My relatives and friends worried about me coz i am not yet married in this age. Yeh, i am 27 years old and i am still single and now i have no boyfriend. Supposedly i am not thinking it for now coz i want to be by myself. But i am not closing my door to anyone who will be sincere and can be trusted with. For me guy intentions and sincerety are important. I am not worried if i will not be married. If God's will! I am ready for it.To be Married is part of my plans. If i am lucky for it... so good for me!

in my country, it is 20-25 for girls. for those who dont' go to college, they often get married at the age of 20, and for those college girls, they often get married at the age of 25. i'm 27 years old, too and i'm sinlge, but i have a boyfriend. i decide to marry him when i am 30 years old. now we are living together, so we can know more about each other, if we can't love each other some day, then say goodbye, it is ok. marriage is not necessary for every girl.

Here in the philippines there are a lot of girls who got married in young age. There are some 18 years old. And there are some 16.They lied to there age only to get married. Instead 16 they will made it as 18. I don't know exactly there reasons but mostly were got fragnant. And some decided to get married only for pleasures inorder to help there family.:(

In my opinion, 25-26 years is an appropriate age for a girl to get married. Because, a girl is likely to become mother after getting married, so younger is the mother, better is for the child. In the long run also it helps if one got married at any early age. In the later years of his marriage, he/she can discharge his/her responsibilities towards his/her children more effectively. If it is a delayed marriage,it causes problems in brininging up the family and taking care of them effectively. You should get married, if you are serious, as early as you can, you still have some time, not much.

We are in the same situation, 27 years old, single and not in a relationship right now. I'm not feeling the pressure to get married too, being single doesn't mean you are lonely. I want to get married someday but only to someone I love and loves me too and someone I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. I don't want to be married for the sake of just being married, I wanted to be happy.

Well don't rush into it. Cia, you've seen some of my posts on love and marriage. They are cynical for a reason. You really should be careful stepping into the territory. Rushing it is asking for disaster. You also lose a realistic perspective if you dive head first into a relationship you haven't really analyzed. Yes I know what I'm saying could be a bit out there, but you really should think carefully and not rush yourself. Don't also make it a comparison or a race either, that's also disaster in waiting. If you do, you should get married because you really want to be with someone and you are prepared to do so; it should not be due to your friends getting married, parents pressuring you, or fear of aging, or anything else. If you do find someone true, excellent! I'll be cheering you either way you choose.

For me, there is no right time/ age to get married. Puff, suddenly you will just feel the desires to take vows with the person you love most. You will just feel it by heart that you are ready to commit yourself, to bind as one in the eyes of God. But there are some factors one should consider : financial stability of both, maturity and emotional stability. You should not worry Ciades, God prepares someone better for you and in the right time He will give him. I do believe in the power of prayers. Ask God to give you sign of who is worthy of your love and life.

I think between 22 and 25 is the right age for girls to get married and between 25 and 30 is the right age for boys to get married so that they can take care of their offsprings and live in a better condition, than facing the problems of late marriages.

a woman should marry when she is ready. 27 is not old. There is plenty of time to find the man you want to marry.These days women are marrying for the first time in their 30'sand even in their 40's.So when you are ready, you will find the right man and you will get married.Take care.

I think you know what is best for you. Dont get married for the wrong reasons or rush into something that isnt right. It will cause more heartache in the long run. Marriage is a big decision that should be made carefully.

you should get married when you feel like you already want the idea presented in marriage, when you are ready, emotionally and financially stable, and so what if others tell you that you should do this or do that, your life and your decision is not theirs to choose or understand, do what you feel is right.

I too think there is no right or wrong answer to this. A girl can be 18 and be mature and ready to get married or a woman can be 35 and not ready for that. You cant just rush into something and get married if you are not ready and have not found the right person just because you are at an age where everyone is looking at you and saying "what are you waiting for". relax take your time. Surily if the scientist found the right age and governments found enough reason (to benefit them) to pin pint an age they would have done it by now. ;)))

The right age is when the right guy comes along, and you are both emotionally and financially ready for a life together. For some people that could be in their 20's, while for others it might be in their 40's. It's something you really don't have control over! I think you have a great attitude about it though! Some people start worrying and get upset when they get older and aren't married or in a serious relationship yet. You're still young, and you've got lots of time to meet new people and build new relationships.

You should get married when you fall in love and find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. With that said, there is no age by which this has to happen. I have friend who fgot married before me and I have friends who are single and happy. As long you you are happy in life, then no worries about what other people think.

marriage - marriage can be done at any age above 18
There's no reason to worry. Nowadays marrying at the age of 30+ is quite common. As long as you keep an open mind you will have your chance at love. People go through life at different paces. Sometimes relatives tend to worry too much.

There is no right or wrong time to get married, for males or females! The way I look at it is that if you had a certain age where you were supposed to get married, and you hadn't found the right person by that age, could that lead to choosing someone who isn't quite the right person?! Really, it has nothing to do with age, it's more a question of finding the right person first, and the rest should all fall in to place!

I thinn that it is time when you have your own job to support yourself and when you are happy with your life. Also when you have a nice man to be qualified to get married to, then it is time. He must be someone who values and loves much before you think of marriage and go to the church for the wedding...

I definitely don't think there is a right or wrong age, and no requirements to marriage except that: -you have to want to marry -you have to be ready -and it has to be to someone that you truly love and trust and respect. I think you have the right ideas about marriage, and I'm glad you're not letting your friends and family force you into it, and that you are waiting for a sincere man whom you love and want to make such a commitment with. For some people, marriage isn't in the plans at all. I don't plan on marrying, I am content with having a life-partner but no 'official documents', but that's just me. Marriage and matters of love are not to be rushed into, and I wish you the best in one day finding a partner that you wish to 'settle down' with. =D
