At what age are most people getting married and have baby?

I don't know about "most people". I got married when I was 22 and my husband was 20. We married September 23rd and had our first child on July 20th. Some people look at us like we are too young to have a child, but we love him and work hard to take care of him. It is true that almost three years later we still don't own a house and we have had a bit of a roller coaster life (this is the third state we have lived in, my husband has had a number of jobs, my mom lived with us a year which was horrible, and my pregnancy with Marcus wasn't a good one), but the important thing is love and we have that for each other and for our baby (who is two now and growing so much).

In china it depends ,if you live in country , you will marry earlier ,maybe 24 or less . And if you live in a big city , especially you have a good job and you want to reach a high career object ,the age must be big, maybe 30 or more . I myself when I graduated from college ,I was 24 . And after work for one year, I got married in my age 25 .But most of my college classmate have not got a boyfriend or girefriend to married yet . And though I got married ,I don't want to have a baby in thia age ,because we can't earn so many money , and we want to enjoy our two life for several years . Maybe 30 , I will think about it.

that's absolutely true. i got a cousin who got pregnant when she was 16 years old. and she has not finished studies, and the guy too. they guys is just the same age as my cousin, or older by a year, but still, thinking about their future and what future can they give to their children makes me feel sad. getting married and having a baby should be taken seriously, being a parent means taking care of your children and providing their needs. i am getting maried 2 years from now, and i will be 24 then, my boyfriend is 2 years older than me! we both have finished college education and are having stable jobs!

Hi frend, Do you know in our country most of the people are mary at earlier age and they have baby. one of my best frends married at a age of 18 and he have 4 children.

I would want to get married at the age of 26, which I hope by that time, I am quite well with my work, stable, my family's well too. I agree with you that most couples marry at young age. What I dont understand is, despite that they are having a hard time, they are still proud.. 3 of my cousins married at young age.. and they still live with their parents. Then when we met, they kept on asking me when I would get married. It's like they are proud and have nothing to regret..

i think different people may have different ideas about it. For me, i prefer to getting married at the age between 27 and 30. And a girl may get married earlier at the age of less than 25. i don't agree with having a baby before marriage especially for women. They may be harmed if the couple finally don't get married. And the baby will also the victim. Bless your family!

I probably will not get married and have children until I am 30 to 35. My boyfriend and I want to really live before we have any children.

i think the situation is getting different day by day. all the way its also mixed bagagge. its better to settle down when you have steady job and career. it is needed. But now in my part of world, general people do not get married very early

I'm 24 and at this age,i feel the time is not enough for build a family so i'm under pressure .I've worked for one year and have no saving .Most importantly i'm not sure whether my lover is my wholelife partner I think most of people like that at this stage .Even that i'm still optimstic and will work hard for my future life and better enviroment to baby. once ready to raise a baby,it's a important assignment throughout my life so i think we need to make a enough prepartion before married.

At the very young age many couples get married and others get pregnant without marriage. They don't even think what life they could have if both of them doesn't know how to raise a family and I can't imagine their lives to be without stable jobs.Maybe we should think first before we do something that we could not regret at the end.

Most of my batchmates in high school and classmates in the university got married in the age range of 26-28. But now the trend seems to be that a lot of couples marry at such a young age. I noticed this the most with my boyfriend's coworkers and friends (same age as him, 23 years old). He's attended a number of weddings this year alone and will attend maybe 2 or more next year.

hopefully for the male the wright age is around 30-31 yrs. and the female between 25-28 years then they will have the baby and by the time the daughter/son attain the age of 18 yrs. parents will be around 48-50 yrs. no harm by the time their children will be settled when the parents are in the age group of 55 yrs. idle thing. in my case my elder son is 19 yrs doing engineering 2nd yr. and i am 51 yrs. margabandu www.succeedmyindia.com

In our country Most of the men marry at the age around 30. And women get married around 20 to 25. I don't know what is the average age of taking baby. But aroun 1 or 2 years after the marriege people take the baby. This is the old tradition of our country.

That depends on your definition of 'early age' - is it 19,20 or 21? I got married at 24, not long after I graduated from university. At that time, my husband and I didn't even own a house. We rented a house and I was still looking for a job. Now my daughter is 5 years old. We are doing fine, although we're not wealthy. Do you consider getting married at 24 too early or okay? Sometimes age is not the only factor to consider when a person makes a decision to get married (of course, legally, you need to be at least 18, I'm not talking about minor here). Attitude is more important than age. For instance, how one look at things that happen around them, how one deal with certain situations and how one handle his or her relationship with his or her spouse. A 30-year-old person can still act childish, if he or she doesn't have the right attitude, while a person in his or her early 20s can response to a marital problem in a more mature way. Family background and upbringing do affect a person's view or attitude towards handling certain situations, whether in a relationship, marriage, career and every aspect of life. In my opinion, as long as the couple is mature enough in terms of their thinking and attitude, and are both ready to take responsibility, there is no 'too early' or 'too late' an age to getting married. If there's a will, there's a way. If a couple is determine to make their marriage works, they will find ways to maintain it, and will give more than 100 per cent and not giving millions of excuses. If you look at those who divorce, amongst them are also lots of people in the middle age group or even older.

I had my daughter at the age of 20. My fiance (her father) will be married in 2009, in which I will be 21. We have bought our first home, and have 2 new cars. We are now doing renovations on our home. Luckily I am able to be a stay at home mother, while he works full time. I think that marriage and children all depend on the person. There are those who are just not ready and need more time, while others may be young but have it all together. I think most people though get married around 27/28 and have children around 30.

I was 31 when I got married. Shortly there after we were pregnant. But there was a difficulty and no baby. About 6 months later we were pregnant again and now have a 5 year old daughter. With another baby due before Christmas. Young couples can make it work. They just have to try a bit harder.

i got married at age 28 yrs old.. i had worked for more than 3 yrs. and got my first baby at age 31 yrs old.. and my little baby boy is now 10 months old. i worry for they who get married at early age.

Well I am 20 years old and I am 37 weeks pregnant its a long long wait to go but I am not married and kinda happy that I am not because it costs big big money to get out of the marriage.

Mine too like you, got married in 27. I settled somewhat better and so decided to take up as parent in 28.

Many of my cousins have gotten married in there early twenties. My cousin who is twenty one, is getting married in a few months and she is very happy. She plans on finishing her last year of college and having a baby around the ages of 23-24. So mainly most of my friends and relatives get married around their early twenties, some have yet to get married. And they have their first child around the ages of 23-25.
