What age do you feel is the right age to get married?

I think there is a lot you need to get out of your system in your 20ies. People don't grow up all at once. 33 would be the perfect age. You are still young and have a high fertility but you have gotten your tween years out of your system. That's the new young adult category wear you are technicaly an adult but still livng a lot like a teen. That's 18~28. But 33 gives you a few years to date and court some guys you like before the big M.

totally agree w. you. early 30's. no sooner then that, gotta enjoy life and get financially stable before I think about devoting myself to someone for the rest of my life

it really depends on the person you are going to marry as when you are with someone you change and you could become a better more mature person.but I would say late 20's is when most people really mature and become stable in their lives and jobs.

30 for me.

People are always changing. One of my good friends told me once "until you reach the age of maturity at around 28-30 you are always changing as a person".

Think about it.

We're you the same person you were a year ago? Young people are always changing. That's why I think people break up in relationships. The person who was right for you a few months ago might not be right for you now.

Chances are the person you married in you're early 20's might not be right for you in your 30's. Or at least that's the way I see it.

For everyone it's different. Obviously maturity plays a major role, and you've got to have lived a little to have a life to share with someone. Really it all boils down to finding the right person, once you've found them I think any age is acceptable. Plus you have to consider having children, I think for women that's a bigger consideration because as they get into their 30's and 40's it becomes harder, and that's really only if you want to have them.

You know what. Every older guy that I meet tell me to wait until I am like 30.
So that must be some kind of mature age of know where you want to be in your life.
Me I think if I'm with the right person, then our ages will not make a difference. I would advise dating for some time so you'll know who your with in all the different situations that WILL arise.
So I don't think there should be an age on it, but who's to say that ALL the people before us didn't say the same thing we're saying, and are now saying wait till 30?

I think mid 20s also after you finish school if you go or at least establish a career first.

I would say after you finish college / professional school and are at least 3 years into supporting yourself. Prior to that, people lack the skills and experience to really understand the consequences of life changing decisions.

I know of very few people who get married before 22 that stay married (in fact, none come to mind)

mid-late 20's is about the right age for me. I just am hoping to be honest that the day will come :-] .tootles

i always wanted to get married young. so I think mid 20's is a good age

I would say the right age for marriage would be in your mid twenties when everything in your life is well established. Having a career, a home and overall being independent.

I am getting married next year and I will be only 22. I get a lot of crap from people about this, but I know in my heart I am ready. My fiance and I both are mature for our ages, and we believe in the importance of being ready for better or worse. I have been best friends with my fiance since I was 15 and we still are best friends. We have been engaged for 3 years, so we could graduate from college first and grow up more. We have worked through a lot of differences such as religion, and we have had deep discussions about kids, our ideal parenting styles, and how we are going to handle finances.
However, waiting to get married until you are in your 30s is not a bad idea at all either. Everyone has a different idea of what is a good age to marry and I think it depends on the individual. I didn't plan to get married this young, but it is working out that way, and I couldn't be happier!
