When would be a good age to think about marriage.
What is the best age to start thinking about marriage.
Comments
yet again.. i am 15, so i shouldn't have a say in on this....
Where i live, people are limited and i really cannot find anyone in which i would want to marry. I am really worried. Pray for me.
don't worry, God will send the right partner in due time, you might look for years and not find that "one from God" and you might look in 2 days.... it is all GOD and He knows the best for you
i don't think it's something you should try and plan out..
it happens naturallyy
but 25 is a good age to get married even if God sent you the right person before that..
cuz by 25...you're hopefully done with your education and well on your way to a career,,adnd ect.
Yeah..just try to be more social and put yourself in situations outside your comfort zone (not in a bad way) so you can come out of your shell a little (:
For girls i would say 23ish
I'm really not sure as i got soem many yrs to go=)

It does depend on how prepared you are! I mean if i am 25 and still in college and still living with my parents and work in a super market/ a resturant then that is not a good time to get married.
bas most people finish school around age 22/23 and then they get the job they dreamed of and start thinking about marriage!
Most females after college get married at an earlier age than males! I guess because their parents want to yetamano on her!
If you are a male/female done with college, have a good career! living on your own and your income allows you to support another person! then go for it :) bas that person will come to you! they will run into you and then god will let his hand work if it is written for you to get married to that person! :)

This is kinda a foolish question to ask. Instead of saying what age, you should be asking at what point in my life. The answer to that is when you are well into your career (successfull too!) and do not live with your parents but maintain your own house/apartment and you are ready for committment and spending the rest of your life with someone. This is the time to start considering marriage; however, if you are 25 and still do not hold these qualities than you are far away from even thinking about marriage. First thing is first...get a career, do well in it, live on your own (not with parents), then you are ready. The whole point of doing this is so that you can learn how to support yourself because if you cant support yourself, how do you expect to support your wife? or family? The age thing can vary...
God Bless

This is what I am saying, bas in a NICE WAY ! :P hahahahaha
I am going to give you an example!
there is this girl who was 17 at the time (masreya 100 el 100 tab3an) and her parents wanted to get her attention to this marriage/engagment idea without her knowing! so one day she was supposed to "VISIT AN OLD WOMAN SHE DOESN"T KNOW WITH HER PARENTS" bas it ended up to be the family of the guy her parents wanted her to know. at first she thought that was crazy she is tooo young for that, she was still in high school, she wanted to finish college first then think about ENGAGMENT not marriage! bas it ended up that person was the best thing that ever happened to her :) she is engaged from him and she has a ring :) and totaly madely in love with him! they have agreed to wait for marriage 'till both of them finish school! and he finished yesterday :) :) and she will be done in 2 yrs :)

loool i like el 7adoota...
worrying about that the right person is no where to be found is normal because thats what happens with most girls who want a decent/loving/lasting marriage...and thats what they all say in their wedding speech (i have found the person ive been dreaming of..i thought it was impossible..blah blah)
to be honest i think it is strange that the normal thing we are supposed to do is sit and wait for the person..although what alternative do we have? ofcourse your personality can help you if your are confident and outspoken..
i mean..dont put yourself under pressure..take it easy but believe in yourself..you can be what you want to be and you are god's child! how good is that? there is nothing in you that you should be ashamed of..
a lot of girls who are shy feel uncomfortable with the way they look and this greatly affects their confidence (might apply to males also but i am not sure) although it shouldnt because the inner beauty is FAR MORE IMPORTANT and who you are inside is what makes you you..the person who deserves to be with you is the one who appreciates who you are inside and respects your principles and beliefs.
also you say the people around you are 'limited'..we see this with our eyes but you never know what god can see for you..you might end up with the strangest happily ever after... :) bless you..good luck.
What is the best age to start thinking about marriage.
I honestly think that if God has showed you that your path is for marriage, then I would recommend marriage as you are able to support a family, and provided that you have found the right person. That's really important. A lot of people, at a young age, are anxious to meet their soul mates, but its not always evident. Having said that, by marrying young, there's the benefit of being able to adapt to each other's characters easily than say if you married when you are older, and set in your ways.
