I am around 28 years old. I am planning to get married in the next year or the year next. Am I getting too late for married? Which is the ideal age for getting married? I am planning to make some savings and try to settle down after that. What do you think? Should I get married very soon or after one or two years?

I hope 28 is not too old to get married....as I'm 30 and still not married LOL. My wedding date will be nov, 2008. Don't worry too much about what others thing, marriage is between you and your partner. If you feel that you are mentally prepared to be married, financially stable and that he/she is the right one....go for it! I'm a very conservative person and think that marriage is forever, therefore, i want to find the right one...or rather the one whom i can trust wholeheartedly. Don't rush into it, my friend!

Yes, there is no age for getting married.
No, you are not getting late or something, 28 is just fine :)
Yes, ofcourse, money can be a problem. Now you need to support your family not just you only, but the whole family will depend on you.
If you marry after one or two years, that really depends on you.

There is no right or wrong time to get married. Some people get married early in life while others take a little bit more time. Don't rush love or marriage. Just make sure that when you get married that you truly do love the person and that you can live with them (through thick and thin, good and bad). If you think you should wait then wait. Once again, don't rush it.

yes, I agree with you lady_vincy
before married, we do have to make sure that our partner is the right person, and we truly love the person and we are able to live with them in every condition, whether it's happy or sad. yes, that's right. no need to rush..

You should get married when you find the right person. Age and money shouldn't stop you from starting your life with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.especially these days, women are having children later in life these days so there isn't a rush to get married.

Well personally speaking this age is never too late to get married and also there is no ideal age to get married.Most of the males marry in the age of 26-28,so it is not a big problem.I think savings is a good option.I think finding the right match is a big thing,because if you get the right match be it any age or anything your life will always be happy.Its just that you need to find a good partner,so that she can back you at every step you take.

I got married when I was in my 30's already. I see your age to be ideal age for marrying but also you have to consider not only the age but how mature you are in getting married. Meaning you already are pretty much ready emotionally to enter into marriage. Also you have to consider your partner, do you really think that he is mature enough to handle you as his partner for life. Don't bother about the age think more about your readiness to put your life into it.

It's never too late to marry the one you love! More times than not people get married too soon, but I have never heard of someone marrying too late, besides 28 is still very young!!

oh at age 28 somebody should be knocking at your door, if none yet get prepared to get one. by next year you will be 29 and i guess you are a lady, like you know women attain menopause at age 40-45, some at age 38, so make up your mind for marriage and choose that right person so that you can live right life for the right moment.

Well,I think you should trust you feelings.If you are in love with your partner,you may talk with he or her,I think the best way is you both decide when to marry.Marriage is a very secred and solemn thing,it sometimes very hard to make right decision,a firend of mine is now in perplexity with his lover,well,I am now very far from him,I just can pray for him.

I dont think it matter how old you are. If you arent ready your not ready. I would wait if thats what your gut is telling you but if your gut is telling you to go for it then do so i would do whats best and what you think is right for you

Nowadays there is no limit of age for a person to get married. A person can marry at whatever age they wish as long as the two of them could live happily and intimately together. I learn that a new mom around 30 could give birth of healthier baby. So it is quite nice for you to get married at such age.

You should get married when you feel comfortable doing so. It doesn't matter what your age is.
I got married for the first time when I was 28 and I came to regret it. It was huge mistake.
Now, I'm about to get married again and I'll be 40 soon. I wish I'd waited longer before, but you never know what's going to happen.
Either way, age has nothing to do with getting married, provided that you're legally past the age of consent.

HI,
I hope there is not age limitation to get married. But if one wants to produce children then it is better to get into well planned marriage and also it not sure that every marriage would go on smoothly as long as those partners are well going. Anyhow it upto a person or individual decide when to married according to his other conditions that are related to maintaining a family life.

I think you should get married when you find someone you really love and who really loves you. Someone who is willing to really work on the marriage with you. I got married at 42 years of age. That would be too late if you wanted to have children, but not if you just wanted someone to love, a companion to grow old with like I do.
I've seen too many people get married and get divorced. So make sure the person is the one you really want and some savings first is good, marriages usually work out better if there is less stress caused by financial problems. Take care and I wish you luck in your future.

I got married at 18. I got divorced 11 years later to the date. I didn't marry for love or anything of that nature. I later found out that I married a gay man. I don't think you should get married unless YOU are ready to. It is a commitment not to be taken lightly. If I could do it over I would right now be 29 and still not married. I found out that it isn't where I want to be right now, and that's the best decision for me right now. There shouldn't be a rush to get married. My dad said that I won't be cute forever and I need to find the one and settle down soon. My age might be catching up to me one day. So, really, what I am saying is that you need to do it for you with the one you are absolutly positive you want to spend the rest of your life with!! Good Luck!!
