For those who aren't married or have children...

I agree absolutely!So your question might need to be changed a little bit into asking what condition you view perfect as to have a marriage and children. Sorry for the nitpicking.By now,I still hold the decision that I will not get married until I have a career when I am thirty and have no plan for kids of my own,but wish to adopt children. I always think to be a parent is more than a mere gift of life but also responsibility.If I cannot support myself I will not think I can support a family and even if cinderella accident took place,I do not want to trade my many rights for obedience.Just personal opinion. Best wishes

I agree it's best for people to get married when they're financially stable because then they'll start to fight about money and get involved in all these problems. I read somewhere that almost all divorces happen because of money. As for me I really don't plan on having kids or anything. I'll be going to school and I really don't want anything to happen during that time.

You can be financially stable all you want but if you're not mature enough to get married and have kids, you'll end up destroying your life, your partner's life, and your children's lives. So both financial stability and maturity are important before deciding to get married and have children.

I believe it is OK to get married earlier, maybe 20 or 22, but for having a baby, it is much better to ensure that your financial status are stable to raise a baby. Otherwise, there would much more likely to have family quarrels and would be harmful for the baby.

Hopefully I'm getting married by next year my age is now 24. Financial stable is very important for the family. And I planned to have a baby after 1 year of our marriage. I have to earned and saving money first before planning a baby for the future of my child.

who knows? lol! =) well, all of us have set an ideal age of getting married. Ideally, it is better to settle down when you and your partner are not just financially stable, but emotionally, spiritually and morally stable when it comes to the acceptance of pledge/vows that you will make. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so many things must be taken into consideration before pushing through with it. For me, once that I decided to get married, it is also the time to have children since it is natural and normal that when you get married, you are also ready for the responsibility of being a parent...

I would wanta get married around 19 and have kids in 3 or more years becuse i think you have to build you relationship with you hubby and then both deside rather to have kids or not but if my hubby wanted kids id have kids with him and yes being financially stable is a good thing.
