Quick Question its a random question

I always wanted to know what age is the right age to get married? Just a random question. Me and My boyfriend of 4 years almost (be 4 years in August of this Year) wanted to get married in 7 months but we decided to get married in 2010 when I'm 23 and he's 24. It's not that I don't want to marry him its because i do but I just want to know what age is to the right age to get married?

Happy New Year and congrats to you and your dear friend. I hope the scriptures below help in your decision on when to marry.

Much care sis,

Mitch

1Cr 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

1Cr 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

1Cr 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

1Cr 7:10 And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:

1Cr 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife.

It's America; where there is opinion, there is a bored protester with a blank sign and a sharpie waiting to act offended. It's YOUR wedding. Get married when you are comfortable with it.

To be a man / woman entails emotional, physical, psychological maturity. Not necessarily age. There are some 19 yrs that are more matured than 25yrs and so on. Some 30yrs old still call their mummy to tell them how to run their homes! so not all about age. So the question is, does the two of u feel ready- emotionally, financially, psychologically and otherwise? If you rush in before you are ready, you may eventually rush out. God bless and guide you in Jesus name

Typically people get married in there mid twenties now-days, but it used to be that people got married right out of high school. Times have changed... I recently got married on January 2nd of 2009 (see my photo) and I'm 24. I would have gotten married sooner though if my (now) husband and I could have done it, but we were busy with school and jobs (we've been together about 1 1/2 years in total).

Permalink Reply by Jessica Juracich on February 19, 2009 at 7:24pm: Jennifer, we can not tell you you should or should not get married at a certian age. I would encourage you and your boyfriend to speak to your local pastor about premarital counciling and get the book "Getting to Really Know Your Life-mate-to-be"

As far as the age question goes, You and your boyfriend are really the only ones who can make that judgement call. Do ask close friends and people you trust who know you a lot better than a chat room of strangers.

God Bless!

Look you are both adults anywhere in the world no matter how you look at it. Does he have a job?? Can he be the head of a home?? Or should i say is he ready to be the head of a home. If he is then you should ask yourself am i ready?? Please if you love each other just get married and stop wasting time!!
