Happy holiday NLs'!! Just wanna know y'all opinions! There is a lot of pressure mostly especially Nigeria women to get married before they turn 25. Is is too late to get married in your late twenties, early thirties? |

25 is the purrrrrrfect age to marry. Before that and above age 21 is even better. Well it really well depend on how ready you both are. |

No No No its not too late what is this? a race to a finish line I didnt hear about because I have been living under a rock? My aunty got married recently and she was in her 30s, the age her colleagues who got married early were getting their divorces. Its not a race with a price, this is a life-long journey. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Ebonyeyes:There are some truth in what you said. But you cant possibly assume that everybody that got married early got married because they were worried about their age. |

Ebonyeyes:I said "you cant assume". I read the implication in your first post. Anywyz, you're right, society should stop pressuring women. |

Its not how early but getting it right that counts, african folks should stop pressurizing people into getting married just to satisfy their "obsession for grand-children!!!  |

I would say 25-28 is a good age to get married,depending on when you want to start having kids.I have never wanted to be an older parent as my parents had me late.Being married doesn't stop you from achieving your goals 1 Like |

Thanks everyone for your advice. Just that i have been getting a lot of presure lately and from family and my married friends are not making it easy for me. They keep bragging about getting married like they won a trophy. |

cecegirl: thats naija for you. the best time depends on the indivdual and there are alot of things to consider and be real about. are u the type that can fully depend on a man for even the basics like ur pant and bra - if u are then younger is best cos if u have no plans to build a career or become financially secure b4 u start bring children into the world then do what u want to if u are independent minded i would say wait a while and do something for yourself. i'm not saying all women who marry young don't have financial security but a human being will not bite the hand that feeds them. anyway there is no perfect age - although i wish i had got married younger. as a woman i think its best to start a family early cos boy does the body tire out the older we get. anyway thats my 2 cents |

The best age to get married is when you're emotionally mature enough to handle the ups and downs of marriage,and you've found the person you feel you can spend the rest of your life with. Only fools rush in where angels fear to tread. 3 Likes |

Its not too late 'cos the earlier the better (in my opinion) Between 25 & 33 for ladies especially isnt bad |

A friend got married at 19, big wedding and everything but she is now divorced at the ripe young age of 28. Its not a race to the finish line. |

Early marriage is so cool. I'm still quite young and my first baby is 11 already. Guess i got lucky. Some girls get married in the late thirties. Late marriage takes it's toll on female fertility. |

I honestly don't think that people should care how old they are but rather how mature they are. Couples are getting married at older ages than people used to because they've opted to study, find a career, and find out who they are before throwing themselves into marriage. I think that is the best direction for any woman to take. Even if you plan to be a stay at home mom (which is admirable) take the time to find out who you truly are first. There's no set age on the best time to get married. I think it just depends on how both people feel. 1 Like 1 Share |

25-28 is ok or before 31.For ladies.These days women tend to menopause pretty early.I recently heard a startling news of a 35 year old lady already in menopause.There are more important things to face in marriage than age,while it's gd for woman to marry early so they can plan their family early. Maturity is d key. Nobody wants baby husbands or baby wives. |

i also think 25 is the ideal age. late twenties is not bad but thirties is getting late oh! at thirty you are so close to menopause. if the woman is waiting because she wants to give time to her career i'd say no need to wait till 30. but if she hasn't found a good guy then i guess there's really no right age. in that case it's never too late, and if it turns out she's passed the child-bearing stage she can always adopt. might as well have a happy marriage with adopted kids, than a patch-patch marriage with many biological kids. 3 Likes |
