Best Age to Getting Married

What is the best age to get marry.. what should we consider I think 25 or above is best age what are your thoughts
There isn't one. It all depends on when you meet the person you want to marry, when you can afford to get married and when you feel ready. There is no best age to get married.
My parents were 23 when they got married, still together nearly 50 years later. I was 24 when I got married. It all depends on the people getting married.
i think it takes untill at least your 30's to have experienced enough of the world and other people to know exactly what you want but then thats just me,
I don't think there is no best age as it all depends on the person and the circumstances .
I'm 36 and still won't get married and that's all because I don't believe I need a piece of paper to show that we are together but I do know down the line we will have to for government and that's it
In my opinion later the better and same as having a child. I had my daughter when I had my own house and a settled job at the age of 40 and done most of my crazy stuff when I was younger
I got married at 25 but my husband was 34, it all depends on the individuals involved. I know people who married in their late teens who are still together 30 years later
I’ll ask my nephew, he’s already been married three times. Let’s hope third and final time.
Don't think there is a best age its when the time is right for you I've been with my partner 23 years not married but we work well like this he's asked me so many times but I turn him down so for me I'm happy and still in love and that's how it will stay I think but you never know
My partner and I have been together nearly 16 years, I don't want to get married, personally I don't see the point, why spend all that money on one day when it doesn't really change anything, I'm happy as I am. Plus i absolutely HATE being 'center of attention' and all eyes on me...even birthday parties I've always turned down due to it. I'd HATE everyone looking at me and having to speak in front of people (family & friends too). My partner on the other hand would like to get married but I always say no. I think both our families would like to see us married but it's just not for me.
PinkElephant26 I'm like you and if we did get married I know mine would just been me other half and 2 witnesses probably skinny jeans and jacket lol
- You do not have to spend 'all that money' on a wedding, register office fee would be affordable.
- You do not need to be centre of attention and speak in front of people, just the registrar and two strangers dragged off the street.
Not sure if you are M/F but assuming you are straight male have you considered how it makes your partner feel to refuse to marry. As a woman I would feel humiliated knowing the one I loved and wanted to marry did not love me enough to do the deed.
Of course none of the above means I dispel your wishes or negative thoughts of marriage but many people say it's just a bit of paper. To that I say, if it's just a bit of paper and means so little why not do it to show your love for the partner who wants it. I personally feel that true love gives rather than takes and I would feel my love was not wholeheartedly reciprocated. Also please consider what happens if one of you dies unwed. The remaining partner of an unmarried mother is not automatically entitled to the children (although it is unusual not to do so). Also house/property, assets etc need to be protected in a water tight will.
Please remember what I said above, my comments are not directed personally to you as I do not know your situation, but rather my own personal views on love and marriage, despite never finding my soul mate or experiencing a true and abiding love. I am one of life's unfortunates who wanted it but am now too old.............fate is cruel lol.
Yes about lare 20s is a good age to get married but sadly the numbers of people who are getting married as gone down each year
I don't think it's something for people to be put under pressure with, if anything save the money for a house or something.
I'm not a huge fan of marriage, I believe if you want to be together then you will be. My parents got married when I was 14, they had been together for 19 years at that point. 3 years later they separated and divorced, so I don't think it helped my views on it. I also wouldn't like all the attention and fuss so if I ever did get married it would be very small and simple ceremony.
I think 20's for children so marriage the same. I never wanted to be an old dad and even though financially it would been better later we had healthy kids and enjoyed them while we were young. And now I'm in my early 50's with terrific grandchildren and young enough to play football and runabout with them.
