a) for a man

b) for a woman.

Idealy for both? 27 .

But any time after that is cool to

As soon as you've met the right person and are both ready. You can be 18 or 62, a good marriage is about a mixture of personal readiness and the compatibility of the couple. Age doesn't really factor into it.

Don't see why there should be a difference in genders really, once both partners are mature, have similar expectations for their relantionship and know how to listen to each other

you cannot put a age on this it just happens, you know when its right

We just got engaged last week

I'm 32 and hubby to be is 31. Going together 5 years and to me these are good ages.

statss · 25-05-2009 6:36pm

about to be engaged, im 23, she's 27. probably get married in 2 years.

For me, I'd like to think I'll be ready at 27/28

Cl0ud9 · 28-05-2009 8:52pm

Me and my friends (all girls) were actually talking about this the other day and we all agreed 27 is the perfect age to get married at, which seems to be a popular answer on this thread also.

I'll be 25, my H2B will be 27 when we tie the knot (October next year). I agree with Iguana though, any age is good to get married. If my OH had proposed when we started going out (17 & 19) and we were both ready, I certainly wouldn't have said no just because we weren't the 'right' age.

I got married at 21 - 6 years married Sunday just gone. Met when I was 15

Totally depends on the person/s

I married my wife when i was 21 she was 20, I'm 40 this year and were still together.....

I don't think age is all that big of an issue, especially for guys. To be honest I think that at times some people actually lend too much weight on what's the best time, so its a question of when you know you know

I'm 29 (yesterday), H2B is 29 in 2 weeks, been together 5 yrs. feels just right now, really depends on the couple tho and what age you met! think any age is a good age!! I always wanted to be married by 30, will be just gone 30 when getting married.

God this is a depressing thread. Getting married in Ireland is still seen as an achievement!

"What age is best?"...dear oh dear

I think we should revisit this thread in 10 years and see what age was best for divorce!!!

Methinks 2009 + 5 = 2014

OP already divorced

CathyMoran · 30-05-2009 11:16am

I agree with Iguana - we got engaged 9 years before we got married but I just did not feel that I was ready...when I did we got married 3 months later, am so grateful that my husband waited for me. Having said that, if I could do it again I would have married him when I was 25, but that is just me.

Never...Don't see the point

I'm not married or divorced but i agree, if it marriage wasn't all tangled up with taxes and tax breaks i probably wouldn't even bother

What age do you think is a good age to get married?
