What is the right age to get married and have children?

[Catzsy]

I think probably about 25/ 26 to get married or commit to a life long relationship as I don't really see getting married as that important although maybe it is best if children are planned. I think I would like a career first and then have children so would leave it to my early thirties when the relationship has been well and truly tested. What are your views on this as there could be disadvantages waiting as well?

I'd say anything after 24 is a good age to get married, and children any time around/after that. :)

Would that mean that she marries every month or when she has reached menopause?

Mid 20's for kids/marriage.

[,Lexiilu]

I'd say anything above 23 is fine :)

[Arron]

I'd like to be married once I settle into my career. I could be talking 26-30.

[Blinger1]

I personally think whenever the both of you two feel mature enough to have a kid. I don't think you need to be married to have a kid as long as the two of you are committed.

Getting married, maybe between 27-30? I think that'd be fine.

[Gibs960]

I want to be able to support my family before I have a family. So until I get a good paying job, I don't think I'll be having kids.

[dbgtz]

12 is a good age.
Na I think as long as your ready you can get married or have kids.

[MrGazet]

As long as you feel ready and responsible.Supposedly,24 above is fine.

I myself would like to get married at the age 25,OHHH only a few yearrsss away!
but then,I would not if I couldn't support them

[kooldude23]

I personally dont think there isnt a "right age". It's purely down the the individual. Its about when you feel confident enough to make the comitment, not worrying that you are leaving it to late.

I agree if you're talking about marriage. I do want a family when I'm older, but I want to make sure I'm financially stable first, which might take me into my early thirties.

[Sentrax]

Whatever the couple are comfortable with.
My ideal situation would be to get married around 23, and have kids around 26.

[bamitsbev]

anything above 25/26 is fine
so long as you both are in a good job and have the financial stability and you can trust each other

[kuzkasate]

Well I would say, once you've finished your education, got a job then worked at your job for quite a while so you'll have enough cash to keep the family going. So around 25+

[meanto]

wow ... hmmm

for me the right age is 26, I am so going overboard in few months. By then, you have enough savings to feed and secure your family...

i dno i wouldn't like to have children wen im 30 cos i want my child to be like "my daddy is only 23" il be like yh i am pretty young nd cool

[5,5]

Id say whenever you feel ready for both.
But if I had to put the number out there that I think society would accept your choices Id say around 24 or 25.

[Sharon]

20+ at least.

[Black_Apalachi]

I recently heard about two people who were in my year at school that have got engaged and are pregnant. Some people can be ready very young so obviously it just depends on the people. Personally though I would agree with the OP - around 30 once you've built up a strong position in life with a good career etc.

Getting married at 25, having kids at 26-28

Wow! Nice to see somebody so decisive and positive! =]

I don't think there is a right age. We are all individuals, with different backgrounds and have different paths to follow. It's possible to meet your soul mate at the age of 16 and because you aren't ready for a long time commitment, may not meet the perfect partner again for years to come. Too many people rush into marriages or having children at an early age, unprepared for what life throws at them. It's important to discover who you really are, what you truly want from life and firstly to enjoy opportunities that may not be available once you settle into a life long relationship and have a family.

I read an article a few days ago where a woman blamed her marriage failure on having triplets. At first I sympathized until I read the whole story, and only then could I see how different her life could of been had they planned and prepared for a family.

So for me it's more about meeting the right person at any age, learning about each other, before entering into a life time commitment. Ideally I would like a family before I reach 30, I don't want to learn at 30+ that because fertility decreases there are complications.

[wixard]

i don't want to get married, so i don't have any problems there
but for kids... if i did meet somebody i liked enough to have kids with, it'd be 27+

i want to get the best of my education and for me that'll mean til i'm 24, then i wanna take time to find a job and move back to canada
then i have to start a whole new life for myself, and sooo i seriously doubt i'll have time for kids for a little while
