what is a good age to get married?

I really don't think age matters when it comes to settling down. As long as you are emotionally, financially, and psychologically stable then you are ready to get married. As to your last question, I really don't like the idea of getting married because you're pregnant (if you're a girl) or if you got a girl pregnant (if you're a guy). It only means that you're only marrying that person because of an unprecedented happening. I think the only reason, and the only valid reason to get married is that you both love each other and that both of you are ready.

People always consider several factors before getting married. Before I got married, I thought of these factors and they really helped me a lot. But there's one thing that a person should also consider especially if they plan to have kids. And that's getting married at an age wherein you can still play with your kid as he grows up. I mean, if you got married at 40, I don't think you could play football or basketball with him. So I guess an ideal age for me is around 25 years old. Not too old to play with your kid when say he's 10 years old (you're still in your 30s by that time) and not too young to have some experience in life.

Marriage makes sense when it makes sense if it ever makes sense; so the question for each relationship would be : does getting married make sense? It can be a grand romantic gesture, or it can be a legal move to save money on taxes or gain citizenship. Really, love is love and marriage should not be a determining factor of how long the love or how strong the love is, but merely a benefit should one choose to or wish to be in such a legally binding circumstance. Not being married does not mean one is any less committed or settled down with someone.

Marriage is a legal contract that is supposed to be binding for life. People should get married when they are ready to get married. Some wait and other don't. It is a matter of determining when you will be ready to fulfill your obligations under the marriage contract. Then and only then should you get married. If you are not ready to fulfill the obligations of marriage having children is not a good reason either. Legally children are protected by laws that force both parents to support them so the marriage contract is not needed for the children. In my opinion it is better to raise children with only one parent living in the household than putting them through the psychological devestations that divorce causes for many children. I think a better question would be, "what is the best state of mind to be in to get married"?

30, Mature enough, body is developed enough, not too young and not too old. I dont like the idea of teenagers getting married. Though some teen marriages are successful most of them are painful and abusive. I think people in their 20's like my self still want to enjoy life and achieve many things. Its so sick that in some countries little girls were being forced to marry by their fathers in exchange of money.
