I am a firm believer that age should not be a factor. Some other things should also be considered. Are you both emotionally and financially ready? Are you both spiritually ready for the commitment? I only say this because I was married when I was 19 and it ended in divorce. I was not ready. I tried again at 21, He was not ready and it ended badly. I tried again at 30, but he had too many addictions. It ended because I lwft. I can teel you now, I'm 36 and am married to my 26 year old husband and it is a beautiful relationship. We were both ready. Just remember communication is absolutely key.

I think there is really no particular age to enter a married life. If you are ready in every aspects of you life then you can be married. Another thing is that the guy you want to marry should also be ready for all the upcoming responsibilities of getting married and staying married. When I was younger my ideal age of getting married was 30. A time when I already have a stable job, own house, own car, have traveled a lot and have done a lot of things in life. Now that I am 28, only have 2 more years left, I feel that even though I feel like I still have a lot more things to do I am ready to be married. my fiance is a year younger than me and he asked me to marry him when he was still courting me. That was almost 2 years ago.

I agree with you, maturity and financial stability is huge. However, I think 25 is a good base age. Everyone changes so much from their younger years, and this gives both people time to "live" and explore. However I know many ppl who got married right out of high school and are very happy. Depends on the couple I guess!

For me, there is no right age or whatever. as long as you are ready and mature both mentally and spiritually. I think what some people said here is true. You can never really tell based on age if you can do better because ur married at 25 or fail because u married too young at 20. When ur mature enough to deal with the resposibilities and situations then you yourself will know as well if ur ready to face a new stage in life.

I feel that the ideal age for a couple to get married is when they are able to financely take care of themselves, and each other. That they are mature enough to understand what being married really means.

I think getting married is not a matter of age but on how ready you are for the responsibility that lie ahead. If you think you can handle the responsibility of being a husband/wife, mother/father then you can get ahead with the marriage thing irregardless of your age.

It depends on the emotional and material stabilities of the suitor.

I got married at 19, we just celebrated our 5th anniversary. Our marriage has had some rocky spots like everyone's, it's hard living with someone that does things so different than you! But overall it's been wonderful, and the last 3 yrs hasn't been rocky at all. I think you will know when you are ready, just don't do it because you think you have to.

It doesn't really matter how old you are when you get married, as long as you are mature enough emotionally and spiritually. You also need to be ready financially since getting married doesn't just end when you finish with the wedding. You still have to raise a family, so you'd better be ready for the responsibility
