The Perfect Age to Get Married

We all used to think that the longer you wait to get married, the better your chances are of staying together. But new research suggests that getting married later in life actually INCREASES your chances of divorce. I obviously have some thoughts on this, so here are my opinions. Let me know YOUR opinions below in the comments!

I'm 26 now and sometimes when you're surrounded by your friends and family who are already married and have kids and who in relationships it sucks because it makes me want to rush and do the same, but I trust God that's it's not my time yet.. Maybe one day, I just need to save for a home deposit first lol..

The perfect age to marry is when you’re both mentally and financially ready

I hope I can get married when I’m 24 or 25. I know it sounds young but I don’t want to be old and get married/have kids. Then I’d want to have kids when I’m around 26/27. That way my kids don’t always have old parents like I do. My father will be 59 in October and my mom will be 57 in October. I’m only 15 lol.

Idk my grandparents got married at 17 and my parents at 17/18 and they are all still together lol

You got married at 32, but what age were you when you first met and when did you start dating?

It's not a question of age. More like being emotionally experienced. Aziz Ansari touched on your theories in his book Modern Romance. You should check it out.

I got married at 19 but we are both Christian, and Brazilian. I feel like religion and cultures are big factors. We both were working, studying, he had his own place already, we were financially stable before we got married, etc.. now a days people are less religious so marriage is viewed a little differently. Every couple is different and everyone has different priorities which change with every generation. I don't feel like someone who decided to pursue college or someone who pursued to start a family should be looked down on, it's just a difference in priorities everyone has to do what's right for them.

Okay I'm 22 from the Middle East, so most of people get engaged earlier after high school and get married in 20-25 age . After this age you considered as Maiden mostly for women. To me their is no best age to get married but finding the best person .

I got married when I was 20 after I graduated from college and my first born son is now 6 years old rounding 7 and I kicked his father out of my life after being with him for 3 yrs got pregnant for my second baby was about 3 months. I let him go to live his own life because he doesn't want to care for my son while I got to work. I gave my two kids to my parents to look after, and half of my salary goes to my kids account. And I was still looking young and stylish ....yeah and of course I stayed single for another 1 and1/2 years and got married again to another young guy and this time I got plan not to loose him because I am already 27 and he is 28 and I bear him with two daughters almost 11 months of age in difference. Yet my man still feels young for me because I produced the kids below thirthy's. So between 20s and 30s is the right time to get married esp. for ladies . When your man plays on you you can also play on him.

My uncle got married at 22, and he's 48 now. He got divorced for a very personal reason... his wife said if he didn't sign a paper to allow her to take their children, she'd take every single bit of money he owned. So, he did it. It was very... rough for him.

Hey Angie..am 23 and my guy is 30..he wanted us to get married next year, I refused, I told him, I ain't ready for marriage and won't be, until 10 years from now..I sincerely don't know if this guy will be able to wait for me or we should just say that this relationship won't work out

[ajtronic]

Early 30's is a good age. You know what you want by that age. The 20's -25 is just impulsive partying. 
Personally I'm delaying marriage until after college graduation and several years after to develop professionally.

[AhmedAhmed-ioye]

I got married when I was 21 and I divorced

[mysticallyweird]

I think a good age for me is 21 after I finish college and then I can have kids at 24 /25 after I get out of med school and is into residency :)

I am 39 and still not married. I never thought of a specific age in which I would be married but I assumed I would be married by now. I am still figuring out who I am and what I want out of life so that may have something to do with it. I live in a big city like Miami but that hasn't helped me. I also make little money and don't go out much. I don't want to grow old alone but the older I get the more accepting I become of singlehood.

I live in saint Louis Missouri and I'm 22. I know a lot of people who are my age and engaged, having babies or are married. It just feels so young I don't feel like I'm ready yet
