Do you think 34 years of age for a male is too old to get married/start a family?
Find answers to your legal question.





Do you think 34 years of age for a male is too old to get married/start a family?

I'd like to hear from women and men. I think I won't settle down till I'm about mid 30's and have a child etc. What are your thoughts?

I'd like to feel financially secure and able to support my family including parents that's why I set the bar so late. I also have doubts because it's an older age and my parents would be in their mid 60's by then. You think they'd still be able to enjoy their grandchildren?

Thanks!
Additional Details
Great answers, I've always been a relationship person but now I kind of want to focus on school and myself before considering settling down. Don't get the question wrong, I want a family one day, just at the right time. And for some of you that are for the "right person comes along." She'll understand if she's the right one right? And I put into consideration of my parents because I don't want to wait too long and I want my parents to be able to see my kids before God forsaken it's too late, wouldn't you?

Thanks for all the great answers, the most popular voted answer will get my vote.

it is not too late but you must consider that you will be picking from divorcees and women with kids.

my husband was 36 when we married


milley.
i say thats perfectly fine. its never too late to find love and have a family with someone.


shiftcomma3
yes!
That's a great age, and a wise choice.
So many people start their family when they are not financially able.

I think it's fine. My husband was 32 when we married.

Nowadays, people don't grow up 'til their 30's. Settling down at 30 something is the norm!

PERFECT!!

If you want to be successful and rich dont have a kid or get married until after youve finished school and have a degree. If u have a stable job and degree, go for it your ready.

Hell no!

My brother and his wife got married in their mid thirties, and had their first kid when they were 38 years old...They now have a 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter, and they are as close to a "model family" as it gets...

(I'm 44, and I still plan to get married and have kids...but if not...oh well...)

It's not too old. Once you hit your 40s however, that's a different story. It's perfectly fine and 60 is not as old as it sounds. They will still be able to enjoy their grand-children just fine.

ps...if you are not sure about having your own kid at this point in your life, why not consider adopting? there are many sweet homeless children out there wishing they could have a family of their own. just some food for thought.

i did it at 35 3 kids later im now 47 and still married


Sultan Stanley
hell no. u r still very young and besides life begins at 40. if u get married next year and by the end of the year u have a baby the when u turn 54 ur baby will be 20 of 19 right? so go ahead and do it.

no it's not as long as you feel you can support your family, love, care and protect them then i am sure you will do just fine.


Elise
Heck no....go for it. Its actually better to start a family at 30-35 because you can be more stable money wise so you should be able to support a family

Its usually the woman's age that's the concern. Yes, its always a good idea to have your feet firmly on the ground financially before taking on such responsibilities. Remember, its something you cant take back. Sometimes animals are a better option..I wouldn't want to subject a child to this world anyway. You might want to think about that.


VICTORIA
NOPE.....LET IT FLOW....WHEN YOU FIND THE TRULY SOMEONE YOU WANT TO MARRY WITH JUST GO FOR IT....KIDS WILL FOLLOW AFTER ALL...GOOD LUCK !!!!


dragonfireresurrected
no not too old
you can even push the envelope to 45
but you are smarter than most in thinking of securing you financial future
first before even considering marriage
to many marry way too young
and then pretty much ruin any chance of financial success
they would ever hope to have
as they typically live paycheck to paycheck
and in debt
always behind the proverbial 8 ball
and eventually divorce

and you definitely wouldn't want that would you?


shortey130
I think is the perfect age, you want to be able to be a good provider for your family. your being very smart about it ...you want to make sure if theres an emergency in your new family you want to make sure you come through...Go for it ....You rather be more mature and know you want a family rather than to young and imature and not be able to support yourself or your family...Good luck :)


Will you answer my ???
I think everyone has their own opinions! It really doesn't matter what others think, its about what you think and that your significant other accepts or agrees with you. I am 25 years old and will be getting married next year. However, I have told my partner that I want to enjoy each other before we get married, be financially secure before we have kids, and wait at least 2 years to have children. Those are my plans and he agrees with me. So it is up to you. However....I do have to say that a woman getting pregnant at the age of 35 or higher can be really risk for her as well as the baby. So just think about that (or just get married at 30 and start having children) and I'm pretty sure your parents will be able to enjoy their grandchildren at any age and any time! :D

Well, first off... you should know that you will NEVER be financially ready for a baby! If everyone waited, no one would have kids!

My husband and I finally had our first baby (he's almost 2) when I was 31 and he was 38. We may eventully have another one, but I'm not sure. My mom is in her mid 50s and is loving being a grandma-finally!

34 is not too young to start a family.


Crystal
Hell no.. Thats good that you want to be able to support your family. That tells alot about you. You could if you wanted to though start in your early 30'z Or you can even ask you parents how they feel.

I have thought about this myself. If I find someone and start a family, I want to make sure I can provide for them. There's really no such thing as security, though, as anything can happen these days. I would like to have fun before I get married. I think it'll be in my mid to late 20s before I settle down.


*i go by mommy*
I don't think anyone is ever too old to get married, maybe start a family on the other hand just due to birth defects when women get older the risk is higher

yeah of course whenever you feel ready to do these things because these are important life changing things you wanna be ready.

Not at all. You'll still just be in your fifties when your kids are grown.
