Is there really an IDEAL AGE in getting MARRIED?

When we had our family reunion, a topic about the young single cousins cannot be avoided. Some of my cousins got married before they reached the age of 25 while others got married at the age of 25 and beyond. One of my aunts told me that I should really prioritize my studies first and she suggested that I get married at the age of 24. My mother heard about it and she beg to disagree because she wants me to get married at the age of 30. For me, if God permits, I would like to get married at the age of 24 or 25. My reason is so that when I reach the age of 35, my child is already 10 years old. In my opinion, there is no ideal age for marriage as long as the person is 18 years old and above since that is the legal age in my country and the couple is responsible and stable enough to raise a family of their own then let the groom kiss his bride. How about you? Do you have an ideal age in getting married? If you are already married, can you tell me some of your reasons why you decided to get married in that particular age?

For me,my ideal age for marriege is at the age 26-27 years only.Above than 28 years,i think it is not good.I said like that because in my country,we finish our study at 23 or 24 above.I think we still can pay back our parent effort to grow us.

Ideal age??? Hey let's face it everyone has an opinion about this. And as a friend of mine once told me "Opinions are like armpits, everyone has a couple and some stink!". Although you may not say this out loud it makes a great mantra when your family and friends drill you with questions like " Sooooo when are you going to get married?"
Best advice:
Find the right person first and don't worry about the age issue. Happiness in marriage isn't about an age it is however about the mate.

In my opinion the ideal age for marriage is when you feel that you can take the responsibility of running the family may be after 25 years, myself I got married at 27 years now its been 5 years with a lovely son ....Happy Mylotting

For me tracy, there is no ideal age for marriage as long as you are physically, emotionally and financially stable, there's no problem. I' 26 year old when I got married. It's not yet too late. I'm blessed with a lovely daughter and a loving husband.

When I was still young, I wanted to get married by age 25. But when I was already 24, I ask myself If my current bf then is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, if he's the one I am growing old with. You know what's the answer, it's a big "No". I see so many bad traits on him - he has too much credit card debt, he is too messy with his things, he are too brand conscious in buying his things, etc. Luckily before I turn 25, we split. lol. I finally got married when I was 32. It may not be my ideal age but it really worth the waiting. Btw, I was married to another guy who are very responsible and god fearing. I met my husband when I was 28.
