The question you asked is that i just want to ask. i think the age when to get marry is not only just standing by ourselves, but also the other half is an important matter.

hello!
I don't think one can really say what an appropriate age for marriage would be. I believe it depends on the couple and their individual situation and love for each other. I do believe people should be at least 18 years old though. But after that, I think it is entirely up to the couple. Some people are very mature at 20, while others need more time to grow up before getting married.
There are a lot of things to consider before getting married. I think it is very important that man and woman are sure they really love each other and have already established good communication. That is the key! It is important for them to really know each other - likes, dislikes, morals, values, ...
I got married when I was 24. I think that was a great age for me. Notice I say for me. I was ready and I truly loved my husband. I had no doubts. At 24, I feel I had some time before marriage for myself. I was able to finish my bachelors degree, travel, and live on my own a little. This time to myself helped me grow and learn more about what I wanted and didn't want.
I highly recommend that someone has some time to themself before marriage for this reason.
so, no, I don't think you can really say you have to be ___ age before you can get married. It just depends on the person/couple.

There's no such this as a "best age", what matters is your maturity and preparedness to enter into a lifetime contract. Of course, you have to be of legal age.

I think 23 year old for man and 20 for woman is good for married.

It doesn't matter for me as long as I find the right girl
who loves me the way I love her that's the time.
