What is the preferrable age for a partner to get married?

Hi makouvex! well 22 is a-ok age to get married - for as long as you know exactly what marriage is really all about. I am 26 and me and my significant other has already been together for almost 5 years now. A lot of people are pushing us to get married already but then again we dont let pressure get into us, coz marriage is not a joke, its a lifetime status. it is something serious. A friend told me this rule of thumb: if you have .9999 doubt on idea of getting married --- dont get married. =)

I think it depends on whether or not the two of you are ready for marriage. It can have its ups and downs or just not work out! Have the two of you been living together? Sometimes living with someone helps give you a better idea of what married life could be. Communication is really important, if you have these thoughts, are you sure she is ready to commit to you? You need to speak with her about these possibilities and work it out. Good luck!

I agree that you don't have to get married just to be committed though its true that you could only get to know the person better if you are living together and you have seen her worst and best self. I am not advising you that consider cohabitation or living in coz if you are really to marry her, then do it and make a plan for birth control so that you can avoid having a baby sooner than you want it. There are lots of ways now that might be suitable for you and your beliefs. There's no particular age for marriage, it all depends on the person's maturity - emotionally, spiritually, psychologically and finacially. According to some laws, you can marry as early as 18 so you must check that too but if you'll ask me, its better if you ask yourself if you are to give up your being single just to be with your love 24/7.

if i were to choose, i think age 25 is the best age to get married.. but of course it also depends on the couple's maturity level if they can already handle a lifelong relationship and the responsibility of raising a family of their own.. age is just a number, what's important is their ability to create a new basic unit of society..

hello,firstly, i should congratulate you to find a partner who causes u the idea of marriage. after all, many of us even don't have boy/girl friend.everyone would marry another,earlier or later. the key point is once u marry, u should give up much,such as the single life,and take up much. so think over,it has nothing to do with your age. just ask yourself: am i ready?
