesses'. then we became closer and closer. i was 26 and he was 28. suddenly, his mother asked me to get married soon cos we had been in dating for almost two years. then, we married in a very humble condition. almost no party. but i was so happy cos i loved him very much. our marriage is almost seven by now. i hope i can live with him happily ever after.. marriage is not about the age, but it is about commitment. though you are at 20 or 25 but if you are ready to have strong commitment with your spouse, then go for it. but though you are at 30 or 35 but you are afraid of having commitment, think twice to get married..

To tell you frankly people (men and women) have got different ages to get married. Some get married at young age, other get married late due to many reason they had. In most of the religion the parent prefer make their daughter's wedding at young age may be 20 plus they think to be suitable age. I got married at the age of 22 and at that my husband was 27 years old.

I got married at 20 years old, for me it was the perfect age. I think it is personal preference and its up to each person. My husband and I have been married for 8 years now, been together for 9 years. I'm very happy with my choice. =)

well maybe years later, now i'm still in 18 though. first i want to achieve my dream, before i can reach it i won't get married at all. second, my boyfriend is still young too. it's too early to talk about marriage. third, i want to have my own earnings as i don't want to lean on my mother anymore. until i can do that, i think i won't get married. my approximation is.. around 22-24 years old.

When i have enough money and I am ready to take responsibility for someone, i will get married. Marriage means more responsibility and burden. I do not know the exact age. Maybe next year, when i get a job and have a new house, i will get married.
