Re: Best age to get married?

Several people brought up getting married at a “young age.” Could you guys clarify what you mean by “young age?” In my experience, “young age” is relative. There is quite a difference between under 21 young or 24-ish young.

Personally though (and people may disagree), I think 24-25 is plenty of time to have begun doing something with your life, whether it be completing a Bachelor’s degree or doing some other course and beginning to work, if one is so inclined. As far as getting married before 21, unless the gentleman is a Saudi prince with millions, I’m rather curious as to how the couple plans to support themselves if get married at that age.

Generally, I think anything below 23-24 is young. At least in the U.S., if a person starts college at 18 & finishes in 4 years, they get bachelors at 22. Getting married at 23-24 (at the earliest) gives them at least a year or two of work experience, chance to save a little money etc. (assuming they’re not pursuing further education).
