How young is too young to get married?
i want to get married between 20-25. ( thats not too far away from now) anyway i hear alot of people saying thats too young n crap. to me, 30+ is too old. but to me as long as the person has a stable job n decent salary money it doesnt matter what age you are

It's really your personal decision. I just got married this year and I am 22. I've heard alot of people say to wait until your late twenties because in your early twenties you are still trying to find yourself. Again, it's a personal choice and you shouldn't pressure anyone to get married if they are not ready, guys in general. My husband is 25 and all of his friends think he's crazy for being married at a young age. He and I have been together for six years. Good luck ;)

I think any age of 21 is fine. But after this point age has little to do with it. To me (as you mentioned) it has more to do with the person being stable, having a job, knowing who they are, their morals and what they want from life and THEN finding someone who has done all of this as well and has similar goals and morals.
Like others said, don't get married because you are 24. Also, there is a lot more to marriage than a stable job. You have to be stable as a person as well.

Married husband at 23, he was 28. We are both teachers, very much in love and know where we want to go in life, now 26 and 30 expecting a little one. I wouldn't change a thing.

Sometimes marriage doesn't happen as planned by an individual. you need your partners consent on the exact time. as you discuss this issue time is also moving so you might find yourself off target.
you talk of a stable job n decent salary. to me i think what matters is, does the person loves me. people get sacked and money evaporates like morning dew but true love shines forever. so if you are after the love of money go for the parameters you have set.

i'm 21 and in College my boyfriend of 2 years just turned 20 and has a good paying job. He doesn't want to get Married until he's 22 or 23. Its important to have a good paying job. Because there is a whole bunch of bills to consider, health insurance, groceries, electric, gas, rent/morgage, car insurance, car payments, life insurance, home owners insurance, cable/satellite, etc....I'm personally not going to get Married until I'm out of College. It's hard to find a job even with a College degree right now because of the recession. so to answer your question, not until your out of College. between the ages 22-25 is ideal.

Depends from country to country, society to society, culture to culture. In some countries marriage below 18 is illegal, and in that count too young too.
