    I think it mostly depends on the affections you two share and money situation you are in.

      I think mental maturity has a lot to do with it. If partying, hanging out with the wrong crowd, skipping around to jobs, or spontaneously traveling to discover yourself is still in your blood, this might be a tough time to tie the knot, unless both agree it is their thing.

      Age is a factor as well. If you are in sync with your mate at a young age and work together, you can enjoy having kids younger, which means you can keep up better and be part of your grandchildren's lives while you are still in your prime. Getting too old and having kids can be more difficult, and you might end up not having too many years with them as they become adults.

      I sometimes wish I had met my wife about 4 years earlier, because that's more time together. But I am happy with where we are now, so no complaints!

          I think the age 30-37 is the better time to get married for men and the age 23-28 is better for women to get married.

            I was 32. Great age. Finances under control. A bit wiser and ready for kids.

              26 - 30. Let's you finish grad school, experience life a bit as a single, and gather the experience to make a great choice. Wait longer and you may limit the time available to have kids. The latest research shows that older parents pass along more gene mutations than younger parents.

                I guess the age will vary depend on the people. There is no appropriate age for marriage. Some may consider 25-30 as the best range because they fully enjoy their life, some will say it is best to settle down at young age so you will see how your siblings grow up. It doesn't matter how old are you what matter is you know your responsibilities of being a parent.

                  25 years old is really a good age to get married.In that age you already got a lot of finances support and stable work.

                    It is interesting and good topic. There is no rule of thumb for it. But I think 25 to 30 is best age for men to get married.

                      I married at 29 and I was so glad that I had really done everything I wanted to do (completed my graduate degrees, travelled around the world, etc...) before settling down.

                      Once we bought a house and started having kids, much of what I had accomplished pre-marriage would have been far more difficult.

                        And I will add that the best age to get married is when you meet the right person!

                          There is no such age perfect to get married except till the age of becoming a major, but still I believe for me it is between 25-30 most probably 28 to be precise thats my thinking I am 21 and will settle my life within this 7 years or so and then plan to marry.

                            I got married when I was 19 years old. We've been together for 5 years and the first few were VERY difficult. It took some time for us to open up to each other and learn to love. Granted, I knew we were compatible from high school, but I wouldn't recommend anyone get married until 23+. You come to some amazing, earth-shaking realizations once you get to your mid 20s.

                            The only reason we went through the legal process of getting married was because I was headed out of state and the timing seemed opportunistic.

                              I think it depends in your work and study. When you feel ready, you should get married. Anw, dont wait for a long time. For me, I think 25 is good for female and 28 is good for male.

                                When you are well settle with your business and self employed. If you are able to nurture a one. The mainly when you understand life's main goal and to be faithful towards your duty and family. To obey the discipline of society and should have a responsibility for yourself and other.
