What do you reckon is the best age to get married?
Teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s etc?
How long do you reckon a couple should know each other before getting hitched? _________________ Helen, the Administratrix of www.area51newmexico.com

Never.
Hmmm... first we had the nieces thread
http://wwwarea51newmex.easyphpbb.com/viewtopic.php?t=6193
Now we've got a marriage thread.
Is someone starting to hear the ticking of that body clock? tick tock tick tock.
Is someone thinking about marrying someone who they've been engaged to for sometime now?
Well can I be the first to wish you happiness for the next 60 years, all the best _________________ I should update my sig. What to put here for $CurrentYear ? |

Nope, don't know what you mean:P
actually I was inspired, as usual by a topic on the good old BBC. They were asking for people to contact them if they had gotten married 'young' e.g under the age of 20. I assume they are making a TV documentary. Made me think about when would be best - not for me but people in general.
You ocassionally hear on the news that a couple in their 80s have gotten married which I think it's really sweet:) Better late that never. _________________ Helen, the Administratrix of www.area51newmexico.com

I would probably say mid to late 20's would be good for me to get married, but of course I would want to know my girlfriend for a good while before proposing (3-5 years maybe?)
Just to add this part in for fun, I would want to wait until my 30's to have kids. I want to actually live my life for a while -- without the weight of children to tend to. Thats what my father done, it worked for him, it should work for me. But thats even if I have kids... _________________ I don't really know what this world is coming to, I think the world would be so much easier if we all were high, had long hair and beards, and lived in vans. That would be the life.

I had been with my husband for a year when he proposed to me & we was engaged for a further 2 years before the big day...I was 24 when we got married. I honestly never saw myself getting married but I waited 4 years to be with my man & I knew straight away when we got together he was the one. Those 4 years were worth the wait
I don't think anyone should get married before their 20s...I do believe that is too young.
I think from mid 20s is probably a good time to get married if your happy with your partner & you truely believe its going to be a long happy one _________________ Some people are like Slinkies .....Not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

I don't think the exteranal elements have much to do with it. Immature people do better than some level headed mature types.
Money is an issue when one doesn't know how to live within one's means thus some well to do-ers fail while some poor people stick together like glue.
The list goes on. IMHO, the thing that makes or breaks it is whether BOTH people are able and willing to be committed and obligated unconditionally to each other.
If that gets a double yes, all else is immaterial.
Again, IMHO. _________________
