I don't think there's a right or wrong - personally, I want to have lived a bit first, so late twenties/early thirties. Having said that, my grandparents got married when they were 19 and were married for 50-odd years!

I'd like to get married when I'm about 26 - old enough to have done all the young, irresponsible things I want to do, and young enough not to look like an old hag in my wedding pictures, or worry that it's never going to happen to me!

Ithink you should definitely have kids before you're 30 (if its possible ie you can financially do it etc.. :rolleyes:

) so maybe be married about 27-29??

I'd like to have kids around age 30, and i want a few years to enjoy my husband before that so maybe 25/26? Although i don't think younger than that is a problem if you believe you've got the right person, you're relationship is stable and you can afford to live together on your own. xx

I suppose it depends on when you're ready, and when you feel that your relationship is steady and long-term enough to last the rest of your life. I'd say from mid/late 20s to 40s would be the right age for your first marriage. When you're too young, say under 20, you (generally) don't have enough experience in life and may make on-the-spot decisions which you come to regret. Plus you don't get to enjoy your early 20s where you can be single and do whatever you like! :p:

I suppose it doesn't really matter on the other end of the spectrum, unless you are planning to have children, where being young would be better for your child, generally.

I personally would want to get married between 25-30. I still want a career, but I don't want to get started too late. If I get married in my 40s or something, I'd have no energy to cope with babies.

Having said that, those stories about two really old people getting romantic again is rather cute. :p:
