People say it is not a good decision to get married before completing studies and getting established in a good job. Even I got married at the age of 23, and my husband was 26 at that time. Both of us were working for a Pvt. firm here. We both got about $100 per month as the salary. (sum of both salaries) We didnt have any other earning sources either. But we faced the life together and now we are in a good position.Thats because we found the right partner. But this can be changed if you didnt make the right decision and if you couldnt find the right person. It may ruin your life. It may cause lose everything in your life. What do you think?

My parents married early. They don't finish their studies. We have small income and we are just poor during our growing up years

Any age is fine if both people work to it and love each other. Honestly is key. I am glad your relationship worked out and you now have 2 beautiful daughters.

No, I didn't have that moment you have back in my 20's so there's no way I'm getting married any time soon.

Getting married at very early age and without a stable career is the most foolish decision. And leaving the career for anything is also not wise. Its so good that you got a perfect partner and you both are growing together. Even I got married in very early age and left my career. If I was more matured that time it could be different decision.

Yes. You are right. Thats what happened to my parents. They married so early and my mum stopped her studies... Later they got divorced. Then my mum lost everything.

When I was a little girl, my grandfather used to make me repeat after him, "I promise to not even think about getting married until I'm at least thirty-five." I'd forgotten he'd done that until my mother reminded me decades later. The funny thing is that my maternal grandparents married young and had a lifelong love story. In fact, they're my models for a good marriage. Anyhoo, I never strayed from the idea of not getting married until my mid-30s. What Papa didn't tell me was that by thirty-five I'd be so set in my ways and cussedly independent that the thought of marriage was laughable to me. Don't get me wrong. I believe in marriage. Just not for me.

No matter what your age is, if you find the right partner life can be happy in spite of sorrows and occational misunderstandings. Money and good jobs come and go. Love, respect, patience and solidarity are difficult to find. I think that this is not something that you deserve or not; mostly it is luck.

During the old days in my country, if a young lady had her magic period, she is ready to get married. Eventually, things had changed its practice through the years and women are more wise before deciding to get married.

Age has nothing to do with it in many cases. We have seen some older ones marry and mess it up.
