you did not say wether there is a significant other to marry or you just picked an age. If you turned 27 and were with a person only 6 months I would say no, if you were 27 had been together 3 years yeah sure. |

I got married the first time at 28.... it didn't last. I also had a plan... get married, have a kid or two and go to college. Thing is, it's hard to pay for a babysitter when you're in college, not making any money.
Moral of the story: Don't try to plan your life out too far in advance. What if you don't meet that special someone until you're 35 (like I did - 2nd hubby), and you settle for someone just because you've got this imaginary timetable going? Live for today... the future will take care of itself. |

I've been married 22 years. I got married when I was 19 and he was 20. We still have a loving and passionate marriage. We have 2 kids, 20 & 17. I wanted to have children when we were young so that we could be more on the same level as the kids. It has worked out fantastic.
Good Luck! and make sure it's the right person. People should only need to get married once in a lifetime. |

I got married when I was 20. I had no intention of getting married at that age, but I met my husband and we both knew we were going to be together for the rest of our lives. And no, I wasn't pregnant. We were just really, really in love... we still are. We've been married for almost 6 years now and are still ridiculously happy.
I don't think you should plan your life down to what age you want to be when you get married. You'll know when you meet the person you want to marry and you won't be like "I love you, baby, but we can't get married until I'm 27." You'll want to run off to Vegas and tie the knot that day. If you don't feel that way, then you haven't found the right person yet. |

There is not "good age" but 27 is above my recommended lowest age limit. I recommend people wait until 23 even if they have already met someone and really connect in that last forever way. |

I married the first time at 17 - and the second time at 28. I was two totally different people when I was at each stage of the game.
I always say you are not the person at 25 that you were at 18, and the person you are at 30 is a whole lot different than the person you weree at 25. The key to picking the right time to get married is when you have figured out who you are and have found someone who fits with that person.
My own daughter is almost 21 - and I have strongly encouraged her to become "herself" before entering into a couple. |

I got married at 18, only slept with my husband. I am now 26 and happier than ever. If you meet the right person there is no age requirement, or an age that will make it work. Marriage is not easy. You have to be honest, and both people have to be willing to make it work. Communication, is the key! |

Age has NOTHING to do with the maturity needed to maintain a happy marriage. We got married when I was 21 and he was 22. We are perfectly happy, and wouldn't change a thing. On the other hand I have friends in their 40's who still aren't mature enough to make a marriage work. I have to say that putting an age on your expectations can give you a goal to visualize, but what if you are about to turn 28 and still haven't found the right person? Also, don't overlook the fact that when that person comes along you probably won't care if you are 22 or 32, you will also want to accomplish many goals with them also. My husband and I got married fairly young, so the acomplishments we have made, we share. |

I got married at 27 and I've been happily married now for 11 years and we are still so happy He treats me like the very first day we met...... He still sends me flowers, kisses, hugs, tells me he loves me throughout the day everyday, sends me love notes, and we still do everything together.......
So I personally believe that if you have accomplished all you want and have your education....Then 27 is a good age..... |

Don't pigeonhole yourself that way. You may meet someone sooner, you may meet someone later. For one person, marrying at 27 is perfect...for another, they are way too immature or otherwise just not ready for it. And that all assumes that they've even found a person to marry!!!
I married at 22, he was 21. I just turned 27, and we're just about to celebrate 5 years of marriage. For us, it worked. A friend of mine married at 33 and was divorced by 34...he's now in his mid-40's, and still isn't "ready" to be married.
Age is relative. It's all about maturity and finding the right person. Just enjoy life and deal with marriage when you get there. |

I would vote NO - for the main reason you stated that by 27 you will have finished all you going to accomplish - how about giving yourself a challenge. |

I got married at 23 and my hubby was 26. We have been married for 2 years but have been together for 11 years and have 3 kids. I think 27 is a really good age to settle down. Hope you find the right one to do it with! |

You don't set a certain age to get married. When you meet a person you want to be with for a long time or for the rest of your life, you decide to get married. I would hope that you are not done accomplishing things in life by the time you are 21. What a waste that would be. Do you think that marriage is what you do after you are finished living your life? That makes marriage like a prison sentence. You should never get married if you consider marriage the end of the life that you wish to live. Marriage to the right person is an extension of the life that you envision for yourself. Marriage is a partnership that allows each person to continue to grow and experience. Your spouse complements you.. They don't make you sacrifice everything you are and that you want just to be with them. |

I got married at 18, 23 and 32. I am now 33. The "good" age to get married is the age when you meet a person you want to marry. |

Princess 27 is a very good age to settle down with that special someone. I married first at 18 and it lasted for 2 years. Was far to young and partying way to much for this to ever last. My ex and I did have a wonderful son, now 33, together and we are actually good friends to this day. Second time married at 30 and here again had two great sons. This marriage lasted for 7 years and we grew apart as there were many other factors involved. We were faithful to each other but could not live under the same roof. Swore to never go through it again but here I am now 52 years years young and just 5 months ago walked down the aisle once again. This woman that is now my wife and I both have failed relationships in our pasts but are assured that this time we will indeed be with each other till the bitter end. Good luck on finding your Mr. Right and marrying when the time is right. |

I got married at 27 but my husband and I had been engaged almost 2 years at that point - he proposed 3 months after we started dating and we saved up our money for a dream wedding.
27 is a great age for marriage. My husband was 35 when we got married and that worked out well too.
It's good to be old enough that you've gotten the party phase over with. |

I think that it is a good age to get married. That is, of course, if you have found the special someone by that age. You cant just get married for the sake of getting married. :-D
I have been married almost 8 years. I got married when I was 19. |

What's your maturarity level? College, friends, and other goals before getting hitch? That's a question only you can answer. Sometimes a 21 year old is much mature than a 30 year old. There's no magic number. I believe the divorce rate is 60 percent. This is a different era, you need to really think about it and hopefully you will make the correct decision. Good luck! |

That is truly a loaded question becuase everyone matures at a different rate. Your 21 one now and you don't even know who you are going to be at 27. I got married at 28 and that was the right time for me. But when I was 21 I thought I'd want to get married by 25. When 25 came I thought what was I thinking! Then the right guy happend to be there when I was 28. So really that is impossible to tell and will will change a millions times before it happens |

27 is a reasonable age to get married and that leaves plenty of time for you to accomplish goals that you set for yourself. BUT, don't limit yourself to a strict time table. what if you meet someone next year, date for a couple of years and decide you want to get married? if you are 21 now, you'd only be 23 or 24 (according to my very general math). would you make yourself wait until 27? or would you go ahead and get married? i agree, it doesn't have to be a priority for you now, but, as opposed to educational or career goals, marriage and relationships tend to be things that happen without special planning and when you least expect them. i wasn't looking for a husband when i met mine (at 18). we got through college and married at 22 (in june). no time table, it just happened. point is, accomplish your goals but don't restrict yourself with time limits. |

Let's see...
I just turned 26
My hubby and I got married when I was 22 and he was 24.
We have been together for a total of 7 years.
You shouldn't set an age though, sometimes things happen and plans change. Let it happen when it feels right. |

There's no set age as to when you're suppose to get married. |

I've been married 2 years. I got maried when I was 26. I think 25+ is a good age to get married, especially if you dont have children. You can use that time to bond and travel!! |
