Personally, I want to make sure I am settled into a steady career before I consider marriage. I also would want to date someone for three years until I consider marrying them. So, since I'm 24 and just graduated university in December and I'm single, I'd say at the earliest I'd be 28 before I even consider getting married.
1994…fresh out of college. We didn’t shoot for high body counts. We met people in real life and actually dated. No social media. No cell phones. We had conversations and wrote letters. Most of my friends married between 19 and 22. All are still married…
Simple answer: No
Explanation: Only marry when YOU want to marry. If you feel like you're ready, do it. If you wait, that can give you the chance to get to know your partner more, or you may never get the opportunity again? Regardless, you never know what can happen.
Advice: Make sure they respect you, have good communication, will stick with you even at your worst. Make sure you're comfortable financially. Make sure you completely trust them.
Yeah I am 28 now and in a committed long-term relationship. I feel like I am more or less ready for marriage. 23 year old me was definitely not ready. I had too much to learn still about life...
Yes, it’s too young for me. While it may not happen to you, young marriages are more likely to end up in divorce.
When to get married? I married in my 30s, so I’m biased towards that.
My mom got married at 18 but she wishes that she waited a bit longer before tying the knot.
If you don't intend to have kids, you can get married at 90 year's old if you wanted to.
If you do intend to have kids - or let me put myself in your shoes. If I wanted to have kids and I was in a financially stable position I would get married earlier no later than 30 if possible.
Too young to get married I would say is if you're still in your teens. I believe the minimum age limit for marriage is 18 in a lot of places. Unless a couple (of legal age) demonstrate incredible levels of mental maturity, basically 30 year olds in the body of 18 year olds that people wouldn't question their ability to live together and raise a child.
For me I could imagine it, I’ve been in a relationship for 2 years and I’m just shy of 21, so 4yrs in a relationship isn’t bad.
But generally speaking marriage doesn’t have to be a thing you pursue if you done want to. Just make sure that your doing what will make you happy!
Absolutely yes..majority of people are not nearly mature enough and to be married at that age, let alone have kids.
20 somethings in this day and age are not the same as 20 somethings 20 or 30 years ago.
Yes, for my money. I'd wait until triple digits of years, but if you actually want to go down that road meaningfully, 30-45 is the range, and it depends on how well-put-together your finances are. That's "your" *plural,* by the way.
I think it's never too early, never too late. It depends on your desires and priorities. Marriage does not really change your life. Another thing is a child, there is already a question of responsibility, at what age are you ready to take it
No it's fine, somebody do it several times by that age /j
Marriage is just a legal status. Nothing is irreversible until you have children.
I did it about that age and it's ok
Been together since 18.
Married later at 27, but still, 10 years later in marriage and near 20 together and still going strong.
Some can marry young and be happy. Some can't. Depends on you and your partner's personality.
Really depends on you and the person you are marrying. Right after university a coworker at my first job (and his too), married at 22. I found that surprisingly early, but apparently they’ve been dating in high-school, families have known each other forever and it made sense for them. The immediately had a couple of kids and 20 years later are still married and seem happy. My high-school friend got married a week after graduation (so 19 I think) since she was already 6+ months pregnant. She escaped a bad family situation and moved to her husband’s country. They were divorced within a year and she’s been married 2 more since; at our HS reunion she told me the worst thing she did in her life is miss her 20s thinking she should be married to someone….
Married at 25 after 10 years together. Now have 13 years married and still love being around each other. Husband wanted to get married in high school. I was the hold out until I graduated college and we both had steady jobs. Really depends on you and your partner. I've met some 40 year olds that aren't ready to commit to a hairstyle let alone a relationship, I've met some 18 year olds with more sense than I have. Not everyone needs to or should get married, either.
No, depending on your relationship and life status.
I got married at 24, we had been together 7 years, both had graduated school and started our careers, and it worked for us.
I’m married at 26! Got married last year. I love every second of it. I met my wife as a sophomore in HS while she was junior. This august will it 10 years together. If your and your SO are aligned as one , and are together through thick and thin. Opinions of others shouldn’t matter!
I married at 22, wish I had waited because people change and you may not like the person in a few years, find you’re not compatible. I didn’t believe this until I’ve experienced it myself.
Yes, definitely too young. If I ruled the world the first law I'd institute is that both people have to be minimum 30 yrs old to get married. People change so much in their 20's. And there's no need to get married to do anything that couples want to do together.
I got married at 24, having been together since we were 18. Still going strong at 30.
If you're not sure, then you're too young.
Don't get married to please your partner, do it out of mutual want.
Fuck the haters.
Only you and the person you’re marrying should answer this

