Marriage is such a big thing that you can't just rush the moment without even thinking it through. A lot of people say that love is enough for a marriage to happen but I think we should be practical especially nowadays in which it's hard to earn a living. Age, I think doesn't play much of a factor here instead we look to the much important things like how well do you know your partner and how do you plan to manage your married life having your own family. I believe that first we must be able to establish a certain understanding between you and your partner in which you'll be able to distinguish him/her from other people such that you know that he/she is the only one that does/doesn't do this and at the same time the only person that is like this ans that. Then comes everything else like the house your gonna live in, the expenses you have to pay, the needs you need to provide. Everything should be planned, every single detail in your life should be prepared before taking any relationship to the next level. Now I ask everyone, can you get married right now?

i am married and will be celebrating out 9th year this august. so far so good. we also have a 5 year old son and his picture appears as my avatar. there is no right age in getting married as long as your are emotionally ready and financially ready then i guess you are ready. getting married is a big step so i agree in you that you really need to know your partner well before getting married. you both need to work hard to make it work. you both need to be matured to ride the marriage bus. i also like to welcome you here at mylot and hope you like it here.

Thank you for the nice greeting,i hope to earn here in mylot. You are right, you have to know everything about your partner,not just simple details but every bit of detail so you can work out everything that will come your way. My girlfriend and I will be celebrating our 4th anniversary in October,I know it is still a long way to go but we've been through almost everything,we are in a long distance relationship that's why experienced different kinds of conflicts and now we are just happy being together being able to understand each other's situation because of all the hardships that has happened :) thank you very much for the support :)

Wow... I do agree with you, marriage is such a big thing and you have to think so hard and assess your life before deciding abut this.. I am married, for more than 20 year now.. It's tough but we manage. I married when had a stable job and I was more or less 30 years old..

Should you get married?
Why do you want to get married?
If the moment is there you know and I can guarantee you it has nothing to do with a certain age.
