Recently, I felt that in my town area, there is a trend that among youngsters. They get married only when they are in age 16-21. Why? Because of babies as most of the reason. It is horrible as how worst it could be turned into in the future! Ya, maybe some of u may think that early marriage is not somthing wrong. Yet, for me, it is! It makes life dull as we cant explore more in this world. We cant try something new. In what age do you set as ur marriage age? Do u think before? Lolz.. actually, I do not think of it before. Until now, I also duno. I dont want it to come so fast as I still wish to learn more and explore more and more.. You?

Initially, I want to get married at age 25 because I know that I am stable by that time but When I turned 25, I know I was with the wrong guy. I know I am not going to marry this guy. To cut the story short, I got married at age 33 and I never regretted it. Just take your time. Don't let the environment pressure leads you to something you really don't want to engage in.

When I was in college my friends and I used to talk about it and I told them that at the age of twenty-five years old. I should be settle, with a good husband and a stable job but it is not easy. I am turning twenty next month and I don't even have first boyfriend. I've dated three guys but I didn't feel the magic! I wanted to try to have a boyfriend but he should be stable enough to love for I am not easy to love.

Ya.. my friend and I also used to talk about this topic. Coz among my friends, some also having suddent marriage. *Shock* I always tell my friend not to find a guy, but to wait for the appearance of a guy. Because waiting 1 will better than finding 1. (is my own opinion).Yet, every1 have their different views. So dont worry abt it coz u r still young. I am also will reach 20 in coming Dec.

my ideal age for marriage is 33-35.before i get married, I should have my own house and car,my own savings,and my own business.in that way, if the marriage failed I have my own money and assets.I could take care of my future children even without financial support from their father.

Well i guess it depends of verious people. For you, you feel that you are not ready as there were more things that you want and NEED to explore...For some people, what thet can't wait for is the married life, motherhood or fatherhood ro starting a family. To them, maybe it's something important, they'll feel ready and thus they don't feel that it's an inappropriate age. Well to me, i'll get married when i feel ready and i hope that would be below 30 because one of the things i can't wait to experience is motherhood. Well you'll know at that point of time if you are ready so i can't really say how it would feel like to be ready...=] Hope that time will come for you eventually one day..take care ^_^

I agree with you ,when we get married we stop moving in our own life.I'd like to try a lot of things before get lockup..Find a steady job ,then find a good girl.

When I was younger, I told myself to get married between 23-24 years old. I was not yet prepared when I reached that age and I don't have a serious relationship yet so I have tried to wait until the right person for me has arrived in my life. I am 30 years old now, childless and not yet married but me and my bf are planning to live-in together before we get married. I think I am responsible and made the right decisions in my life.

There is no standard for the universal married age. It is personal pick. You can get married as young as you are allowed. Or you can get married as old as you want it. For me, I want to be married now. Unfortunately, the real "One" not really showing up in front of eyes yet. I always want to be married as early as I can, but I have no control of it, can we? So, just wait and prayer.

Hi, Actually the marriage age shouldn't go beyond 30. It is better to be in the tie when you are 23or 25. If you are late you miss lot of things that are attached to matrimony. I had set it when I was 25 but it went up to 27 when I got married. so if you are planning go and get it.

When I was young I always tell myself that I will get married at the age of 25 unfortunately I got pregnant and married at the age of 19! But I think the best age is 29 or 30. When you reach that age you would be financially and emotionally stable to handle a new life with a partner and family.

I always wanted to get married young, like my mother. But I always knew that I wanted to marry somebody like my father, because they have a very goodrelationship and I always looked up to them, so thank god I found the right person and he wanted to settle down when I met him, I was a little doubtfull but he convinced me, now we have been together for 4 years and I've been with him since I was 19, but we married when I was 20 and now 3 years later have a beautifull newborn baby girl. I think it has a lot todo with finding the right person.

I believe 30 will be the best age for a marrige. Because at that age we'll get a muture on the phsical and mental, we have the capability to deal with family matters and finicial problems in a sensible way. I will have my wedding when i am 30.

Hmm, for me I would have to say 25. Why? Because that is how old I am, lol. :-) I have plans to be married sometime this summer. :-) Deciding to marry someone is a very serious commitment. :-) You have to make sure that you are emotionally (and financially) prepared. :-) I think you will know when the time is right for you to be married. For me, it was a very easy decision. The person who I want to spend my life with has a calm and serene temperament just like I do, which leaves little time for arguing. :-) My partner and I tend to laugh a lot, so we always keep each other amused. :-)

for girls the marriage should be 22-23 and for boys 28 . the best reason all feel that the girls parent feel security of their daughter , as they should prevent her from doing something wrong . In another case if more members are there means they are forced to do so , for the burden to get reduced.

I think people should make use of some factors: 1) How much a person earn : Most of the marriages face problem because of money crisis. People get married earlier when they do not have enough earning power and then they tend to live stressful life. 2) Bank Balance: This particularly can help in emergency situations and one should evaluate it before getting married. 3) Work Life Balance: This is self explanatory. If we consider the above points i think 25 is a good enough age to marry. results may vary per person,

I didn't set an age. I did my own thing until I found the right guy, and I got married when I was 29. I'm glad I waited. I traveled all over the country with nothing and no one to tie me down. I think everyone is different. Some people are ready for marriage and children right out of high school. I was SO not ready to marry anyone then, much less have children. I didn't even think I wanted children when I was in my 20s. Then I hit 30 and it was like a light switch. Now I am absolutely itching to have a child. It's funny how it just hits you.

I think the best age to marriage is hard to say ,because everyone has his ideas.You may think that it is better to marriage after you graduate ,but he may think the best time is the day you have enough money to buy the house and are very successful in your work . As you know ,every country has different lows to make the marriage age obey to the law .I think the time should not before the law time is good .because every one has his different choice.

But now as a university student,I guess 25 is too soon. Since I will graduate at the age of 23, I guess maybe 27 or 28 would be more suitable.I want to devote myself to my career for several years before getting married

When I was young,I used to consider 25 as my marriage age ,sort of because my mother got married when she was 25.
