there is no right time when you think it is right to get married then you can get married dont ask people on yahoo answers its your own decision

Over the age of 26 It may sound kind of out there but you change so much between the ages of 21 and 25. thats why most early marriages dont last.

When you find true love which can be any age, however one person should have a job unless they plan on living with their parents.

I'd say after 25-28. After you have finished college, established a stable job, and are not bringing any debt into the relationship.

when you r ready to be independent; when you're mature enough to without help from parents or friends for financial support; when you just know its right.

Whenever you're in love, mentally stable and financially secure. Usually mid 20's to mid 30's.


cs
when you feel like your ready to commit to one person for the rest of your life. also when you can differentiate love and infatuation.

Hmm......I think like mid-20s. Like 25, you're probably about ready.

25 is about right. And I would get married in the Spring or early Summer.
Help me please!

Jeff was here
30's. Cause i want to stay unmarried in my 20's so i can enjoy them while im still young and attractive. And right after you hit your prime you then get married because all the fun is over.

For gals, any age above 18 but the ideal would be 21. For guys at least 25 preferably older because gals mature faster so same age is usually incompatible and have a hard time getting along.

Well, my opinion is: if you've dated them for at least 3 years, and lived with them for AT LEAST 6 months.... then that is okay.

If you don't live with them first... then you may hate the way they live.


Chrys
when you KNOW what you want and can work to get it...marriage isn't for everyone and there is NO right age for everyone.


Bonita
THERE REALLY ISNT THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED OR EXACT I SHOULD SAY BUT IN MY OPINION I THINK U SHOULD GET MARRIED WHEN UR ALREADY STABLE WITH UR SELF WHEN U HAVE A GOOD CAREER WHEN UR DONE PARTING BECAUSE IT WILL BE TIME TO HAVE A FAMILY...

by medical angle ,the best age is 23 to 27 . by religion it is when you are of legal age ( around 18 in most countries) , by psychology it is when you get someone which is so lovely that your heart says 'i can't live without that person'.

i think in ur mid-20s, only becuase by that time a lot of ppl have a stable job and stuff and they're a lot more mature..buttttt it really depends when/if u ever find the right person but i think after a few years of being with someone, u shoudl be able to say whether or not u could spend the rest of ur life with them

There's no right age, really. For some people, it's right at 19, for others it's right at 45, and for other's it's never right.

But I would say traditionally, most people consider the mid-twenties the ideal time to get married!

Around 18. Then you are an adult. You can make your own decisions. I knew I was going to marry my hubby at age 13. We were together from 13 until we got married at age 21. Most people should get married in mid 20's because then they know more of what they want and need in a relationship. If I didn't let family influence my relationship, I would have gotten married the day I turned 18. But some people need more growing up to do!


El Guapo
25 or older, for both men and women.

No matter how mature someone is at age 18, EVERYONE has an emotional growth spurt between 18 & 25. Ask any 25 year-old - they will tell you that they are a COMPLETELY different person than they were 7 years ago. By age 25, most of us have worked past most of our petty issues like jealousy, control, clinginess, etc. that tend to poison marriages.

That's not to say you can't have a successful marriage if you marry young, but the odds are WAY better if you wait.


Sasuke
late twenties to early 40s just because i think you should date for like at least 3 yrs or so before you get married cause especially if your American we really just **** around if you haven't noticed and over 50% of Americans get divorces and if you date long enough approx three years i think you know if your compatible if your still together and if you don't have money to raise kids maybe? you want to wait til your an adult and have the money i guess...


CaliGirl4
i think there is no correct "age." I think you should marry when you are comfortable in your own skin. When you have succeeded in becoming your very own person. Why? Because marriage is difficult, to be a strong partnership you have to be a strong individually. No one wants a weak partner, take the time to find yourself, achieve your individual goals and be a well-rounded person who anyone would be lucky to marry. :)

I think that it is completely different for each individual and their relationship. Personally, in my relationship, the ideal time for us to get married would be in the years after I get my University degree and teaching qualifications finished. At this point I will be able to permanently be able to settle down with him, where ever we choose and not have to worry about being a student and a wife. Currently I go to school about 3 hours away from our home in my hometown, and live with him whenever I come home for the summers and breaks. We will be getting married when I am 23-25 and he is 28-30, because this is what works best and is ideal for us.

well right age is about 28-34 that way you have lived your young life and this way you have time to get married enjoy life with your partner and then have kids but 28-34 even 35 or 36 are ok but 34 is good 35 and 36 are a little too late if you want kids and any other time is a little late to have kids so if you want kids and still want a little time with just you and your partner. but really and good time to get married is when you for sure know the person and love them and make sure that, that person loves you and knows you too and moving in together is the best thing to do before you get married that way its like being married and if you dont like it then you should be getting married. well thats my opion. hope i could help. xoxoxo

Wow...I can't believe how many people say you need to date for 3 years. That's crazy! Does anyone notice that the ammount of time we "need" to get to know someone gets longer and longer! How much time do you "need" to be engaged for?? lol.

