obviously each situation is different but i feel that a person should really only get married around or after the age of 25 because they have had an opportunity to experience single life as an adult, and this will also give both adults in the relationship an opportunity to raise the proper income to raise a child.
Personally I will probably try to be married around the age of 27 or 28 so that i can enjoy a quality relationship with my wife for a couple of years before we settle down and have children around the age of 30.
That would leave me at the age of 50...still working. While my son or daughter is 20 and hopefully preparing himself/herself to move out into the world...or better yet they'll be in their 3rd year of college if all goes well.
I know I'm being a bit of an optomist, but so far...so good.
Well everyone I know have been getting married around the age of 17-19 because they've all been getting they're girlfriends pregnent.LOL.They don't use protection that much these day, it makes me laugh.But I think it's better getting married when your younger because if you realize you shouldn't be with this person. You wouldn't end up spending your whole life with them.
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
Well sometimes it can be a bit hit and miss I think a little older is definatley wiser when it comes to a life long commitment.
I'm on my second marriage the first lasted 2years.
We had been together quite a few years before but after getting married we realised that we were both too young, we weren't in love we were just very close friends so we divorced - thankfully it was so mutual we are still very close friends.
My second marriage well thats coming up for 2 years so fingers crossed!
I think that a person shouldn't marry very young, so that he/she can enjoy life being single first Many that have tried marrying young (most are not even mature enough) have regreted it afterwords... which of course leads to divorces and other unpleasant stuff

Some ppl tend to think that 25-28 is the best age to get married. Well, maybe but it depends on the person and the on the way the relationship is working. I really have never been interested in weddings or marriage.
i dnt think age matters tht much as long as yur not too young, after all some people get married at 40ish - its never too late, but the two people should trust each other and not feel forced into anything

Well, it's never too late. But it can be too early. I believe it is best if each person has spent part of their life living on their own, so they can learn to take care of themselves. Self sufficiency is very important .
Getting married and moving from "mommy and daddy's" house and into a husband or wife's house is just wrong. I see that as very immature, and that IS too young to get married if they are doing that.
People are too easily divorcing these days. When and if someone decides to get married, they have to go into it willing to work out all the problems. "For better or for worse, till death do us part." If you don't like the sound of that, get out before you get married.
Before people get married, they should both have trust and respect for one another, they should be able to see eye to eye on important issues, or agree to disagree. If not, it won't work. Both should be willing to compromise to a certain extent, being able to meet in the middle is important.
Age is not important. It is the maturity level that needs to be looked at.
Becoming pregnant by accident is not mature, but getting married because of it is the right thing and the responsible thing to do (as long as they can support the child, that is). They will be forced to grow up fast, and maybe it will work out...
Taking all those things into consideration, I believe that marrying before the age of 23 is pushing it. It is better to be patient and wait until you know what you are getting into.