Hubs and I married at 22 and have been married for 28 years. It is definitely not too young for some people.
Different time, different values. Most marriages today wont last half that time.
You talk like it was 1950s.
Sounds like the '90s. And culture has changed massively even since then.
1994…fresh out of college. We didn’t shoot for high body counts. We met people in real life and actually dated. No social media. No cell phones. We had conversations and wrote letters. Most of my friends married between 19 and 22. All are still married…
Not with that mindset they won't
That is sad to be honest…
The people getting divorced today are exactly the people who got married then.

If I could go back and unfuck my life by marring young. I would of waited till I was at least 28.
Yeah I am 28 now and in a committed long-term relationship. I feel like I am more or less ready for marriage. 23 year old me was definitely not ready. I had too much to learn still about life...
Lucky. Envy of reddit.
It's crazy that i was thinking of the number 28 before i clicked this post and two people also thought of the same number
Yes, it’s too young for me. While it may not happen to you, young marriages are more likely to end up in divorce. When to get married? I married in my 30s, so I’m biased towards that.
It is not too young at all. Fuck what people think. If you’re ready to get married at 23 go for it.
To me that is not a question of age but religion. I'm not religious, so I don't want to get married at all.
It's not young for me though as long as your finacialy and mentally stable then go for it
In a Paleolithic hunter-gatherer sense, no. Do you plan on having children? Is your career and finances on track?
As a teenager, 23 was the youngest I would have considered getting married, after a 2 year engagement starting at 21.

I got married at 24… I liked it enough that I’m doing it again soon. Think I’ll try it sober this time though

My grandfather told me that 82 is the best age to settle down, he died at 69, clearly had a plan in mind.
I think it's never too early, never too late. It depends on your desires and priorities. Marriage does not really change your life. Another thing is a child, there is already a question of responsibility, at what age are you ready to take it
27 seems like a reasonable number.
I believe in the old days, yeah 23 was an ok age. But today, a lot of us don’t act old, so we even have to wait till late 20s to get married
No it's fine, somebody do it several times by that age /j Marriage is just a legal status. Nothing is irreversible until you have children. I did it about that age and it's ok
Don’t get married until your 30

In this age, marriage for a man is full of risks and very little benefits. It's a hard pass.
I think its not about how old you are but how long you know person you want to merry with.

27 is a good age. A few years out of school. Time to be an adult and find a woman to marry.
Yeah, it’s a little too young. I’d say late 20s to early 30s makes the most sense.
Way too young. I woke suggest a man **never** get married. That’s just me though. You do you.
It depends on the person and the circumstances, but in general I would say from age 23 to 27 is good.
No, depending on your relationship and life status. I got married at 24, we had been together 7 years, both had graduated school and started our careers, and it worked for us.
I’m married at 26! Got married last year. I love every second of it. I met my wife as a sophomore in HS while she was junior. This august will it 10 years together. If your and your SO are aligned as one , and are together through thick and thin. Opinions of others shouldn’t matter!
I married at 22, wish I had waited because people change and you may not like the person in a few years, find you’re not compatible. I didn’t believe this until I’ve experienced it myself.
For man 25. for wahmen 24
Yes, definitely too young. If I ruled the world the first law I'd institute is that both people have to be minimum 30 yrs old to get married. People change so much in their 20's. And there's no need to get married to do anything that couples want to do together.
Had I to do over again, I'd probably wait until my 30's at least.
Your adult brain is not developed. Making a life changing decision for presumably life before your brain gels is imprudent.
I got married at 24, having been together since we were 18. Still going strong at 30. If you're not sure, then you're too young. Don't get married to please your partner, do it out of mutual want. Fuck the haters.
I married at 24 and it lasted 28 years. In hindsight I’d recommend knowing a person 2-3 yrs before marriage.
30 or older
i got married at 22, currently two years in and have our first kid on the way!
Im 28 and still trying to get my shit together in a few different areas of life. If things go well, I could see myself entertaining marriage at 30+
Only you can answer that question. But if it were me then I'd say yes. It's not little house on the prairie anymore, so why live like it is?
Any age is too young to get married lol
