Below 21 regardless of anything imo. After that, if love finds you then it finds you but I think actively looking for marriage/"the one" under age 25 is too soon. Really, I think 30. You should be well out of school and established yourself as a fully functioning adult before trying to combine your life with another or being in a situation where it's expected that you create and raise a child.

I think you should first ask yourself this "do i have enough money to support us and do i love her."
If their yes then take the chance

I got married at 25. My husband is 11 years older than me. We have been married for 8 1/2 years, but we lived together and dated for 2 years prior to marrying, and I knew him and worked with him for a couple years before we dated...

I don't think age has anything to do with the "when" to get married. I think it has more to do with your compatibility with the person you are with.
I wouldn't have married my husband if I hadn't been sure that I really wanted to be with him - the fact is, I think I was imagining our retirement and what/where/how we would spend our old age before we even got married.
If you can't see yourself at 70 hanging out with your lover, then you probably shouldn't marry them.

Me, I think we will have an RV and be one of those traveling couples who are the camp hosts at the camp grounds; we will be the ones to come and tell the kids partying in the woods to quiet down after 10pm and come clean up the camp sites after they leave. And the bathrooms - but that would be why we can stay in the campground for free...
He will still be taking his scenery pictures and actually have his website up and running to sell them. And I will at least have two cats that live in the RV with us.
My new goal is for us to document all the covered bridges left in the US - we started this for our New Year's resolution (hehe):



Of course this picture is crappy - my husband is much more talented. That and his camera is much more impressive than my little 3.2 mexapixel cell phone camera...

Its different for everybody because people learn who their are and grow up at different times in their lives. Some people just refuse grow up at all, and marriage should never come into consideration. There certainly is an age at which marriage is far too early to bring into consideration, and that age is any age before they actually know who they are.

For me, I was 21 when I got married and I already knew who I was since I was 18.
I met my wife when I was 18. My wife was 26 at the time, and she married me at the age of 29. Think about that. What the hell does a women at the prime of her mid 20s have to do with an 18 year old? We've been married for 7 years now and we have a beautiful 1 year old daughter.

Who cares about marriage, it's about the relationship.

I've been with my bf for 8 years, I'm 20 now (yes we've been together since we were 12) and we plan to get married after we graduate from college, which is in 2 years Lol.
So I'd say 22-25 is a good age, since I wouldn't want to have kids when I'm in my 30's.

Jason and I just had our 2nd anniversary. I was 18 and my husband was 31. I think for the "right time" of marriage is when you know and feel confident that the other is the person you want to live with for the rest of your life.

Other than that, I suggest praying about if the other person is someone you should get serious with or just keep fishing around.

I'm waiting until I'm a older. I don't want to rush into marriage now. I love my boyfriend, but we just aren't ready for that kind of commitment. I've had this discussion with him, and we both completely understand. We still love each other, but, based on what I know and experienced, young marriages are very much more likely too get divorces.

I honestly think the best age for getting married would be 24+, but that's just my opinion.

Studies have shown that ppl who live together before marriage (if they ever get around to it) have a higher chance of divorcing.

Isn't that funny? Whenever a couple lives together, sharing property, responsibilities, and even children, but are not married, then there is a good reason why they aren't married. A friend of mine is a divorce lawyer (I know, I know) and she told me once that people get married for trivial reasons, but they never get divorced for trivial reasons. She is so smart.
Arranged marriages also have a higher success rate than marriages "for love". I think it's because the couple in the arranged marriage don't expect their spouses to make them happy, so they aren't as disappointed when their spouses aren't perfect.


I think marriages work out because the ppl in them are more realistic in what marriage is, more respectful of it and their spouse, the act of marriage & their vows they took actually had meaning to them, they discussed their expectations BEFORE they married, they are willing to compromise & to forgive (at least the small stuff).
