There is no perfect age, everybody matures differently due experiences in there life. I know some people that got married at a young age and are still together after 30 years. I also know some that got married young and got divorced. There is no one perfect age, it has to do with experince in life and personal maturaty. Some people mature young and some people never mature enough though life to handle marriage.

It is more about your maturity than your age.
by Spicy Hot on January 5th, 2009
There isnt a perfect age, it depends on the relationship.
I advise my children to wait until they are at least 25.
by AntigoneRising on May 28th, 2008
Boys and girls really shouldn't be getting married. Men and women should. The age difference doesn't really matter, it is compatibility in emotions, needs, goals, etc that matter the most.

30
by SG QOTABD RIP SHELLA DARLING on April 24th, 2007
between 25 and 30, but people get married for the first time later in life too, so its a toss up .
by PrettyPirate on April 24th, 2007
The ideal age for me is 30. I hope to be emotionally, mentally and financially stable and comfortable by that age and fully ready for a commitment as huge as marriage.

Alot of it has to do with maturity and where you are in life. People have a tendancy to marry too young with visions of sugar plums of how wonderful it will be - then get a reality check when the honeymoon is over. It is a lot of work, but a good marriage is worth it. I believe a good marriage is a partnership. Where both parties work together as a team and bring out the best qualities in each other and themselves.
by stoneddora on June 6th, 2009
i would say it doesnt rele depend on age, i say maturity and readiness
by shrinkess on January 5th, 2009
Whenever you are mature enough to be responsible, responsive, respectful and resourceful.

The "Perfect" age is Zero, meaning stay single! Don't do it! lol

hmmm...42?..lol..any offers :O)
by Secretive on January 5th, 2009
30 something
by Blackberry. on January 1st, 2009
As long as the people involved are both financially stable I could care less, that's just my opinion. Most teens and young adults aren't though so it seems the overall consensus is around 30.

by douglas0903 on January 1st, 2009
It's not an age thing so much as maturity and financial stability. I'd say once you have steady income, a college degree, and some wisdom.
by Dharma on August 18th, 2008
For me, the earliest ages are 25 for a girl and 28 for a guy.
by Sosueme on August 18th, 2008
70...at that age you'll be too old and tired to think about divorce:)
by Shelby on August 18th, 2008
Personally...for me?
25.
by hartdaniel on August 3rd, 2008
24 is good. Older is ok too.
by Anonymous on July 21st, 2008
It has nothing to do with age but with your level of maturity.
by Tex on July 21st, 2008
Sometimes some people will NEVER understand what they're doing. Marriage is a serious thing. It's a lifetime commitment to your partner, and all he/she brings along with them. The longer you can wait, the better. I put off marrying my wife till almost a year and a half after we had originally planned on getting married because I wanted to make sure she was the right one for me, and not just some good looking idea.
by Sixty B - Commander Topcoat on June 10th, 2008
I don't have a set age. I'll know when I'm ready is all I can really say.
by Drastic on June 10th, 2008
Ahhh crap, I don't know...I might be ready now. Who knows...actually I don't think I am. But maybe soon.
by APACHEmeansENEMY on July 26th, 2007
For me it was after 35. i think when you are in your 20's you are still learning who you are and what you want out of life...so making a lifelong commitment might be biting off more than you can chew. Of course there is always the possibility of growing together...so it really depends on the people involved!
by Jannes on May 8th, 2007
I would say between 25 and 30 but depending more on the maturity of the each person.
by Nitroduck on April 24th, 2007
Most folks aren't settled enough until they are 30. I recommend only marrying when you are at an age where you can be friends with someone of the opposite sex without objectifying them.
When you are in your twenties, you are all hormones, and still learning the hardest of life's lessons. While sharing these lessons can create a strong bond between a couple, I would just as soon start a marriage with stability.
by calypso on April 24th, 2007
It differs for everybody, I don't think there is an "ideal" age. I think everyone is different and is ready for such a commitment at different stages in their life. For some it could be at 18 and for others it could be at 40. It just depends on when you meet the right person.
by peterpam on April 24th, 2007
The age of true love!
by singwell-is off researching a lot on April 24th, 2007
There is no ideal age. It depends on the maturity of the individuals.
by Patti jo on April 24th, 2007
I'd say between 20 - 25
by LOLCAT on April 22nd, 2007
That would depend on the person/society/a million other factors. But, for me, a college-going male, I would say after I am 26 years old would be a great time to start seriously look!
by Valparaiso on March 8th, 2007
I would prefer to have gotten married a year ago at 23 but I had no one to marry.
In terms of a dream wedding, I don't care as much as long as my family and friends can make it then I don't care much about where its at.
by RebeccaJean on November 2nd, 2011
I got married a couple of months before my 34th birthday.
by AMK1234 on August 8th, 2011
I got married at 20 the marriage lasted almost 4 years before we got divorced
Their was a lot of cheating on both sides
So I think I was way to young or maybe we just weren't right for each other
As far as anyone else that's a judgment that each person has to make themselves
by Anna44 on January 16th, 2011
Legally, Americans may marry at 18. If you are asking my opinion on when it is wise to get married, I would say not until 28 (30 is even better).

by jls on June 6th, 2009
Basically did you have a chance to fulfull your personal dreams first? With marriage you have to take the dreams and aspirations of others in consideration. Did you have that chance to go to school? Did he ever become that race car driver? Would it work for 2 people to achieve their dreams at the same time? Things to consider.
by Wide Awake @ has closing date woo hoo on June 6th, 2009
When one has passed legal age for the state/country one lives in, and is fully ready to accept all the work and responsibility.
by guitar_player2009 on February 9th, 2009
These days the right age is about 50 to 55. Because 40 is the new 30 and truth be told, people are STILL players even their 40's which feels like the 30's and people in their 30's you know are not truly ready for marriage...they do it for all the wrong reasons.
by rockfan on January 30th, 2009
There is no set age but it comes down to commitment and maturity. You should marry after you have sowed your wild oats and when you are ready to financially take care of your family, love one another, and be dedicated to each other. You should be responsible and have your own place to live, a financial plan, and try to hang in there for the long haul if at all possible.
by Suby the Coat on January 5th, 2009
The perfect age will vary from person to person.
First emotional maturity comes at different ages for different people.
Then financial independence to take care of family requirements too are attained at different ages.
Besides these two criteria there are a plethora of requirements to fulfill before considering marriage.
So no specific age can be recommended.
by royal77 says hello friend on January 5th, 2009
I think 30 is a good age to marry.
by mayar on January 5th, 2009

by royal77 says hello friend on January 1st, 2009
I think 30 is a good age to get married.
by ryguy on December 22nd, 2008
23-27
by shammers still slogging along on December 22nd, 2008
I don't think there's a particular age that can ensure a successful marriage, but often, the more mature one is the better the chance for success. Maturity comes at different ages for different people.
