I think 25 or above is the right age for both me and women to get married. Sometimes people get married at 20-21 or even before that and invariably end up marrying the wrong person and then regret their decision. I think most of us reach their mental maturity around about the age 25 and are mentally capable to deal with marriage, family and kids. Besides, one should first concentrate on his career and once they are settled in their career then it is easier to concentrate on things like marriage and kids.

I think a man should marry at the age of about 25 years and the woman at about 23 years old. But both of them should be responsible already to have a family of their own and they could be independent of their parents already. I was about 21 years old when I got married and did not finish college for I was then only in the 3rd yr. chemical engineering course. I regret now for I should have finished first my college degree before getting married.

I am married now, and i was married at the age of 19. If i were ask such question, i will say that the marrying age for me is 25 so you have experience life well and you can have a full maturity to face your kids and wife or husband. Because i think when you will marry at this age you have done the things that you want to do not like me that i do not experience being single in many ways. But still i will not regert that i have been married at the age of 19.

there is no proper age for marriage it all depends on your maturity level and if your financially secured i know many people who are in there late 20's and act like they are still in high school and i know plent people who are 18, 19 and you think they were in there late 20,s, as for me i got married when i was 21...i had my own place, my own career and so did my husband who was also 21

With marriage, I think the earlier the better. Younger people tend to bond better, as they are more flexible. The older you get the more rigid you get which is not too great from a marriage point of view, which requires a lot of compromises.
I got married when I was 21.

I believe different culture will have different view and also apply to different individual. The proper age would be around 20 to 30.. the childbearing age. I am still not married and quiet happy with it. Not planning exactly when to start a family... when the right time come.. iwill know. :)
