What age do you want to get married?

is it true that women typically want to get married at an earlier age than men? if so, could any speculate as to why that might be?

I don't want children and don't associate marriage with the urge to get pregnant and never do anything ever again. You can get married at 23 and still travel - either together or alone. Marriage isn't giving up your life for someone else, it's just sharing the life that you've planned for yourself WITH someone else.

Yeah, women are taught from an early age that their wedding day is gonna be the greatest day of their lives.

In my family that isn't the case, it's quite the oppposite hence my parents wanting me to delay marriage for now lol!

Are you religious?

Some people my age are already married

I want to get married at 26

Some people my age are already married

I want to get married at 26

How old are you?

I know right, I'm only 21 and people 1/2 years older than me are getting married. One girl got married at 20 😳 .. Some even have children lol!

I wouldn't mind getting married at 26 though

When you find the right person, you find the right person. At the end of the day the age you find it doesn't matter. I don't know how old you are but there are people who married young and have been together for a really long time, sometimes it doesn't work out but the point is that you can't live your life thinking "now isn't the time" because before you know it you'll be 40 and going through some existential crisis because in all the time you've been alive you haven't actually done anything and its now too late.

I guess but the idea of tying myself down so young doesn't sound great

At the end of the day, there is no need to mention what type of house you live in as it's irrelevant to this thread. There are a lot of things that come with marriage and a sort of that is paying bills in terms of mortgage which is what I was referring to.

By getting married early I will miss out on my 20's as I plan on working on my career and going travelling etc. I want to be financially stable before I settle down and before that I have stuff I want to accomplish. My personal goals if you'd like.

Not sure why you've mentioned the former in responding to me, as I've not made any mention of the house I live in. But on that subject, you don't have to have a mortgage once you're married; a huge number of married people still rent; not everyone has the choice to buy. And unmarried couples living together also have bills and rent/mortgage to pay - not really seeing why marriage is the obstacle here?

I find it strange that you think you 'miss out on' your 20s as a married person. My husband and I have worked on our careers and travelled pretty extensively (sometimes with each other, sometimes alone/with other friends) both before and after we were married. You don't have to do everything together if you're married, for goodness' sake. I just think it's weird to see being married as a barrier to doing normal things that married people everywhere are doing every day.*

Exactly! If you want to do a massive extravaganza wedding that costs about £30,000 then sure, you probably need to have a high income in order to pay. But my partner and I just want to do a simple wedding, registry office with two witnesses and then have a party with friends/family afterwards. I bet I shall wear the same dress I wore to my graduation.
