It is hard to say if you are already suitable to get married because there are factors to consider. Some ideal age is 25 when they are professionally stable and could already support their families , some married beyond that age if they feel that they are not yet ready for a more complicated life. But there is also other people in a young age like 22 who are ready for such responsibilities. I think it is a matter of readiness to bring up a family. when you are ready , go if you are not - then prepare more.

I was 23 when I got married and my husband was 25. Now, we've been married 7.5 years. We had finished college and had been friends for 2 years prior to our romantic relationship. We felt it was the right choice for us. Maturity is something you need to look at, readiness, love, stability, jobs, education??? There are a lot of factors that need to weigh into your choosing. And, praying about it is recommended as well.

Well it looks like you are already prepared when you got married, but for those who are still young and just want that when their children grew up they are still young and NOT PREPAREd, It will not be as easy as it looks like , because if you are not prepared and already have kids, you have to worry about many things like food, clothing, shelter, education, medicine, things that you have to consider. I believe that when you planned to raise a family, you also planned to give them good life, the best of the best.

I think it's not more of a biological clock but rather a maturing of oneself to decide weather we are qualified enough to get married. I have a 30 year old friend whose married but he's unemployed, he argues with his wife over petty things that I sometimes end up as the moderator since they're both my friends. If you want my opinion regarding the age factor. Yes, I think 23 is still very young. I'm 27 and I'm still trying to get ready for the marriage part. I want you to go out, have a career, visit the world, accomplish worthy goals, save enough money for the future and all that stuff. That way when you get married at least you won't have regrets about the past and the things that you didn't do or could have done. Goodluck in life!
