I feel that people should get married BEFORE they go out and experience lots of different things. They should want to experience those things together. That is what deepens the bonds. I feel that a lot of people go out and attach themselves emotionally to all kinds of different people and that is not good. I desire a certain amount of purity in my life and sometimes I wish I had never been with another woman before I got married because it taints me sometimes. "Jasmine did this, Laura did that, Erica would have never treated me like that, etc." If you ask me, the younger the better. Marriage is a life journey and life union that is not meant to be shared or tainted.

There is no prefect age for marriage. It depends completely on the couple, and how compaible they are with eachother, and also on how mature they are as individuals. My sister got married at nineteen and it worked out great, I got married at twenty-five and it worked out great, my moher got married at twenty-one, and it did not work out great.

There is no "perfect age" for marriage. I think that because people mature differently, one cannot say that any age is the perfect age.
I do think alot of people jump into marriage because they think they are passing some certain age point and think they have to be married by a certain age, and this causes many divorces.
Something I think should be considered is for people to live together for a year before marrying. I think this would cut down considerably on the divorce rate. It wouldn't eliminate it by no means, but I think people would actually discover what they can and cannot accept from a life partner. Some habits are just unacceptable to some people.
Just my thoughts on the matter.

no,i think people can get married whenever they want,but above 20.because teenagers can't support families and ofen make choices with no thinking,right?
but we shouldn't make a perfect age for mariage.after all,two adults can become lovers must have some reasons,right?so they can choose whether they get married or not,and making a perfect marriage age is reeally useless.
