What is the ideal age to get married?

There is no right age. With the exception of being of age.

There is no ideal age for any life experience, for calendar age is not as indicative as developmental age. For example, an 18 year old may be ready for what a 40 year old never will be, and vice versa. I believe that if two people are compatible, in love, trust each other fully, are on complementary developmental tracks (the only way to avoid constant fighting), friends, fully supportive, independent, graduated at least from highschool if not college, goal-oriented, employed, each with their own transportation, and a place to live there is no reason not to be married.

My mister and I got engaged at 18 and 22, and will be married at 20 and nearly 24. By the time of our September wedding, we'll have known each other nearly 7 years, been friends nearly 6, together nearly 4, and engaged nearly 2. It was the right time for us, but one can never make a blanket statement for such a thing as marriage, as there are far too many variables to consider.

Your ideal age range for marriage is completely dependent on where you are at in your life as an individual and for your own goals. For some, pursuing their education is a priority. Scholars who continue school to pursue their Master's, MBA, law school or med school tend to wait until after they are done with school and have started their careers.

If will also depend on if you want kids and if it is important for you to conceive naturally. For example, if you want to adopt kids, then you have a little more flexibility, but our bodies do only have a window of time during which conceiving a child is more viable.

If you are pondering this question for personal uses, here is what I suggest. Make a list of all of things you want to do with your life- Is it to graduate from school ? Start a career ? Climb mt. Everest ? Whatever it is write them down. Then ask yourself," Of these goals on my list, what are the most important ones that I want to do before I am married ?" Then take a highlighter and mark the events that you want to do BEFORE you are married.

Generally, if you find yourself highlighting most of the items, its a safe bet that you probably shouldn't be thinking of marriage for some time- a long time.

It's important that you do this list when you are unattached. When we are in a relationship, we automatically think of our lives centered around this relationship- which during a marriage, is how it should be, but it is when we are single that people tend to be more logical and objective when it comes to making contemplations about life.

IN short- I do agree that getting married young ( 18-22) mostly is a bad choice, but I don't think there is a set ideal age for marriage, but I think it's important that each person is mature and ready for some hard work and devotion. I would suggest that before anyone gets tied down to a relationship that they explore the world. Go to school, travel around, and take time to let yourself GROW.

I believe it depends on the person and their rate (or lack thereof) of maturity. There ability to budget, compromise, and be patient (all of which are essentials in my opinion). Some people are ready for this at 20, other not until much later (or ever). I don't know when your brain "fully develops" but I suspect for some people, this never happens (haha).

That being said, 23/24 is a good age to get married in my opinion (on average), some people are ready before that, but (if your having children) 25 is a good age to have children, being married a year or two before gives you time to yourselves as a couple.

Hi:

The ideal age to get married is 24-27

it's different for everyone. but generally somewhere in the lower 20s. for some its in the late teens, for others its even late 30s or 40s. i personally would probably get married when im at least 21. i want to be out of collage and have a job maybe. but its just when u find the one for you. whenever you find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with would be a good time. don't rush it, but i wouldn't wait too long either.

Actually, there's no ideal age to get married. Unless someone sees herself or himself as, emotionally-prepared, physically-prepared, financially-prepared, etc. But definitely in a legal age.

30

25

25 up to 35

Whenever you've established yourself in a job and you know you and your spouse can support each other. Also you need to be emotionally ready for such a big commitment, knowing that this is the person your giving the rest of your life to. So basically whenever you reach that point in you life you should be ready.
