settling down

Im 26 and still feel too young to settle down, right now Im working hard and saving up money to finish my travel plans, Ive already done some travelling but theres so much I want to see in the world and Im not going to be able to do it married and with kids, so maybe I'll settle down in a few years,Im not in any rush, right now I know Im not ready, so Im assuming that when the right time is here I will know it! Dont rush anything, enjoy your freedom, decide what you want to do in your life and enjoy it!

i don't think there is a best age. i guess the answer is when are you ready? to have a family especially to have kids is really a big sacrifice. you're still young you can still enjoy what life has to offer. i got married at 25 sometimes i have some regrets that i should have this or that but still when you you have your own children, everything changes.

I think it is lovely to go off traveling whilst still being quite young. I bought my cottage when I was 19 years old. In my early twenties I went on a journey around the world. After that I got married and had a baby son. In my mid twenties I did my degree and teacher training. Then I became a primary school teacher. My marriage lasted for six years. I had two more children in my mid to late thirties. I think that it varies from person to person how ready he or she is to settle down. For the average person I think that it would be best to get married around age 25. Then it would be lovely to have babies at ages 28 and 30. Then the children would have a two year age gap. Some people don't get married until they are 35 years old then the ladies biological clock will slow down considerably sometime around the end of the thirties. It would be best to have children before age 40.

hi sugaree, I cannot give you a specific number of age in which a person can marry because it all depends on the maturity of both the persons involved in the relationship. For example, I am 25 years old now and some of my classmates who are younger than me have their own families now. If you will think, I must be the first one to have a husband and kids but I am not settling down yet. It is because I think I am still not mature enough to handle a family of my own. If I will marry just because I want to be with my boyfriend forever, I am afraid our relationship will be in bad situation because I still feels incomplete of myself. Somehow, I do still want to help my family and improve my career more before settling down. Going into a marriage life is a very easy thing, but when you are at it already, and you want to back out, it won't be that easy. For example, as of now, I feel that my boyfriend is the best man for me but when we get married and he becomes my husband, will I still feel same way? Of course,I do not know that is why I wanted to be sure of my feelings for him before I marry him. Because once we are married and I found out that he is not the man I want to be with for the rest of my life, I cannot give him back to his parents anymore. And that is what I am avoiding. I want a happy and secure life in the future so for me, we must take things easy before getting into marriage life.

You are still young, you should be enjoying first your singlehood. Give yourself some 5 more years to help your parents and save for yourself. Buy anything you want and go to places you want to go. Enjoy with your friends. And when you are ready, look for someone to love and settle down.

hi sugaree i'm not married yet but i wanna share my thought on this discussion because i wanna have my own family someday too.. the best age to get married? i don't have the exact number but i think it's when you're stable-financially and emotionally.. that's when i want to get married someday when i can support my future needs of my family and when my mind is mature enough to accommodate not only my own emotions but the emotions of my future family..when you start a family you are responsible to provide their needs first before your own.. before settling down i want to have a house, explore my county- the Philippines, and enjoy being single after that i think i can settle down.. you're still young enjoy being single..be yourself and you'll know when is the best time to settle down. good luck!

There is no definite or required age for any one to get married. If you are not yet ready to settle down, then don't. Time will tell if you are indeed ready. You are still young and the doors of opportunities and possibilities are within your reach. It is all right to look forward to a family life as early as of today. Dream of having a house to be your home; save not for the rainy day but for the things that you want in your life; do trek across the country and see the places that you wanted to see.

i will be 26 on coming September 20, but i have not planned yet to get married and settled down. However, i have a girlfriend she loves me a lot....she is doing her final year of graduation...after complete her graduation she wants to get married but i have not agreed yet...i am out of my country and earning little bit. when i will be able to do something in my own country...that time i will get married...it may take maximum 3 years.
