I'v been pondering what the right age is for a guy to get married. I'm 27 and my parents say I'm getting old lol. I stay alone in a small apartment(1 bedroom), drives a good car and i'm a bit stable financially but anytime I reason the bills that comes with marriage and the numerous responsibility, I go just tire. E.g. Moving out from my 1bed to a 3bed in my area will need I cough out 1.5M for rent. Chei. I can see why many men are not ready. angry. What ur take on this guys?

If you wait till you have enough before you get married, you would never get married.
When both of you feel financial capable, take the plunge.
I got married @ 25, living in a 2 bedroom rented apartment. 15 years later and 3 kids, we now own a 4 bedroom house, financial comfortable, a couple of cars later, and the hustle still continues!!!!!

Well I can see our men are still boys, marriage is an institution that you collect your certificate before doing the exam. It is nt sometin to delibrate much on because this time u barely find a God fearing lady who will marry you for who you are, but mind u if u are not lazy,selfish,aggressive but u God wisdom, a little finance to start with, a shelter to stay, and mostly the fear of God, also a woman who can be wit u forever don't tink about anytin just go ahead and marry. Only d grace of God can see u tru even d marriage of d rich crash.

Your idea of responsibility is financial. Anyone can decide to be responsible but can u back it up financially? E.g rent hall for wedding, house rent for a 3 bed, marriage rites, having a kid etc. Can you do all that if you earn only 3million per annum? embarassed
yeah, cos as u go higher ur salary increases, u ar funny o, wen some people earn abt 1 million per annum, dey ar living comfortable, 3million per annum is even on d high side, infact no federal job wil give u dat pay for a start.

Ages does not matter Bro, what matter is your financial ability to cater for the marriage.
But on the other hand i think the suitable ages for marriage should be 27yrs to 30yrs. So that before you start livin on pension/gratuity your future kids are graduates.

One is only ready,when you are prepared and matured spiritually, mentally, financially, emotionally and physically.
Personally, after achieving certain goals you just get to a point where it feels right to get married.
But if you have met the right person, there's no point waiting, knowing fully well that you are capable.
For me I work with my intuition, I just know is time to allow it happen.

There is no right age to get married. But rather, there is a right time to get married.
What you should ask yourself is if this is the right time for you to get married.

In my opinion, the right time for a man to get married is when he is stable in every or most areas of his life.
There are certain criteria that has to be met before any man dabbles into marriage.

Such criteria include:
Financial stability
Emotional stability
Being able to make good decisions and judgments
Being mature enough to be in a relationship.
Being able to understand what marriage and being a husband and a father entails.
Being able to be a father figure to your children. Both financially and other wise
Having the desire to get married.

When these criteria are met, then are man is ready for marriage.
wow, u ave done justice to d question, nice one, kudos, n if nt married my prayer 4 u is to get d bone of ur bone n flesh of ur flesh, n if married, i wish u d best in ur marital life.

You are absolutely right on target. I got married few months after getting my MBA at the age of 23 and my wife just got her Bachelors degree in Nursing. I thought I was making a decent living to take care of the family. Twenty plus years of wedded bliss. My mum was against it initially because she thought I was young . The best thing to happen to me is my wife and the lovely kids. Your guts will tell you when you are ready. No age is specific for marriage.

There is no perfect age to get married but it all depends on the readiness.

For those who believe they must be made before they get married,i do not blame then judging from the way our ladies juxtapose financial status with readiness but one thing many people do not know is that as long as a man is not lazy, there will always be a way out even if you marry without a job.

There is only a type of favor that GOD gives when you find a wife and get married.

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.(Proverbs 18:22)

Lol. Likewise both Mum's. My mum wanted me to marry from her church, her mum wanted her to marry from her church.
We forged ahead regardless, and my wife is the best woman, best wife, best friend, best sister in law, perfect homemaker etc etc etc, anyone man would want or desire.

We are both alike in the sense that I figured that my mum has got no right to tell me whom I should get married to. They are best of friends now and my father never let my mum forget how opposed she was to the marriage. My folks are in Chicago now on holiday and guess my mum and wifey are out shopping . That's women for you.
