I think that it depends on the people, because each and every situation is different. I was married five months ago, two months shy of becoming 23, and for me, this was the perfect age, because my husband and I were REALLY ready for the marriage. However, I know some marriages that happened at ages 18-22 that were just as ready, and still married, years later. I also know older people who were married for the first time, and their marriages are just as good as the others. And the same can be said for the reverse. Depending on the people, a marriage at any age could fail, especially if the people are not compatible, unprepared, or not willing to compromise. It also depends on people's coping, compromise, and communication skills. I believe that at any age, premarital counseling can help prepare a couple for the marriage, and it may be the tool that keeps the marriage going.

I guess it would vary a bit from person to person, but in my opinion, the right age is rather young. Once you have finished your education, I think that if you are in love, you are at agood age to be married since people who remain single for many years may be so comfortable doing things their own way that it could be difficult to compromise about many things. And as all people who are happily married know, compromise is important!

I don't think that to have a happy and successful marriage you need to prove your worth in society. As long as you are both confident in the quality of the relationship, you are ready for marriage. Getting married does not mean that you will have lessened the value of your education. A college degree is useful for good employment, but there is more to life than merely getting a good job. To be truly happy and well rounded, you need to think of both your professional life and your personal life.

i think it would have to depend on the persons who are going to commit themselves into marriage.they should both be prepared financially and emotionally and at they should at least have plans for their future.i think age doesnt say much about the success of a marriage because it would have to be based not on the age but more on the commitment and stability of the persons involved.
