Are you talking "starter marraige" or "real marraige"?
For a starter marraige, the 20's are good, for a real marraige, 30's or 40's.
Happy MyLotting!

I didn't know that there was a real and a not real( starter ) marriage ( something like a practice run? ), but apparently it is picking up - just noticed the new show "starter wife".
That notion is actually completely irrational to me, but who am I? LOL
20's are the best time to have fun, and be single at least for some part of it. A starter marriage does not seem to add anything to a person's life other than trouble. What happened to the old fashioned living together to see how things go? At least it would less complicated:)

it is not about the age its about the mature and ready for any circumstances in marriage life for it is not good to a couple to get married with out enough knowledge on how to deal with a family. it will be good also to have enough money to start building the family it will be useful too for we never know how much money will be involve to have a family and when there is a kids we have to give their needs to their future.

I don't really thing that there is a specific right or wrong age for getting married, different people mature and are ready for that kind of commitment differently.
That said I really don't advocate getting married too early. Youth is a wonderful time to learn, experience, make friends, grow. Sure there are people that get married at 18 or 20 and live happily ever after, but personally I feel it's a bit too early. I got married at 26, but of course that might be too old for many.
Main point: not too early. Not until a person is way into their 20's ( 23 up at least).
Why? many reasons but one keeps popping up within friends and acquaintances that got married much younger than I did. They are now over 40 and getting restless. They're thinking about all the fun they missed, all the things they didn't do, all the things they are curious about now. And with all that, their marriages are hurting somehow. This seems to be a huge pattern in people that got married early - but not in all of course.

nice question you have there. Well, as for me...if you will consider practicality...and no prob in money or with your partner...25 is the best. By the time your children reach their full grown age, you can still guide them in life. Now, age varies depending on financial capabilities of two partners at times...and greatly varies if love is not yet enough...if you think you are lacking at one point, considering your age is not that important...happy mylotting!

for me it's not the right age that matters it's the right time. If the two of you have a stable job and can support each other in any aspects of life then it's the right time to get married.
