i was just thinking what age would be the best for a person to settle down. well, in my opinion that will be at the time where you are already financially and emotionally stable..and ofcourse if you already met the right man for you. problem is how will you know if that is the right man..
how bout you what do you think?

I agree with you Marlaf.
Marriage is not about age its about maturity, passion and stability( of both the partners).
Marrying the right person in the right conditions is necessary for a ruitfull relationship.
I hope I will soon get mature enough to marry. Lolzzz.. I am just waiting for the right one.
Wish me luck Marlaf!
Cheers {:-))

I hope to be married before I'm 27. I'm 24 now. I think that I'm ready

the right age to settle down is when you know that you are stable at almost everyhting, emotionally, emntally, physically, financially, and every thing that has to be a factor on it. it's not really on the age but is on the preparedness of the couple if they really can do it already independently and if have enough experience to be in a lifetime commitment already.

Many says 25yo for women and 27 obove for men. But right you have to be financially stable and know all your responsibility when it comes on settling down. We all have choices, either you want to settle on an earlier age or might wait for the right person who you think that already secure. Its a matter of setting all priorities in life.

At 30, I want to make a career and money first, and i am working on it now, but i dont think that these are the only things one should concentrate in life- settling down is natural at certain age, you just feel that your life is not so complete without it.

I think it should be around my 30's. If i dont get married by that time then it's better for me to be single. You may not understand why.
First of all, i prefer to get start with my partner when we have nothing... i don't want a man who has everything already. I'll be proud if WE buy a house together, choose our furnitures together and go shopping together. Only hope my partner hasn't got the occupation in the same field as i do work otherwise our kids won't see our faces for sure.
Anyway, the second reason i prefer to settle down in my 30's is because i'm no longer a teenager anymore. It's time to raise my children and take care of them. Also i have to look after my parents. I have such a strange ideas compare to many people i have known. I like a big family. My parents are still healthy but my father is sufferring from diabetes type II, hypertension, polycythemia and coronary heart disease. I don't sure if my mother can cope with him by herself. Me, as a doctor, should take care of my parents more than other people. By the time, i'm in my 30's, they'll be older than 60 years old already. And i think they won't be as strong as they are in these days. I don't want my parents die without saying goodbye or waste my time making money without taking care of my parents by myself and my family.
Oh,i forgot to mention the third reason, if i settle down after my 30's, the risk that my children will have such a Down's syndrome will increase. I want to have a healthy baby.
Hope my English is fine enough to explain what i think to you.

As my opinion after getting good job, good salary, happy family and life insure, if we done those things in our life then we settled.

I don't think age is a question here. You can be 50, but if you're still not responsible, then it is still not time for you to settle down.
It doesn't matter how old you are. What's important is that when you plan to settle down you should be mature enough, responsible enough and your already financially, emotionally & mentally stable

Planning to settle down and enjoy family life is quite hard to gauge. You see life is full of surprises. Its not a matter of being financially or emotionally stable but it comes on how mature are you and your partner to face family life. It doesn't matter wether you started married life without a penny in your pocket but as long that your partner is matured enough to do his duties and obligation for you that would be enough. How will you know if Mr. Right already comes? See to it that he's always there when your down. People that truly loves you doesn't come when your succeeding, they come when you fail.
