Ideal age of getting married

If I can go back in time, I'd prefer to get married in my late 20's. Coz I think at that age, we have a stable job and that we have grown emotionally mature. We are ready to face our responsibilities and it is the stage where the first step of achieving our goals for the future happens. I married at 22, 3 months before graduation. Although both my husband and I were able to graduate I still think that if we could have waited longer, we could have had a much better life now coz we could have passed the licensure examination without distractions and I might have furthered my studies, which I originally planned. The advantage would be having kids with lesser age gap. You get to still play with them like your little brother or sister. And you can have better communication with them unlike for those couple who has an age gap like 40 years. A lot of misunderstanding arises because parents are not aware of "things" that are happening around them. I never wished for a grand wedding. I just wanted a simple one as long as families and close friend can be able to share the momentous event with me. I was wed at the Archbishops' Palace and the wedding was officiated by Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin. The reception was in a Hotel in Makati. The reception was not my idea, it was the idea of my sister in law. All I ever wanted was to be wed by Cardinal Sin which I have always thought of since I was young.

I don't think one should marry too young. Even though people are adults by the law at 18 at most places, they should wait at least until they are 21 to get married, because at 16-18, they are still a bit immature, and they don't have a clear perception of themselves or a clear view of the world... also threy have to experience a lot in real life to become good partners... like understanding others' feelings, making compromises, act seriously at time when it is needed. Also, it' good if the couple lives together for some years before wedding, in a situation when they can actually see how they can get accustomed to each other and manage hoöusehold chores and money and stuff.

There is no such thing sammy.. It just depends on the person if she/he is ready on the responsibility that marriage can give us.It is not easy.

Men can marry as long as they're ready to commit themselves to their wife alone (unless their culture allows them to have more than one wife) and they can support their family financially. Men don't have to worry about marrying late. Some women prefer older males anyway. On the other hand, most women want to get married in their 20's. I think women worry more about this than men. Women always want to look young and beautiful when they walk down the aisle. Besides, women's egg cells deteriorate as they age. As a woman, I wish I could get married before I hit 30. Having said that, I won't get married unless I'm ready. It's a huge mistake to marry just because of age. We would hear people say, "I wish my spouse and I waited before we got married!" instead of "I'm glad my spouse and I married early!" I've never heard of anyone regret marrying late. So it's wise to take your time and evaluate yourself before you start a new chapter in your life. Don't worry about age. It's just a number.:D

Nowadays, the ideal age to get married is ranging at the age of 25 to 30. But it depends on the culture context, some it is more younger than this age. For me, a simple wedding can do.

My ideal age is at early 20's. I am now 23 and I am not yet still ready to get married. I am still afraid to commitments. Parenting is a lifetime commitment and it needs a lot of adjustments. I think I'm not yet ready emotionally, mentally and financially. I am not that too much asking for a grand wedding. All I want is a very solemn wedding.

No marriage is ideal i agree with that statement. No marriage is pefect. The ideal age to get married there is none. If u don't want to be married at say 18 19 20 or even 21 like a young age then don't get married. If you think you are ready at a young age and think you can handle a marriage and have the money and such then get married young. I know people who have gotten married at 18 21 and such young ages. Me i got married at 28 but only because i wasn't ready at a young age and had not found the right person for me.All marriage is an adventure. I used to want a grand wedding when i was younger but the older i got the less i wanted that. So when the time came to plan my wedding i just invited close to 100 people and it was a nice wedding not a grand huge princess Diana kind of wedding or a rich famous person's kind of wedding. I thought what was more important was having a good marriage over a grand wedding, but a very nice wedding i wanted and had. Weather or not you have a grand wedding is totally up to you and weather or not you can even afford it and if the guy wants this as well.

I do not think that there is a ideal age to get married.I feel that there are spome people that rush into getting married and it ends in tears and that there are other people that tend to be together rather than get married and last for ever. I do feel that there are people that are not mature enough to get married, also marriages that people stay together for the sake of children, or to say that they are married to feel like one of their friends.

