Getting married early is bad

I don't think there is a perfect age. But if you wait too long, then that biological clock starts ticking...Older women can have a harder time conceiving. Apparently the odds of having a child with Down Syndrome increases, etc. A perk to marrying and having children at a younger age is that you will more than likely be done raising children by the time you're in your 40's rather than when you're in your 60's+. What are the negative factors for marrying at a younger age?

That's always a debatable topic. I feel like it depends on the couple's maturity level. They need to truly understand what it means to be married and know how to live together and be supportive to one another. A lot of people don't learn this until they're older.

I do not believe that their is any perfect age to get married. However what I do believe is that maturity is needed. Women mature in body quicker than men and sometimes even in the mind too. I think that if someone is immature in emotions they are not ready to be married. Also, if you do not make preparation to be married then you should not get married. They are older en and women who act even less mature that the 18-20 year group. So my take on the matter is if you are matured, responsible for your actions, can take corrections, willing to admit your mistakes and can love inspite of the disagreements, have made the necessary preparations (mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually) to live with another person bearing in mind that they too have faults and are not perfect and putting God at the centre, above, below and at the left and right of the relationship, and cn manage your financial status with ease, then you are ready for marriage. I am 47 years old and I have dated older men who behave as if they are 16 years old, irresponsible and self centred and even in my age group I find them too. So here I am want to get married but for the life of me, a responsible, God centred, respectful man is nowhere looking for me! Well I guess in time he will find me as they are things that I too have to shed with God's help to be the woman God has called me to be. So ladies, gentlemen work on you and ask God to open your eyes so that you will make a very good choice because the Bible says that he that findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favour from God,. So seek God;s favour as no age is a bad or right age to get married but it is whether you have the capacity to take the responsibility that it takes to be with another person. You have to drop the selfish act and think about the other party at all times. Can you do that? Can you put someone's needs before yours? Can you be respectful no matter what the circumstances are? Can you manage your money well? So as the Bible says Think on these things! God bless

Love takes time, that's for sure. I've seen young people rush into it and regretted. I have also seen people who took the time and still failed. I guess when it comes down to marriage, it's not about your age but how you make it work. But practically speaking, I think two people have to be matured enough to decide to get married. By matured, I don't just mean age, but emotional and mental maturity. I am pretty sure that at the age of 18 I was still very childish and clueless about life. At the age of 28 or 29, I was pretty sure I was ready but then my 8-year relationship ended really badly. So here I am, at 32, picking up the pieces, found new love, but am I ready to get hitched? not just yet. Because I am still yet to watch this new relationship grow and blossom into a more mature relationship before heading down that way. A friend of mine just got divorced at the age 55. Bottom line is, it's how you make it last.

Very interesting topic to be discussed. Coincidentally, only yesterday at my friends'home we were discussing about the pros and cons of getting married early and late. Getting married is individual's choice and maturity level. But I have witnessed many young marriages being happily married for life. When the bride is 20-22 and the Groom is 24-25, their compatibility level is great, and they get adjusted to each other well very and they become friends and true partners very soon. In that age group their likes and dislikes are very similar. I would say once the Boy and girl complete their education and get into a decent job, parents should think of getting them married. Or if they have already found a life partner its better to get married soon, than waiting to get 'settled'. As someone said the biological clock ticks and both lose their fertility period and have to consult a doc for getting a baby. Today due to bad eating habits, already women and men have fertility problems. One day I had escorted a friend of mine to a fertility clinic and I was aghast to see girls and boys of 20's in the queue. And another problem in India, is, since the weddings are predominantly arranged, older boys do not get decent proposals from girls. As girls cross 30 , they lose interest in marriage, they love their independent life and decide to stay single. Again for the older girl it becomes difficult to get adjusted to her in-laws, since again here families live together. The younger the better!!

If a woman is rich enough, 35 is an ideal age because they can afford freezing their eggs now.
