What age did you get married if you’re already married or what age do you think is the perfect age if you’re single?
Re: Best age to get married?
the best age to get married for men is when they start developing interest in the opposite sex and for girls whenever they can learn how to make a 'perfect ROUNT roTii' without the help from the Rotomatic! :D
Re: Best age to get married?
None.
You get married when you meet the right person and when you're ready.
There is no ideal age...I think the concept of the ideal age puts unnecessary pressure on women to feel pretty bad about themselves if they don't marry by 22.
Its not true.
Find your way, live your life, have tons of fun...jab shaadi honi hogi, ho jayegi.

by age 22? at that age you only can get a bachelor's degree and that's not enough in today's time to get even a half decent job...i would say the norm these days is 26-30...that gives enough time for men and women to get to where they would like to be at in life. :)

Not if you want to have children.
Re: Best age to get married?
I got married at 23, my husband was 26. It was the right time for me and the right decision. Looking back, sometimes I think I could have waited another few years but I don’t have any complaints…hindsight is always 20/20 
Re: Best age to get married?
When you are mature enough to understand the commitment and responsibility that marriage entails.
That said, I got married (6 months ago), just having turned 24, my husband is 31, so I guess it varies.

easy to say when you're married
Re: Best age to get married?
What age did you get married if you're already married or what age do you think is the perfect age if you're single?
When you feel you're ready.
I wasn't ready until 26 and I'm 27 now (unmarried).
Re: Best age to get married?
Got married at 23. And I don't think this whole 'Get married when you're ready' is real. How do you know when you're ready? What makes you believe you aren't ready now? Cause you will never be ready for marriage. When you get married its such a shock to the system even for those people who thought they were "ready". Same with being a parent. Thinking you can handle it is completely different to when you're actually in that situation. I think personally its easier if you get married young. Around 22-25 years. Cause the longer you leave it the more you get set in your own ways. Then when you have to compromise (and marriage is all about compromising ) its harder to do.

Depends on your priorities...I think women should put their desires before what society expects of them.

I just got re-married in February...after a divorce and waiting over 4 years before I made that move...and am in my thirties...I don't just say it...I mean it. :)

bro this old cliche has been beaten to death
Re: Best age to get married?
A good proportion of my bsc male class fellows are married or engaged now. It's kind of unexpected but I guess mothers of boys have more to worry about... Or something.
Re: Best age to get married?
i will get married in few months iA at the age of 25 and my fiance is 27
if i consider kids, i would say we are late because i think a couple should enjoy a couple of years together before having a family. i will now not have the luxury of waiting few years before planning a family. i always liked the fact that my mum was able to have her own time when she was in her 40s since all the kids were grown up and did not need 100% attention. she has been able to start working on her business full time and enjoy socializing. i will be probably over 45 when my first kid turns 18.(if everything goes well iA)
another reason why i think it is better for girls to marry by the age of 21 to 23 is because the mindset is ready for some flexibility. as we grow, we become independent day by day and dont see the need or necessity of a partner..which can mean less willing to compromise.

I say again: Not if **you **want to have children.

Nicely put. Not a popular idea around here though. I would like to add the same goes with boys, although boys mature late and their personality sets later than girls. For boys I would say 28-32.

Jab naseeb mein hogi.
You can sit down and day dream all about getting married at a certain age but if it's not written to happen then it won't. So why the headache?
So chillax. :)

Personally I think people should marry because they want to, not because they need to.. As for being flexible I think a the realistic word is 'submissive'.. Under 23ish won't most girls be dependent on family? Funny how that's considered the 'best' age to marry..
Mothers don't need to wait for kids to become grown up to go back to work either.. Will kids not be going to school for several hours a day? I don't see any difficulty in working at least part-time.. Many mothers (inc my own) managed it just fine..

my mum did indeed do part time jobs but no a regular basis, she was on and off working as we were 4 kids back to back. but i believe in mid life crisis for a women and i do feel at the age of 40 a women should be responsibility free and enjoy her life freely without always being held back by the kids. in all friends gathering my mum has, only she and another aunty are not always in a rush to go home because the kid need to sleep or the kid has school or the kids simply gets bored and start annoying the mother. her friends who married after their late 20s do suffer from all these scenarios.
as far as the 'submissive' is concerned, not everyone see it as a negative trait. if you keep your self respect wherever needed, what is the exact harm of being sometime submissive/compromising for a loved one. we all do it for parents and kids so why not for a partner?
when i say independent, i do not refer to the financial independence only but rather the thinking and ideas that do no cater for compromises and we all know marriage is full of compromises.
