I got married at a very young age. (I'd rather not disclose it.) I found it hard at first because I didn't get to do a lot of things that I wanted to do with my life as now I'm always busy taking care of my family. but I never regretted it, I will always have the time to do them when my kids grow up. And my family's a true blessing. I wouldn't want my life to turn out any other way.

I'm not completely sure you can set an age to get married. It might work out, if you are already with someone you love, but if not, it could be a problem. If you have it set in your head to be married by a certain age, you may settle on a person just to get married, whether they're the right person for you or not. You should get married when the time is right for you. Follow your heart, so to speak.

for me, i would marry at the age of 27.. there are many things to consider before entering the said phase of life. the very first reasons i believe is to be ready emotionally and financially. emotionally, we have to be ready in giving up our material wants, our time for peers, and the likes. building a family is about giving quality time, giving affection, love, and care to children and partner. financially, of course it means the money matters. each has a need that needs to be given. the basic are food, shelter, clothing, and education. therefore, budgeting for all the expenses and consumption is a skill needed to have.. it is a big responsibility. and with my current situation, i think i would be ready enough when i reach 27. but, before thinking of those responsibilities, i should need to have a boyfriend 1st.... hehehehe!

Arrow piercing two hearts - This picture announces that whatever fate has in store, two people are in love!
"..one more year before which you love to take your decision..." or One more year before which you take decision to love..? I notice a psychological slip of the mind, Xorticanz! You're right about your plans. Concentrate on MBA, get a job, become "steady" with your GF, and get married a year into the job. All the best!

Well, I think you are in the right age. For as long as you think you are stable and mature enough and financially capable then there is no problem. Well, I am already married. I got married at the age of 30. My wife is about the same age. I would have wanted to marry early but the thing is, I we do not have enough money yet. So it was at the age of 30 that we were able to finalized everything and decided to go with our plan.

I'm 28 and the marriage is the last thing I have in my mind. I want to be married, of course, someday but I don't know when will that happen. I'm in no rush. If ever I get married someday, I wanted to be at the right time. I don't want to get married and then regret it in the end.

Hi, You are still young and it is good that you have a goal in your mind and have decided to settle down at the age of 27. For guy, 27 is still young and the more you can goes is till 30-35 for marriage. As for me, I got married when I was 28..and now I am a mother of one little boy. I am also a degree holder and used to work before I got married. But now, I am a fulltime housewife.I really hope I will have chance to go back to workforce society one day once my son has grown up.

Wow!! It really is modern age now. I got married when I was 24 and it was considered quite normal. I think 30 is the new 21, I think. It is becoming more common that people wait till they are 30 or more to get married. 30 was old in my time. Time sure have changed.

It's good that you stay focused on your goals first with the education. Marriage is serious and it takes alot out of a person so continue to have these time frames.

Well I think instead of age, it matters with heart. I am 19, just turned 19 actually. And my fiance is 23. We will be getting married within the next two years, after we have both saved up enough money. I always hoped that I would be wed before 21, and luckily for me, one man swept me off my feet. Good luck to you, you are going to go far in your life, with the way your going. You seem very smart. I wish you the best, and hope that everything works out for you. To be married before 21 =], Leah
