No it's never to late to get married. Actually 28 is probably a good age cause you're more mature.

i thought so, too. i was able to have my parents house renovated and was able to buy them a car and sent 2 brothers to school before i settled down. so, i guess, it just depends on your goals right?

She lost someone when she was young and decided she wouldn't get married after that then by chance she met someone and they shocked us all by getting married...nice really.

I was married at 21 but didn't start having kids till I was 29. I think there are advantages and disadvantages to this. I seem to have more patience with the kids now, but mu husband and I couldn't have done as many things together if we had kids at a younger age.

I don't think so.I got married at 33 and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if I had gotten married any younger that the marriage wouldn't have lasted. I wasn't the same person back then that I am now. I was so selfish. I have an 8 month old and I also know that if I had any children earlier that I wouldn't have been able to be a proper parent to him. I don't regret a thing.

that's a good age to get married, too. just make sure both of you have stable jobs already. judging from our economy (you're also from the Philippines, right?), we really need to be financially prepared before we make any major changes in our life.

Better late than never. Seriously, though, life is too short for wishing things were different. When you got married was the perfect time for you. No one can go back and change history. There are advantages and disadvantages for everything. Count your blessings, think about this, you won't have to be called nana or grandma until your supposed to be old enough to be a grandmother. lol Good luck.

No, I think it is a good age because you are probably more established in your career, have a home, know about what you want in life. I think sometimes when you marry young you may not be totally settled and it makes it harder on a marriage and children too.

It's never too late to get married, in my opinion. 28 is still a good age. I think up to 35ish is an appropriate age.
