When one attaind pubarty and there is mutual undastanding between you and your spouse you can get married. But if either of you is ingroz into material stuffs men it aint gonna be cool becouse one may have job today and can loz it 2mrw. So the right age to get marrd is that particular year you found love, u may b 20yrs and above.

One of my friends actually got married at 20 and she and her husband are doing just fine. Everyone mature at a different pace, if

you think you are old enough and ready for marriage then go for it.

Someone said - well, 19 is too young. I got married at 22, I have 3 kids and to be honest I blame my husband for so many things. No 1, I did not reach my full potential. For crying out loud I had 8As in secondary school!!!! in uni I was just ordinary and struggling. I love my kids and I love my husband, if I could turn back time, I would wait at least 4 years before marrying my hubby. To be honest my parents, grandparents, uncles and aunties asked me to wait but I refused and married with my big head. This is my story, others may have a different experience.

If you had 8As as you said, my question is at what age. I graduated at the age of 21, therefore as a bright child I would have expected you to have completed your university 1st degree by age 22 thereafter decide on marriage

For women, i suggest 25 +/-1, for men 28 and above.

Most girls get a mad rush of proposals before age 25. But at suçh age they seem confused about what they really want. Girls younger than 25 are not yet desperate for marriage and prefer playing around. By the time they cross 25, her name gets a prefix, (sister-) because she joins a penticostal church in search of husband.

I will personally not waste my time dating a girl younger than 25 because most of them are players.

Psychologically, there are stages u most past through to be fully mature to get marry, If you did not pass through those stages as a youth, you will some how feel regreat and blamed yourself of geting married. If care is not taking, you will be looking for slice mistakes in your marriage for divoice to come, for you just to fill the void you did not fill when you ware in youth.
My advice for people like this is to accept the condition and be with their spouse for better for worse, and just try to be having fun you like to have for the void to be fill.

I strongly disagree with you. Age 30 is the best time to get married for males

I think for a guy 35 should b d max age for marriage. Whether uve made it or not. Bt u must ve a job or at least a small biz. D older than 35 u get without marrying, d more unlikely it becomes for u to witness ur children's successes.

Age is not d same as maturity, to b ready for marriage u nid to b matured minded, av atleast average level of tolerance, independent, b ready to make sacrifices for ur partner..... D list is endless. Marriage is not a play tin, an escape frm ur family or financial problems (for d ladies), its not a do or die affair(as in dont marry cos ur mates are married, b sure u are ready b4 u take d bold step!

Well....i guess there's a time for everyone, which may differ from one individual to another. Our prayer should be that God should help us to be sensitive when our own time comes. The time you may not be ready may be the time when eligibles will be coming around while you may not see them at the time you are ready. That may explain why someone will look at himself/herself, wondering why with all he/she has(which ordinarily should draw suitors or eligibles) they still are single

Sorry oo... You can't be that intelligent if you blame your husband for your woes. Blaming others for your shortcomings is a past time for the weak minded. Once advice- Take Charge!!
