i'm curious... what's the age most people get married? i've asked around here in our village and many couples got married when they were in their mid-20's... and around 4 couples told me they got married when they were still teenagers! wow!
i'm planning on getting married when i'm 23 or something. how about you guys? and if you're already married, what age did you do it? =)

I was 26 when I got married last year. I think it depends on when you meet the one you intend to make your spouse and the level of maturaty that both of you have. Some people are ready for marriage in their late teenage early 20's years. Others should probably wait longer. It all depends if you are ready for the committment of vowing to spend the rest of your life with that one person.

How come you don't ever want to get married? Sorry if that's a personal matter, just tell me it's none of my business!

Not at all. I think I have heard too many horror stories from friends about their husbands turning into other men once the ring is on the finger, and I have a trust issue anyway. But then who knows, if I fell head over heels in love then you never know. Have a great day :)

hi athinapie!
marrying age depends on how you plan your life. some want to get married on their early 20's while some who are still pursuing a higher education want to tie the knot when they are already financially stable. personally, i want to get married before reaching 30. at that time i would be done with my studying and hopefully financially stable plus ive met the guy i would love for the rest of my life. thank you

Okay, I got married the first time at age 20. It was way too young for me personally. The marriage lasted two years. I got married the second time at 27. I've been married a lot longer now than the first time obviously - 30 years. I'm a big advocate of waiting at least until your middle twenties at least to get married. My daughter is in a relationship at 21 now. My son won't even think of having a serious relationship until he's out of school (or he hasn't met the right girl yet).

I want to get married at the age of 25-27 and hopefully I will be stable and can manage to have my own family.

there's no exact age in getting married. as long as both of you are emotionally and financially stable and ready then go on.. =) also, getting married is a big decision that must be decided a million times! especially when divorce is not legal in your country! haha! =)
for me, my marrying age ranges from 23 to 25 yrs. old. =)
