What is the appropriate age to get married, in your opinion?

[YA100]

25

[Libby879]

25 or later.

There are exceptions, but 25 is a good benchmark for most people.

[4REEE342]

At least 25.

Finish your education. Join the workforce. Get a steady job. Build up a reasonable savings account. Travel the world. Do cool things.

Do these things as individuals.

It's not really about age, it's about where you two are at in your lives. I'm talking finances, career, AND maturity.

I'm about it graduate with my BS in engineering and I can tell you that it has been a very hard road. Of course, some schools are more difficult than others, but I don't suggest getting married before he's finished with school. Everyone says marriage takes work so you don't get divorced, and college takes a hell of a lot of work too, especially with such a demanding course of study.

Honestly, I am a pretty driven person and I don't think I would've finished my degree had my fiance and I not waited until after graduation! I know how hard it is to wait, by the time we get married next summer we'll have been together for almost 8 yrs!

Also, engineering is one of those careers which requires a lot of experience. He should intern at a real company sometime during his schooling, that might require him to move away for a semester. And even after graduation, it's important to get your career started and not be tied down to one area (ie married with a house...).

You both *should* graduate and start your careers before getting married. On the other hand, there's certain things in life that if you're always waiting for the "right" time, it will never happen. How many people do you honestly think wait until it's the perfect time to start having kids? Of course, I'm not saying be irresponsible and get married when neither of you have an income or career path. But sometimes, you just have to jump and know that everything works out in the end.

Good luck!

I am 22 and i got married last year we were together for 6 years when we got married. I think you should live together for at least a year before you get married being with someone and living with someone is totally different. If you can live with them, are totally comfortable with them with everything in both of your lives then i would say your ready. Dont worry about what other people think there is always going to be someone with something bad to say as long as you guys are happy thats all that matters.
