I feel like sometimes I missed the point where I should have been married. I feel like I should have been married by now and on my first or second child at 32.
+1 yThe best time to get married is when you find someone who you like and love and you both have enough in common to plan for a future together. And you have enough differences that there's spice in your relationship.
There's no absolute age on these factors. For some it happens early, others middle age, others the second or third time around. The only time factor that's important might be if you want to have children. Then you don't want to wait too long past 40 to 45. But other than the having babies factor, there's no particular time
you should or should not.
It's best to have some kinds of salable skills that financially support you. Then you don't NEED to get hooked up with anyone. You're independent. With that in mind, you can take your time to learn about the other party. Discover who they are, what they want and how they operate.
It's more about how and what you can tolerate, your patience and your time.42 Reply- +1 y

Forty for men, thirty to thirty-five for women.

I think not younger than 23 years old.
Then, if you don't want kids age doesn't matter.
If you do, then for women it's up to 30 and for men up to 35.
But in reality the best women are taken by 26 and best men by 30 (not necessarily married yet but on their way) so don't neglect it if you want to get married.

+1 yHonestly you can get married at any age. There are older couples that do it at 50 . But I will say that the ideal time is when you're young and financially independent. Young because if you plan on having kids and growing together as a couple, it's the best time. And financially independent for obvious reasons.
But I believe relationships don't need money to work out. They only need the desire to make it work and love and support for each other, which is so incredibly rare to find nowadays.30 Reply

u +1 yThere is not a single "best age" for marriage that appplies to everyone.
I am getting married next month. I think the best age for me is 69. What other choices do I have?
When to get married depends on the educational plans of you and your partner; possible age difference; whether you want children, how many, etc.; your financial circumstances; religious and cultural considerations. You can't just take someone else's answer and apply it to you.

+1 yI think it's relative to a person. I think I married just at around the right age of 29.
However, it wasn't so much my age. It's because I had finally saved up enough to purchase a modest home without a mortgage.
That's actually what prompted me to propose to my wife. I wanted her to move in with me to this house I wanted to buy for us.

If I could have saved up that money sooner, then I think I could have married sooner. If it took me a few more years, then a few more years. Mostly I think reaching the state where I could afford the house was precisely the right time for me.

Yeah definitely having the money to buy a home is ideal for getting married. I'm hoping that will be the case for us someday soon.

I think if you two are very mature and get along very well, there's probably no need to wait that long.
I became a bit risk-averse as I actually got engaged to be married once long before I my wife while I was in my early-mid 20s. I was living in a one-bedroom studio apartment in Tokyo with little in the way of savings yet I wanted to marry anyway. I put a lot of stock into the idea that love would conquer all obstacles and we'll just figure things out as we went along.
Didn't work out in that case. She broke off the engagement one week before our wedding. In retrospect, we really weren't right for each other.
Yet after that experience, I really became very risk-averse about marriage, even fearing it to some level since with that ex, most of our biggest stress and conflicts didn't seem to arrive until we got engaged to be married, as though the associated idea of it was making my ex more upset, not less. In my case, I was happy-go-lucky and getting less upset like, "Whatever, our love will see us through anything!"
So I didn't want to get married after that until I really, really felt ready and had a "sign" of sorts that it was the right moment. The house ended up being the sign for me combined with how well I was getting along with my wife the whole time. - +1 y
You're right. We probably won't need to wait that long but it would be nice to have a fully bought home when we get married. But we certainly don't have to have one. And I'm sorry that the first didn't work out but glad it did end up working out for you and your current wife.

Thanks very much! 🤝 No regrets as I see it, since I'm very happy with where I am now.
It varies from culture and other countries for example
Her in my country (Portugal)= between age 35 to 40.
Arbic country's= they start from age 18 to 30
France= they don't like to mariage or having kids
Spanish= 25 -30
British (uk) 40
North Africa country's= 22 to until they die lol
Russian = man's they don't like to mariage but woman at age 25
Chinese & Japanese ( i never see wedding or samone mariage)
And other countries i don't have any ideas
And for me between 28 to 35 because if i have children i will have energy to them10 ReplyI feel the same way as you I think it's best to be married by 21-25 honestly but it's not too late and you still can. It's not a door that closes you are just doing it later. Plus the average marriage age has rose in the years

Mid 20 to late 20’s possibly early 30’s. My wife and I didn’t get married to each other till I was 30 and she was 29. We had our now 11 year old son and she hit early menopause 😞. So we couldn’t have a daughter to complete the set so to speak. But we’re very proud of our son. ❤️👍🙂

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yI agree with @screenwriter except for one thing. You're really going to have an uphill battle if you wait past 40. Take you time, but realize the longer you wait the more glowing your personality better be if you want to be successful after 40.