My ideal age of getting married was around 25 ans above. :)

I think the ideal age for marriage is at the age of 25 to 30 if you found the right person for you. At a later age, a woman will have a hard time delivering a baby because she is somewhat old already and when her son turns 21, she is probably in her sixties. That is what I see if one marries at the later age. However, one cannot foretell what lies ahead. Wait for God's timing always. Have a nice day!

I'd say ideally around the ago of 25. That way you've had time to be young and do stupid things but you're still at a prime age to start a family if you are ready. I think that people who get married too young are forced to grow up too quick and possibly make rash decisions.

Hi! I think in earlier times, its ok to get married a young age, but now from how I see it, the trend is that people get married at a later age. Though there are few isolated cases that couples get married young. I think laws of the Church also has something to do with couples getting married at a later age. Because they are not allowing couples that are too young to wed. And if you would be asking me my preference on this, I would like it for couples to wed on a later age, not too late, but not too young. And also if money is not an issue, of course the grander the wedding the better or should I say the best. Because for me, a wedding is like a fairy tale that came true. But of course, money is always an issue so I would prefer it to be a not so big wedding, but not to simple as well.

i don't think there is an ideal age of getting married in my own opinion the big question here is are you financial stable emotionally matured to handle a married life. Are you ready to enter a new world? Are you ready to be a parents soon? Will you able to give a good way of living to your future family? well if u are able and confident enough to face this things i may say you can get married....

In my family, I think the ideal age to get married is late 20s. But I learned in my psychology class that 25 is the ideal age because at 25, that is when a person is more or less where he or she wants to be, and has a pretty clear idea of what he or she wants out of life. At 25, you're a quarter of century old. And by that time, you should have some sort of specific direction you want to be on, and who you want to share your life with. I agree with 25, and I personally also think it's the ideal age. It's not too old, and neither is it too young. But to each his or her own, it's really up to the people involved to decide for themselves when they are ready for that kind of commitment. I think if at that age, I cannot afford an extravagant wedding, I'd opt for a smaller wedding.. and then a bigger one later when it is more affordable. I want to be married but not broke, so I'm not the type to spend beyond my means or cutting it close with my finances.

There is no preferential age for marriage. The time to get married is when you have met the person who you would like to spend the rest of your life with. If this occurs at a early age then fine, but if it occurs very late in life then that is fine also. It is not uncommon for people to make rash decisions because they feel that time is slipping them by, but this is not the basis of a good marriage and is in clear danger of ending in divorce or separation.

Girl should get married till 25 and boys can marry till 30 but if more means not good. Start from 18 to 25 for girl and 22 to 30 for boys. But now no age for marriage because last month I read a news 102 years man get married and his wife get pregnant in 52 years of age.

I dont think there is really a right age to get married. I was married at 20 years old. I had been working and living alone since I was 16 here. Some people think that once we are adults its ok to get married. BUt I think everyone is different.

Hmmm...There is no good, ideal, or perfect age for getting married. It is when you are ready to make a life long commitment and are willing to make marriage work come hell or high water. Getting married is not about age its about your readiness like are you ready to get tied and do you have finance for the marriage and for future use (savings, jobs). When you are 100% certain there is nobody out there that is better than your love.

I often heard about the ideal age thing,But I think there is no such thing as ideal.But I prefer to settle down or get married at the age of 30 because I want to see my children how they look like. If we marry earlier, we can see our kids early and its easy to give birth, we can have more babies.But the opposite or disadvantages are,We are not fully mature to hold the responsibility as a parent.We cannot really give good future for our children because we don't have enough savings.

Hi Sammy! To be honest, I believe you get married once you feel like doing it. In my opinion, people should think a lot before taking this step. People do mistakes pretty often. That's responsibility, you can't just leave it behind you. I don't think there's certain age because it's up to the personality.
