Once you are financially stable, I don't mean extremely rich.

As for a woman, 20 to 25. If you go pass that one, na evening newspaper dem go dey call you o. Don't be deceived, you can finish your school in your husband's house.
I need figures pls..
How much is being “financially stable” for you?
Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by Bar1941(m): 10:30am On May 01, 2025
Whatever age you know you’re financially capable to get married so far it’s over 18.

Don’t marry and become a liability to others.

There is no specific age once you are old enough. No one size fits all as our lives and paths are different. I recommend when you find someone who shares same marriage and family values with you. You two must be ready to fund these values, emotionally, physically and financially.

For a set of people who tend to despise their spouses, Nigerians are so obsessed with WHEN, rather than the quality of their marriages.

Marriage is not just something you tick from your bucket list.
pocohantas will you marry me? kiss

When u have a steady job and have a side hustle, old enough to tolerate a person's excess and ability to share your space with someone else.

Once you start developing yearnings and stirrings that seem to overwhelm good reasoning and better judgement towards your family and friends because of the opposite gender, it's time.




🌺
That's like putting the cart ahead of the horse, marriage decisions are based on reality such as Stable Income, Emotional and Psychological stability, and not some sort of yearnings or cravings, marriage no be food wey pregnant women dey crave for
Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by 0neal(m):
Knowing what i know now about biological proclivities and hard wiring for male and female...

I'd say for women 24y/o is perfect, having a present and strong father in her life is a net positive.

For men 35y/o is the sweet spot, thats if he has done the hard work of developing himself in his 20s.

For men who achieved financial stability mid to late 20s or people grew up in wealth and developed themselves further from that solid foundation can marry earlier than 35.

He should be living in his own rented apartment and have a sustainable source of income.

There is no perfect time or age to get married. Of course it's good to go pass adolescent before one should think of marriage.

One must be mature in age and character for proper decision making and also financially stable to be able to take care of the family needs as a man.

From the chronological age perspective, I would say it's not wrong if a man reaches 25 to 30, he should get married. But our society is not a perfect one, at that age a lot of guys are still hustling and struggling with a lot of challenges that even marriage is the least option in their agenda.

If you're thinking of marriage, I will advise that you should marry a supportive partner. A partner whose vision aligns with your own. You will go far. Otherwise mmmm

If your grandparents got married at 16, 19 and we are waiting till 30-40, it tells you something you should know about society.
Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by Blackdisciple(m): 11:14am On May 01, 2025
Once you are an adult which we all believe adulthood starts from 18years and above but some would say from 20years and above.
Today in our society go and see a child of 20years still dey do mumu mumu.

So in my perspective it should be from 25 and above for a girl and for a guy walai 32 and above

All these subjective questions are what forums enjoy for patronage. I'm older and wiser than participating.
Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by euwalaka: 11:22am On May 01, 2025
The standard age should be 50/45 at least two of them may have enjoyed life

For women:

23 - 28

Under 23: Immature due to underdeveloped frontal lobes especially the prefrontal cortex. Ask Gen Z.

@ 23: She must have graduated and have a career goal.
@28: She is experienced and mature to handle the rigours of life.

Above 30: She is challenging God cool But of course, there will be outliers.

They should just Kuku marry at 80/75, so they can enjoy life too it's fullest and then the couples will be struggling to Take care of a Child in thier Sixties

50/45 + 10 years old child = 60/55

Watch how the under 30 year old unemployed guys will flood this thread and tell you how marriage is scam and how women are useless and senseless and you shouldn't get married, instead spend your money on olosho.

As for the time one should get married, it depends on a lot of factors. For women, the factors aren't much. But for a man, hmmmmm. I won't say much.

For a man, it has nothing to do with age. But for ladies, anything from 20 is fine.
But marriage is a scam naa. Jesus Christ knew this thats why he didn't marry... grin
Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by Nyanabo(m): 11:47am On May 01, 2025
As soon as you are financially stable enough to cater for 3 or more mouths. No let anybody pressure you.
Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by mechanics(m): 11:50am On May 01, 2025
To me, age shouldn't come first, if one has a stable source of income and a decent house to stay, then he or she can think of getting married, as from 25 years, getting married without a source of income won't make sense.

Re: What Is The Right Age To Get Married? by franchasng: 12:21pm On May 01, 2025
With the reality of life now,


Men: 33 - 40yrs

Women: 27 - 35yrs


But you must never give birth to more than 2 kids.

Very good advice but then, in addition to what you already said, I think,


Men: 33 - 40yrs is cool

Women: 27 - 35yrs is also cool.


Marrying too young comes with so many issues.


Couples that got married at above 28/30yrs rarely have issues except financial issues

If there was a right time, many men won’t be cheating, and also many women won’t be cheating.

In fact, many have beaten their wives to death, while some wives are doing their own. So I don’t know when it’s the right time.
