What is Right Age for Marriage

[Blackthornone]

It depends upon what will be going on in said marriage. It also depends upon the quality of the match and how responsible you are and reliable as a partner and mate.I had my eye on marriage since before I was 2. I would have if I had the chance with the right one, but it never happened. There is no set age for marriage for everyone. Everyone has varying levels of maturity. You must know yourself and have developed extremely good judgment and know your partner extremely well before considering marriage.
You must be certain that you can fulfill the marriage vows before considering marriage. Those are not just words. If you aren't absolutely certain you can live up to the marriage vows with the person you are considering without regret, don't get married. If so, and you feel it, do it. Also, so long as divorce exists, always have a pre-nup. Marriage was invented before divorce, when people were actually expected to take marriage seriously enough to mean it. Some say that a pre nup is not romantic. Guess what? neither is divorce. The marriage vows say until death do us part. That is an oath. Divorce has no part in that. It makes people into liars. Pre nups just protect the parties involved, preventing the marriage from turning into a business venture for huge profits, which amounts to prostitution, basically.

Very well said, Blackthornone.

That being said, 25 minimum.

I was 29. 31 when I became a dad. Looking back now, I was barely ready for either then.

I was 23, almost 24. We had dated for nearly 5-years prior. Waited until one of us (her) had finished school (I was half-way through law school) and could finance this fiasco. Had our first kid when I was 26.

Wasn't too early. Going on 10-years happily married. Never been better. If you're mature, take the commitment seriously, and plan for the marriage -- not just the wedding -- you'll be fine. Once you find the right girl, don't let her go.

And, try not to take advice from people that don't know what they're talking about. I'm consistently surprised at people who take relationship advice from the single, marital advice from the divorced, financial advice from the broke, etc. Always consider the source.

A wedding is a lot of fun. I got married in 2009 at 26 yrs old. We got married on our 10 year anniversary of being together. Nothing changed in our relationship afterwards. We were already living together, had a joint bank account and shared everything.

My advice is to start saving and preparing at least 1 to 1.5 years prior to the date. Also, hire a professional to film the wedding. I payed $900 for a professional to film my wedding. He covered my preperation and my wife's all the way to the end of the party. He edited the footage, added music, effects like occasionally going black and white or turning it vintage and even made Blu-ray disc covers for me.

A great photographer is worth the investment as well. There is a big difference between a pro who can catch the impossible shots and use photoshop to make them unbelievable compared to the dude your cousin knows.

I had my wife's bouquet professionally preserved along with my cufflinks, copies of the invitations and more all within a UV protective dome that hangs on the wall.

Invest in the memories.

And most of all, have fun. My wife had secretly hired belly dancers for our wedding. It was great as it really started the party.

^^^This! It's surprising how obvious this is but how often we ignore that logic. I have fallen prey when asking advice from the wrong people. It's not to say the aforementioned you listed don't know, but you would think advice from the other half that have success in those areas would be better for giving advice and guidance in such areas.

You're looking at it that the woman will automatically cheat. If you go into marriage thinking that, then she probably will simply because there was never any trust there from the beginning.

I honestly don't see myself ever marrying. And if I don't, well, that's okay too.

If you can't make her happy, someone else will.

Honestly I don't believe there is really a definite answer. It all comes down to if you as a couple are ready. I myself will be getting enganged in the next 5 months. Thats if she says yes I always told my self I will never be married until I am ready financially and as a couple. I finally landed a decent job where I can afford a ring and every thing else that comes along with being married. She will be out of nursing school in 5 months so I think we are ready. Shes 21 I'm 22 some may think that's to young, but who is really to say when someone is ready. I know people that are 30+ that shouldn't even be thinking about marriage when they can't even take care of them selves.

 

[Dark Passenger]

Honestly, I think your 20s and 30s are too young. Marriage is a huge commitment. I'm in my 30s and I still have no idea wtf is going on in my 'relationship'.

Precise answer

 

[The Ween]

Is there really a need to get married anymore? I know people who lived together for years and when they got married their relationship went to hell.
