for guys it should b after they r stable ideally in mid twenties.for girls whenever they find the right match ideally right after finishing their studies.
as for having kids i think if u marry at the right age u should enjoy ur time as a couple for atleast 2-3 yrs before having kids.rest lies with fate.
IN my view, usually guys are not stable in mid 20's, if you take avg graduation age as 22, that means at 25 the person has been working just 3 years an just moving beyond entry level jobs.
add to it if there are college loans to pay off,a nd its not a very stable time.
but I guess they are settled enough and financially independent enough to start on a married life, but expectations have to be clear on what the person can and can not do.
planned to get marry at 28 and was settled with job, house etc, missed that target because of relocation to UK then set target age to 31 and got married at 31, had a son at 33 and planing to go for another one before i go over 35 inshallah!
i think 26-29 is ideal for guys and 23-26 for girls!
hmmm interesting… my plan!! (everyone will laugh at this probably!!)
