What is the 'right' age to get married?

jswilms

It seems that most people won't raise an eye brow to anywhere between 23 and 36 for the first marriage. 23 for some reason doesn't seem too young and 36 doesn't seem to old but if you go below 23 it seems like a rash decision and if you go above 36 it's like why? You've been single this long...someone else is just going to piss you off...ya know?

I would say somewhere in your mid to late 20s is a good age.

Mr. Malevolence

Any time from 21-35 is about right.

I personally think 26 would be perfect. But 30 is fine.

Just make sure you're out of college first.

There is no RIGHT age, u get merried when you want to do it, when you feel ready, and sure that you want spend your life with certain person.

the million dollar question....
Its different for everybody...

I don't think there is a right age, to me the right age is when you and the person that you love are ready. if you both are stable, responsible, mature, and out of debt, or have a low amount of debt than go for it!

there is not one. getting married is your choice. no one should judge you on your age.

18 is considered very young to get married. I've been told many times by different people that one should never get married before 24, that way they have time to live their life a little before starting a family. Personally, I don't really think it's all a matter of age, it's about maturity and finding the right person. I know a couple who married at age 18 and they are one of the most secure and happiest couples I've ever met. My parents on the other hand where 24 and 29 and would be the last people I'd look at as a good example of a marriage.

the age when you realise its not a joke but a lifetime commitment, everyone matures at different paces, so once your mature enough to accept the responisbilities and compromises a marriage has along with the companionship, then that would be the appropriate age to take the leap!

it think that there is no right age i just think you have to care, love, enjoy being around who ever you would like to marry! i also think you have to be camited!

I don't think there is a "Right" age. I think you will know when you meet the right PERSON. I was 36 when I got married. I had a lot of previous relationships, but none where I KNEW I wanted to spend the rest of my life with that person.

As far as worrying about what is socially acceptable..... Don't. No one else's opinion really matters if you know the person is really right for you.

There is no "right" age, but couples who have their first marriage after age 30 have the lowest divorce rates of any age group.

The right age is when you know you love each other and have the resources to support yourselves and any future children financially. I have friends who got married at 18, right out of high school, and are still happily married 25 years later. And I know people who got married at 33 and 35 who were divorced within 2 years. It's really an individual decision

When you love someone there is no "right age." Just make sure its what you want and dont rush into anything.

It depends when you and your mate are ready. I personally wouldn't get married before I was in my late 20's (28 -29) but that's just me.

Byron F

when you have a stable job and where to live which is probably around 21-25

charger chick

there is no right age. the two involved just have to be fully aware of all the responsibility. and be sure they want to be with each other for the rest of their lives

brin

i don't think there is a right or a wrong age. i'm only 19 and i know a few married people already. i think getting married is all about how ready you are emotionally, spiritually and financially. a lot of people want to get married based on age readiness and it doesn't work out because age doesn't matter as much as the other stuff

I think as long as your entirely happy to commit yourself to somebody there is no right age.

I married at 20 which i thought was young at the time, but have nearly been married for 3 years now, and we are really happy with a young family.

there isn't one,
you have to get married when you feel it's right.

Depends on what area of the world you are from. And your circle of friends.
But for me, after 25. After 30 would be good too.

Socially acceptable is pretty vague. You should wait until mid 20's I think. Get a bit of "adult"base under your feet before you jump into marriage. Get some schooling, get a decent job with a bit of history before weighing yourself down with a marriage. Another "socially acceptable loop hole is that maturity plays a large role in determining whether or not you are ready for the big jump.
