What do you think is a good age to settle down, get married and have kids?

Anytime after 25, because you mature and change so much between the ages of 18 and 25.  Plus it gives you a chance to get the partying out of you're system and you get a chance to be young and have fun without worrying about anybody else.   May sound selfish but every once in a while we all have a right to be selfish and if you're married you don't have that chance.

The best age for marriage varies for each person. A lot of factors must be considered - background, upbringing, values, beliefs, culture, etc. not to mention personal preferences, but it is ideal that before marriage, a woman must at least be emotionally mature and at best financially independent.

It's not age... it's about finances and being mature enough to handle marriage.

Although I don't think most people are ready by 18, some are mature enough and stay married for life. By the same token there are fools of all ages that marry without real thought.\nMore importantly than an age limit, I think what would improve success rates would be a waiting period...register and then marry a year later. There could be exceptions for extreme circumstances (illness, perhaps going away to war) but I think there'd be fewer divorces if people weren't allowed to marry impulsively.

I don't think you should be worried at all.  If it is really important to you to have kids then it would be ideal for you to be married by 32-ish...BUT the best advice I have ever been given is this:  Live your life and enjoy every second of it...if you worry too much about who you're gonna marry and win, you might get so wrapped up in it all that you miss him entirely.  \n\nEnjoy life.  Love will come.

Under the right circumstance, the age part would be okay.  But since you are asking, it sounds like you are not sure, and that is definitely not a time to get married!  At 18 and 20, probably neither of you are able to support a household.  If a baby came along, how would you manage?  \n\nIf you love each other, respect each other enough to do this right.  Both of you should get an education first, or at least be well on your way in a career that has a future.  You will know in your heart when the time is right.

I dont think there is a good age to get married, just make sure its the right time for you.  Never rush into marriage even if you are determened to be with the same person for the rest of your life, plan your wedding the way you want it and start saving for the things you would like.  I get pressured alot from my boyf family to marry now.  But even thou ive been with him for over 8 yrs we know we want he full works at our wedding and we know that doing it now is easy but thatwould be a budgetted wedding and its not what we want.

I agree, it's probably not the most logical place to ask "is it a good time to get married"... only YOU can answer that.  well, you and your boyfriend.\n\nYou are on the right tracking thinking about finances and feelings.  Continue to discuss things with your boyfriend.  Where will you live?  Does he have a stable job?  Does he have or want children? Do you?  When?  Who will care for them?  How will you raise them?  Discuss reglion.  How will this come into play with children.  Have your families met?  Do you have the same goals and values?\n\nMarriage is awesome!  It's important to really think about it and plan for it.  So while I may have teased you a little for asking "should I think about marriage"- I think it's good you ARE thinking and planning.  Go with the flow and let things happen naturally.  If it's the right time to get married/engaged, you and your boyfriend will know it.  In the mean time, start talking about goals and longer term plans with him.

18, usually. However, with parental consent, you can get married as young as 16.

Oh how I can relate!  My husband is 32 and I am 23.  We have been together since I was 16 years old.  We are now married with 3 beautiful children and after almost 8 years are great.  I think it depends on the maturity of both couples.  I think people have a predestined idea that age is so important.  I am sorry but I have seen people who are 25 not be able to handle having a baby while an 19 year old can, my point, maturity.  If you are able to willingly work on your relationship then there is no reason why you cannot make it last.  You also need to believe in yourself and make sure you know what you want.  It is your decision and your's alone and no one can tell you what is best for you but you.

24 is still young!  Don't rush things:)  I am also 24, and unmarried.  I don't want to get married for a while still.  I want to do so many things before I settle down.  If you marry, it should be for true love.  Don't settle just so you won't be single anymore.  Enjoy your single time!  Love will come your way, most of the time when you least expect it!

Kids these days want to grow up too fast without taking into account the consequences of supporting a family at an age where they aren't legally allowed to have a job due to their age. Your personal preferences of marriage should be respected by your fellow peers. If they have a problem with it, then don't let what they say about you spoil your mood for anything. I'm 22 not married, and also don't plan to for a LONG TIME.... \n\nAnyhow, um, if you are from a community where post-25 marriage is looked down upon, then make a stand and tell them that it's just not the time for you.

About 25, at that age you are still young enough to enjoy them and run around in the yard.  When people have children really late in life I always think about how they are lessening their chances of seeing their grandchildren.  I am 32 and I have a 71/2 y/o son.  I'm divorced now.  If I remarried I would consider having additional children if my mate wanted them, however, I really don't think that another marriage or other kids are in the cards for me.  When you become a parent the focus is not on you and your needs anymore, Its all about what is best for the child.  To me anything above 3 kids is too many.  I would not want to have so many kids that we couldn't ride in a regular car.  I know families who have big vans just to fit all their kids, that would suck.\n\nGood luck and think hard before having kids, you can't go back! ;)

Give yourself until 40 unless you want kids. At 40 you're more settled in your ways and it'll be a new adventure for the two of you. Would you be marrying for convenience, to have a partner to do things with? If so, I wouldn't get married. Keep your friendship. It'll probably last longer than a marriage.

I bet your going to get a lot of similar answers, but I do not believe there is a right age.  I do believe someone in their 30s is much more mature and much more capable of knowing they are ready to be together.  The younger you are the more likely you are to divorce according to statistics.
