What Age Would You Consider The Most Appropriate For A Man And A Woman To:

Hey guys, its being a while I posted a topic here on nairaland. Hope you've all being good? Please, I want your wise replies and reasons for whatever answers you come up with.

My question is: what is the age range for a man or a woman get married? I know a lot of things come into play like being ready mentally, emotionally ,financially because a lot of men would want to be "settled" as they like to say. I don't have a problem with this at all just that their idea on being "settled" means being excessively rich(nothing wrong with it either just that I feel it's too extreme).

Now, assuming all things being equal (at least good enough), what age would you consider the right age to get married? I know people would say that there is no such thing as the right age and I agree completely that's why I prefer to use "age-range". Lets just use a rough scale.

29 for a man,because,most men are more matured at this age,and are able to take responsibility.
25 for a woman,because,most women are matured enough at this age,and are able to keep a home.

Re: At What Age Should A Man/Woman Get Married? by 190: 9:51pm On Jun 11, 2011
Goood -- My advice to any dude above 27 and dont married


You have passed your peak -- You are sexually frustrated and passed your prime

Just do ashawo till you OLD meet your God -- No need

Its a well known fact, that once you are above 27 and you try having a family, you tend to flop and your family is mostly disorganised (Oxford dictionary,2011)

dont be deceived

a woman can marry at any time and men's official age is 27

read articles or Journals OK

What age did abraham marry -- he married at age 25 and his wife sarah married her husband at age 90

Re: At What Age Should A Man/Woman Get Married? by Syenite(m): 10:56pm On Jun 11, 2011
Well it depends on several factors such as Level of Education, Ethnic group, The company one keeps etc

-For level of education: People who are illeterate are more likely to marry earlier especailly women eg age 17-20. Our slow educational system slows educated people down.

-Ehnic group: Some ethnic groups encouarge their youths to get married early whether they are buoyant or not.Eg[b] Hausa [/b] men marry with little or nothing in their pockets.During my NYSC I had a couple of Hausa guys that were married. The Yorubas also encourage their young men to marry early whether they have a good paying job or not.It is the family of the bride that encure the wedding expenses. Most Yoruba men get married before age 30 and most Yoruba women get married before age 28. For the[b] Igbos [/b] the average age to get married for men is 35yrs! Most of them get married from 33 and above.I am Igbo but got married at 30 and my people grossly believed I got married too early! Men, I had a high paying job and a stable relationship-a beautiful Angel from a good family background who had also graduated, so what next?
Igbo ladies get married late because the Igbo men who will marry them delay in marrying.

-The company one keeps: Men that hang out alot with friends end up marrying late:-not willing to let go of the brother-hood.

All in all I think the[b] best [/b] age range for men to get married is 28 - 32

And for ladies  it is 23 -28

I want to believe this should be when he his READY which is relative. READY here means not only the wherewithal to get married but psychologically ready too.

22-25 for a lady @ u should be done with college and masters etc. And I guess at this age a woman would be able to handle things that re involved in a marriage.

It should not be by age, but it should depend on your maturity and finanacial status.
