Best age for getting Married

There is no "best age" to get married. I hate to sound cliche, but you'll know for yourself when the best time to get married is. Love is irrational, irrefutable, and has a poor sense of timing. I don't like attaching a number to it because there is no universal best time to get married. Generally speaking it works best when there people are established. That is they're living in the area they want to live in, they've got a career, etc.

I was married 15 days after my 20th birthday, so I have no idea what age is best for getting married. lol

But 19 years and 4 kids later I sure am glad I tied the knot.

I think waiting 6 years before having kids was helpful to our success.

Never.

I got married when I was 22 and in my last year of college. I was pregnant at my graduation. Definitely not something I would want my daughters to do.

[reedda]

Never.

LOL! I agree!

25 minimum is what I tell my kids, and only after college.

I got married at 15 and I would not recommend that.

25 is the best age of getting married.

It Can Weight

Marriage isn't something that should be rushed into, or something that should be sought after for financial reasons. It is a huge and (hopefully) permanent choice, so it's better to wait until your late 20s or early 30s to take this leap.

What's the rush?

I come from a long line of people who manage 3 to 5 marriages a lifetime. This worried me when I became an adult so I always said I wasn't going to get married. I had one long lasting relationship prior to the one I am in now and it was enough to show me that the person I'm with now is who I want to be with. We are engaged and have been together 3 1/2 years, but have known each other 10. I think this question depends on the person really. Some are ready right away while others are ready at 50, or never. I do think you should have some time to discover yourself though...the traveling can be done with a partner as well as the financial struggle, but not knowing yourself is a problem.

I married my wife after we both graduated college, I was 21 and she was 20. Different time and circumstances. I was facing the Vietnam draft. I think the ideal time for a male is 30-35 and for a woman late 27-32. It is about the time where both partners have matured and had some experince and their careers somewhat set.

Not to mention experience with each other. You can be in love with someone, but still not know them... how will they react under pressure, how will they react if things don't go there way... life is roses for most people until they leave high school or college, so experiencing the ups and downs of life and knowing your partner will ride through the downs is tough to measure in a 3 year courtship. I think the emphasis should be on how well you know them, not what the age is.

I got married when I was 28. That time, I wasn't financially ready. So I think, age doesn't matter as long as you are 18+ and you have a stable job to support your family.

We're 34/45 right not. We married last week. Been together for close to 11 years.

I think it depends a lot on both of you having your ducks in a row. If one or both of you are unemployed, and don't quite have direction yet, then it's hard to justify throwing marriage into the mix (it's a lot of work!). But if you are both 22, fully employed, ready to stay put somewhere and attain your goals.... then by all means go for it.

I am married with a 33 and I think it is better to marry earlier, unless you have a valid reason.
First physical strength declines after 30
2nd have less energy for kids
3rd to the child's coming of age will be a real old man
