This is a frequently asked question when you're havin a time with your friend " You're thirty, why still single, when wil you be getting married?"
Some says 26 is an ideal age of getting married. Some got married at 22, others at 23. When a girls reach 30, shes a lil worried if shes still single. A girl is in a rush at 32 because her age surpassed the numbers of the calendar.
You? When will you be getting married. Do you have any plans? or just come what may? Please share with us here.:)

Well I think it's more important to have the right person than to rush and get married. Also, so many marriages are failing today anyways. I'm 26, single, never been married, and will just be patient.

i think the most ideal period to be married is that when you know how to be independent or when you know how to manage things with out the help of your parents.. but when it comes to the AGE, it depends on the person when will he learn to be responsible and independent as well.

I think that there is no ideal age to marry. If the person thinks that he is already ready to settle down and is ready to face all the responsibility that comes with marriage life...then it is high time to marry. Age doesn't matter because there are those who married young that does well on their lives and there are those who married late that made a disaster out of their marriage.

it all depends on the person. what is important is that a person is emotionally, psychologically and financially ready. if i'm not mistaken 25 year old women no longer need to ask for parental consent if they want to get married. when my ex-boyfriend (now my husbandLOL) and i applied for a married license, i was a week short of being 25 so i was required to submit parental consent. my parents were in the province so to make things easier, we waited for another week before applying again for a marriage license.

I am not married nor close and I'm 27. I will be 28 end of this year. My cousin still single and 31 in June. So yeah I know the best age I think is somewhere 25 and older. I think you should really know yourself. I do NOT think teens is a good age to marry. You dont know yourself well enough. So yeah 20's mid to late or whenever after that.

I think the ideal age for marriage is 24 to 30 because in this age you are working or earning money and thats the time your ready to have a big responsibility. But in my case i was married my husband when im 19. Maybe because i really love him that much and you can never tell what will happen even though you set yourself to be married in that age.

well my own idea of married is that i would get into it when i am ready and not as a matter of age. The way i envisage it now, that should be in the next 3 years and i should be 27 by then.

This topic is what I'm thinking in my my mind. I'm 20 years old now and I have a plan that I must get married in the end of next year. Now, I'm trying to seek my dream girl all over the world. My girl criteria is she must be a Moslem girl, understands me and receive me as her forever husband. May be one of you has fulfilled these criteria? Just contact me! :)

Let me start by saying that I am 27 years old and still single. I am not so sure if there is a right age to get married. There is no such thing as getting married at the right time when one is ready. it just comes along and it should be dealt with proper plan and choice. I am not afraid to get more than 30 years old, still single.. as long as I am healthy, it is my own choice and with God's time I will get married someday.

For me, i think there isnt any ideal age in getting married. It depends on the maturity of the ones thinking to get married but with our society, they often asked in amazement why a woman of 30 isnt yet married. I think it depends on our perception on what is the ideal age in marrying because there are some that are married young but shares their lifetime forever and there are some that were married at what we call mature age but ends up breaking up. So it all depends on our own perspective and view.

My fiance and I have six years between us. We are getting married and I will be 24 and he will be 30. It seems perfect for us. We are both ready now and weren't ready a year ago, even three years ago. I think it was just that it felt right and not that we had a specific age in mind. I don't think you can necessarily put an age on getting married, but I don't think that you should be doing it fresh out of high school...I think that you need to live a little, experience life and be fully happy with who you are in order to settle down and join in a relationship that you want to last a lifetime.

i think the ideal marriage would be the kind that is having a give and take relationship, a mutual relationship, a kind of bond that never passes any problems before bedtime. And i think this could be achieved at the age of 27 to 3o, and sometime in between. I think MOST people aside from this age are either still highly motivated for work or have no plans of marrying at all. That's based on my observations.

I am not sure that there is an ideal age for getting married. I have heard of people marrying very young and staying married. And then people marrying later in life and not staying together. I guess it just depends on the person. So it's not the ideal age that matters, but the maturity of the person getting married.

I think that the time is right to get married varies for the person.
Most people should wait a little longer to get married than they do. So they have been able to learn to live on their own and pay their own bills, to be responsible in other words.
Anyway, I think it just depends on the person.

I think the best age for a woman to get married is 25. I feel by that time your ready and probably done all the partying your gonna do. I got married at 26 and I feel like I was totally ready for it. But even if it didn't happen I don"t think women should stress abou the not married at 30 thing. Now for a man I would say 30+ because it takes them a lot longer to be ready for it.
