+1 better to get married younger and wait a few years before kids. If you did end up divorcing it’s not a big deal because you’re still in your 20s and don’t have kids, it’s hardly worse than a regular serious relationship breakup. I think 25-27 is the ideal age for both men and women but younger can also work if they’ve been together awhile and are decently stable. |
| 28 for women, 34 for men. Then you get a couple of years of child-free marriage, and have 2-3 kids between ages 30-37. |
| No judgement per the OP. Don’t want to have to start reporting posts. |
Go tell your mommy. |
So a 19 year old should get married if dating since 15? |
Don’t make up nonsensical counter arguments. This comment was about they couple meeting at 20 and getting married at 24, which is a legal age and most people have a degree and a job by then. |
Apparently only those with a degree and a job can get married. Also apparently, 19 is not legal age. |

28 to 30. You e had the to go to school or get some training and start a career. You have hopefully lived on your own outside of your parents house and mommy and daddy doing everything for you.
You have some idea of how to manage finances s household etc. You likely have some dating/ relationship experience so you know what you can and cannot tolerate in a mate. You also likely have a core value system that you can see if a potential mate is compatible with. Young enough so you don't feel pressured to have kids right away. You likely can wait 2 years if you want, but not too young that you're likely to regret it. |
You'll probably be two ages in 2022. Or, if you get pedantic, every day will be a day older, so a different age. |
Not in Mississippi. |
| It’s 18 in most states but 19-21 in others. |

It’s so individual. Personally, I am happy that I waited until I was older (mid 30s). We were both really established. No stress about finances or assets. I had dated so much and I wasn’t “missing” anything that people who got married younger have expressed to me (need to sow the wild oats, etc).
There are pluses and minuses either way. |
One poster said 24 was legal when someone suggest 19. |
| Financial stability plays a major factor in marriage barring any psychological or mental issues. So I’d say if you have that plus cognitive maturity (brain frontal lobe full maturity), I’d say go for it. Science says frontal lobe development occurs mid twenties. |
