The "right" age to marry all depends on the individuals. Their maturity, reason, etc. I know of some very young couples who love one another and are rooted in God's Word. Then there are others who get married due to physical attraction. Whatever the age, they should be mature enough to understand that marriage is a ministry and work.

At the age whenever the person's ready.

If we choose God's choice of married, For a woman you are ready the day you bleed, Men the day you can make babies,

I do not think maturity comes to you when you in your late 20s or 30s, Mental maturity can start even as a kid, I am speaking from personal experience. I was ready to married since when I was 14, I was mature for my age, I hanged with women in their 20s, I was physically amd mentally ready for married, And just because I did not yet finish school meant that I was going to financially rely on my man,

Maturity can start at any age, environment I think can also affect your maturity,

[size=28pt]The best time to marry has nothing to do with age, but when you are ready.
If you ready at 22, go ahead and marry.
If you are ready at 40, go ahead and marry.
But if you are going to marry and later harass the rest of the society with your ill-bred children, PLEASE SPARE US THE HORRORS AND TERRORS OF YOUR BAD MARRIAGE.

I know the social and family problems the church and charity centres have to address everyday.
The problems of bad marriages are the worst cases.

The majority of the unhappy couples bearing miserable children who become anti-social delinquents of the lunatic fringe populating mostly underdeveloped countries like Nigeria are those who were not ready for marriage.

Marriage is best when you are ready to start your family.
It is evil and wicked to bring innocent children into an insecure environment like Nigeria where the house has fallen. I feel sorry for all those who are marrying and bearing children in Nigeria today. The future of majority of them is very bleak.[/size].

i dunno why everyone is in a rush to marry, Gods time is the best time.
if God doesn't give me any man i now i will feel secure for me and my children,then i guess i wasn't destined to marry.
Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by prettygurlmoe(f): 11:58am On Aug 26, 2012
I feel like the right age is wen u are old enough to understand wut love is so that u will know that u love really truely love the person u are claiming u want to marry...I'm a 27 yr old female with a 4yr old daughter and I'm engaged to be married...its nt to my daughter father bt at one point we thought we was ready for that step too bt we was soo young and it didn't work out...bt now that I'm older and I know the real meaning of being in love I know this is the guy I want to marry
Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by Nobody: 3:34pm On Aug 26, 2012
Kk... To everything there's a time. As a guy, for me (can't speak for anyone else) I'll like to marry as soon as I start making a living for myself and can afford an apartment. Waiting till u become rich is jst a waste of tym. U'll jst end up wasting funds on yeye babes up and down. So for me say in the next 3-5 yrs. I'm 24 rite nw. For a lady I bliv it shud be latest 30. By the time u're over 30. Suitors reduce. Guys that are 30s or late 20s wud be going for younger girls in mid twenties or at worst their age mates. If you're a 30 year old u'll be on the look out for guys say only 30 and mid 30s. And I cn assure you that they are not in abundance. But if you're in ur mid 20s or nearing late 20s u have a much larger pool of suitors. Say u're 25. Ur pools is 25 to 35.

Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by Nobody: 5:17pm On Aug 26, 2012
For me though its advisable to marry at an early age,which I would not mind as well,
But I rather marry when I meet the right person.
The right person to me is someone,that no matter the situation,I would love till the end. Someone who I know we would be able to join our hands together to give our kids the best,even beyond wat we enjoyed ourselves when we wrre kids and someone who would love me back as well.

gabriel7: i would like to have some suggestions about my case, i'm 22 and i already have my bachelors degree, and good position where i work thank God, i'm a very independent person, but for sure i have mistakes like everyone does, my girlfriend is 22 also, and she is just about to finish her college, and we are going to get marry soon, can i have your opinion, what do you think about this decicion!!! it will help me a lot.
If u love her, sure u wanna spend rest of ur life wit her and she makes u happy, go 4 it. My hubby n i got married wen i was 23 and he 24. Although iv always wanted to get married at 26 (my ideal age) Some ppl tell us we were both too young and rushed (mostly single ladies in their very late 20s ,30s) but i tell u wot, we are both the happest couple on this plannet, hes my partner, brother and bestfriend

There is no hard and fast rule as to when one should marry.I think it's down to maturity on all fronts:emotional,spiritual,physiological,to some extent,financial.
Throughout history,people have crawled,stumbled and staggered into the noblest of institutions at varied ages.Joseph became the Prime Minister of Egypt and married the same day at age 30; Isaac at age 40; SEAL got married to a single mum,Klum,I think,at age 46.So much for the age to get married-there is no such thing as ideal age,as we cannot possibly put taxation on it.

Seun, I dont like discussing sensitive issues like this one, but I can't help correcting this statement:
"if you're a lady, and you're close to or 30, please start panicking! Maybe you've been too picky?!"

I disagree with you brother, if you rush into marriage when you are not ready, you will rush out! I will be 30 by June 12, and for you information am not panicking, I'd better marry at 40 and live a happy life, than marry at 20 and stay unhappy for the rest of my life.
...sorry are you married now?

Seun:
What is the right age for marriage?

Is there a particular age at which you'd expect a lady or a man to be married? At what age should you start thinking about marriage? And at what age should you start panicking if you've not yet found the right man? If you say age doesn't matter, what are the things that matter and can they be measured?

Personally, I think the most important things to achieve before marriage are economic independence and a clear sense of where you're going in life. If you have that by 20, fire away. And if you're a lady, and you're close to or 30, please start panicking! Maybe you've been too picky?!

You are more than 20 Fire away na undecided linda ikeji is waiting there for you old man grin