Anyways, there is no "right age" to get married. Once you and your partner meet, fall in love, and share...you know it's the right time or if you have concerns and need to wait.

You can get through college and learn to get through hard time together. You don't "have" to be done to make yourself sucessful or make your life work. Just because you get married doesn't mean your life/ your fun is over.

I was married at 18 and going on 3 years (next year)!

Good luck!

I think it is different for everyone. Everyone matures differently and is looking for something different in life.

I am 23 and getting married in August. I have been with my fiance for over 5 years and we are graduating from college in a week.

My sister is 24, she got married last year after being with her husband for just under a year.

Everyone has a different lifestyle and different goals in life.

Perfect age when you're in love, in a good healthy relationship, when you are ready for it, when both of YOU are ready for it, when it feels just RIGHT, when you both are independent, have solid careers (gone through your schooling, minimum 2-4 yrs of college, if not more), when you are financially secure (i cannot stress this enough), when communication is excellent between you two, when you can finish eachothers sentences and know how each trully is, when you have really learned and experienced life together for, I don't know, at least 3 years dating!

Perfect age would be 26-28 :) since all of the above takes TIME and does not happen in One Night, One Week, One Month, or One Year.

GOOD LUCK!!!
My dream is to be married around 26 yay for LOVE

there is no certain age to get married. You should know the person very well have had a long relationship with them get to know all the things about them that you like and don't like and figure out if you can live the rest of your life with the things you don't like about a person. You can't change who someone else is you can't fix someone else so don't marry someone that you think if damaged but with a little work they will be that dream person. I would say that for the age question there is no right answer. You should have had a few life experience first. Time to grow as a person to really find out who you are and what it is you want in that other person, are your goals the same, where do the two of you see yourselves in 5 years or ten years from now. Marriage isn't just about what makes us feel good right now but 5 - ten years from now. As we grow older we change what is going on in your life right now might seem fun but will it be the same for both of you as you grow old just things to think about.


John S.
You have your entire life to get married but you have only certain periods of your life to do things that will become harder AFTER you are married.

Get your education first. Then learn how to stand on your own two feet so you can provide for yourself. Live in this mode and have many experiences, dating more than just one person (but not necessarily different people at the same time). The goal is to know what it is like to date different people and to be in different kinds of relationships. After you are married, you are supposed to have only one romantic relationship -- i.e. to the one you married. If you have not experienced what other relationships are like before you get married, you may become very very curious and feel you missed something such that you could become tempted to stray and be unfaithful. That will lead to much heartache, pain and ultimately failure. So "play the field" for a time in your life so know what that is and can appreciate the difference should you decide to get married and stay committed for the rest of your life to one person.

If you don't go to college, I would at least wait until your early 20s to consider marriage so you can have time to be on your own and date a few people. If you do go to college, then you might put off getting married until your late 20s or early 30s.

But you can also choose to never get married and there are plenty of good reasons to make that choice as well considering all the pitfalls of marriage and the high chances of divorce, pain, and restructuring of your life after you figured out you married the wrong person and should have waited for the right one.

In short, I don't think there is a "right age" to get married, but the "wrong age" is when you have not lived fully enough of all that life has to offer including the rough spots which give perspective and teach appreciation for what marriage can help you with.

Know that when you get married, there is a good chance you will have children. And so first be able to take care of yourself before you take on a spouse because you will be called upon to take care of your spouse too in certain ways although hopefully, they will help take care of you too. But when you have children, it's a totally new thing because they are helpless and will need you 100%. So be sure you are strong enough, big enough, capable enough, and resourceful enough to take on more than just your spouse if children are anywhere in your plans for the future. Do it the right way so you can have children IN YOUR STRIDE and give to them the best you can, because you planned your life CORRECTLY and didn't rush into a hasty decision because you felt you might never fall in love again.

Trust me. People can and DO fall in love more than once in their life.
