When do people marry? Some marry when they feel they have reached maturity. Some marry when they have enough money to care a family. Some marry when their parents compel, some even when their parents allow.There are people who elope with their lovers and finally some when they get a proper alliance.Whatever it be, you will have your own calculations and views right? Can we discuss on this topic

Well, that depends on how you are prepared for it. It does not matter how young or old are you for as long as you have achieved every factor or aspect entering to the married status, then go for it. The factors and aspects of a married life are as follows: 1. Emotional 2. Financial 3. Spiritual 4. Moral 5. Social If you are able to achieve those mentioned above and you think you are at the proper age in handling and managing your own family, why not. You should not be that young that you have to run to your parents when a problem exists or that old enough that you won't be able to reproduce your genes. It is a decision that cannot just be thought once and twice. It has to be deeply and seriously be think about.

the best time to marry is when you had a good living and already finished your lajor respopnsibilities. its true that you are obligue to be married after being stable and had already matured... one more important matter is that when you had already found the girl that will makes you truly happy... and can be with you all the time. i think thats the most difficult thing to find..

I don't think there is a set age to marry - it depends on when you feel ready and when you have met the right person.

I was 23 when I got married, that seems like it was a pretty good age. I was in to my carreer and could afford to get married and move my wife and I to a home of our own. I think if you are able to afford to live on your own then likely you are ready to be married, but then again it depends on how you feel. Have you done some of the things that you wanted to do while you are still single. Do you think you are ready for the commitment? That is what is most important.

I dont think that age is a requirement for marriage, and yes, we do marry when we reach at certain level of maturity. In a religious point of view, we marry because we want our marriage to be sanctified as observed in ceremonies, legally, people get married to commit themselves into the legal binding and commitment of each other. As a human being we need someone to be close in our hearts and we do believe in soul mates and its fulfillment, with these reason, people get married. As of the issue as to when, people like yourself will determine that when you have found someone you want dearly to be with, the rest of your life (ideally!, LOL).

That is the question of the hour isn't it? No, actually most peoples lives, huh? Anyway, I think a person is ready to marry when they understand the significance of what marriage is. It is an absolute covenant and is not meant to ever be broken aside from one of the two parts passing on. Most people throw marriage around like I throw my dirty socks on the floor after a long day. No matter how rough or tough it gets, when you say I do, that means that you will stand by your spouse no matter what- for better or worse. I'm not sure at what age a person can understand this, but when they do, I think they are ready for marriage.

My partner and I have lived together for six years and we'll probably never get married. We can always think of much better things to do with the money rather than waste it on a wedding. In my country our legal status is the same, so it really doesn't make any difference.

It depends on you when you feel that you're ready.If you're emotionally mature and financially stable and have stablished your realtionship,then you'e ready to walk down the aisle.

I made a mistake getting married too immature. From my experience I say when you have a complete education, good paying job, a home to go with, have all your finances straight then you can marry. Also you need to understand what it takes to make a marriage work. If you're like those people that runs and has affairs at the first sign of trouble then don't bother. Marriage is work and takes both to deal with it.

I think we can marry when we get to the age admited by the law. If we love each other ,no matter what difficulties we meet ,I will marry her !

I married at the age of 42. Why? coz i just found what i wanted for a man. I guessed when you think that you are mature enough to handle everything and you think that you loves him no matter what your age is, doesn't matter at all. Have a good day.

I remember that I read an article on this subject.the article says that the most appropriate age for men is 25-26 and for women 22-23 i think this limit can show changes from one country to another.every countries have different possibilities on education or economic income,..etc...

I got married when I was nineteen although that was because I got my girlfriend pregnant and my family and friends told me that this was the right thing to do. The marriage lasted only five years and then I got married again after about five years and this lasted about five years. I was much happier with my second marriage but that didn't last either. So then I went about ten years and I got married again and this only lasted about two years because I didn't want to change my ways to her liking. So now I am looking for a new wife and then I am going to settle down this time for sure. Crocket.

when i was in my college years, i always tell myself that i would marry when i reach the age of 25. but when i've met my husband, i forgot all about it, after having been in the relationship of 6 months, we did want to get married at once...

I think when you realized that mary is not just only two people lived together,but also a kind of responsibility , (responsibility to the family ,to your wife or husband and so on) then you can marry. because in my country, sometimes marry is a thing of two family rather than two people!
