marriage

At what age would you ideally get married? When's the earliest you would suggest someone get married?

Is there a certain number of years you want(ed) to be together before you got married?

 

I think it depends

a lot of very young couples tend to get divorced

I would say you should be with someone for at least a year

 

I think 27+ is good. That is my own personal opinion, of course.

 

Also, I think at least 2 years of being together before jumping in. Everyone is very different though.

 

28

3 or 4 or more

 

I've heard of people getting married after being together for only a few months. this is why I said at least a year

more time together is better, but I would say hold out for at least a year even if you're chomping at the bit

if you have spent lots of time together and are really sure you want to marry someone, that's more important than a particular age, imho

 

After 25+.
The earliest? I have no idea... depends on their culture since my paternal grandmother got married when she was 15. Also, I've had friends who got married fresh out of high school but are they really ready?

I'm not married (yet) but I think it's best to wait AT LEAST 5 years before tying the knot. I plan on doing so someday.

 

I don't believe in marriage myself.

 

18 or 80... it really never mattered

just the day i fall head over heals in love with somebody.

 

Having gone through that avenue: - "Love forever, forsake others, be true to you etc " and been 'disappointingly let down', mine is a somewhat clouded thought process on marriage - Never say never, but unlikely to go down that road again - Love does not need a piece of paper, only financial stability and safeguarding ones property - meThinks (for what it's worth!) One should stay Boyfriend(s) / Girlfriend (s) together in that free harmony for as long as is (practically) possible -Care, trust and passion does not require conventions stamp
Though if that sounds TOO cynical -I guess the time will come when you both feel it right to commit = the time -
May fortune smile

 

Married at 30, divorced at 43. Im not doing that again. Skip all the bullshit and just live together..

 

Whatever age you are both ready to give up on life, turn into your parents, and bore everyone else to death

 

Don't get married young. I would extend this to "don't get married at all because it's pointless and love without the paper is just as if not even more meaningful" but obviously that's your choice.

I was 20 and I left at 21. Don't do it...divorces are expensive.

Also, as you can see from looking above, a lot of it is corporate shallow bullshit like cards and getting an expensive dress you'll only wear once and paying loads of money for bits of metal mined by hungry people in war-torn countries.

Not to mention the fact that it changes nothing...apart from your name, which is also stupid. I never realised how oppressive having my own surname taken away was until I got my maiden name back.

 

If you are wondering what age to get married, you're not old enough yet. If you are wondering how long you should be together, you haven't been together long enough yet.

I was married at 22, my wife was 19, and we had been together about 2 years. We have been together ever since.

I think if you believe it is okay to get divorced, you should never get married. If you are not committed to each other, there is no way your marriage will last.

 

I don't believe in marriage. So never?

 

This.

i dont really care about marriage...

...but if you plan on officializating your lifelong union with someone, you should have at least lived together with them for quite some time...

 

I think the age of marriage depends on the passion and love between the couples, if the couple do not have good base about love , the marriage do not last and be sweet~~~

 

I figure at least a year is a good amount of time to be together before deciding to get married.

I've been with my boyfriend for a 1 1/2 years, and we both agreed we wanted to be married by the time we're 25. He just needs to propose though...I'm just playing the waiting game.

 

I don't think I will ever marry. But if you have to.... Whatever you do, you should have lived together before you do that (except if your religion doesn't allow it and it's against your morals and so on and so forth) It's not like marrying is the one thing that allows you to make a home and have children. Rather than thinking "When do I get married?" I'd think about "When do I move in together?" because that's the thing that can actually be life changing. IMO The Marriage is just a party and some legal stuff. If you're sure you want your partner to inherit everything, then it's probably a good time.

 

got married at 19 -divorced at 23 , married again at 25- divorced again at 34 , married again at 44( but lived together for 10 years first) and still together .So age doesnt matter if it works it works , live together first though thats my 2cents worth
