. There are a lot of cultures ,and in each one of them people getting married at deferent age .Every women and man in this world are deferent . So when it comes to ask a simple question -“What is the best age to get married? “- I have a simple answer - “There is no one! “There are a lot of reasons why we should not look at age factor when it comes to marriage .First - we all getting mature at deferent age. A lot of us more responsible at yang age. We are taking different aspects of life more seriously, and not looking for easy way to get the gob done .In that case we are getting in serious relationship as early as ages 18, no meter if you are a male or female. On the other hand - some of us feel that we are not ready to start live independently. We are really unsure in our self, and keep depending on our parent to guide us in our mature life .At this point is the best way just to take you relationship with your loved one slow, and not to rush anything. But at the end, we all loosing our had when we are in love, and often forgetting to think about rest of the world.

I think the best age for a person to get married is 26 through about 32 for a man or woman.That's just the way I feel based on what's going on in the world as it is today.Of course, I could say, "It's when you find the right person."Well, that's not always the case. Many times people do find an incredible person but they don't wish to have the responsibility of taking the next step towards marriage.

I don’t know about the age, but I think when person is ready to start a new life as a wife or husband he/she is ready for marriage. In my country people get married around 25years. In my country the wedding is made pay parents. The bride wears a white wedding dress the groom wears a costume. Usually groom comes to pick up the bride from her parent’s house then they go to ceremony of civil office. Then all guests come to the restaurant they dance eat drink and have fun. The gift usually is money or kitchen appliances. I believe that a smaller wedding is better because it costs less and less head ache and everybody are happy.

In my opinion, twenty-five is the best age to get married for both men and women. People that age are more serious and responsible. They are ready to raise their children in that age. Usually, when people are twenty-five years old, they have financial independence from their parents and can support their own family. It is very important to start a marriage without any debts.

In my opinion the best age for a man to get married is 22-25, because in these ages people are more mature then when they are younger. For the girl the best age to get married is when she is from 20 to 22. These kind of questions u can not answer because i think that what ever age is man or women is ready to be a husband or wife then its time to get married. For example my daughter got married when she was 18 and her husband was 21. I didn't told her that she is too young because i think she was ready for marriage. In my country wedding is interesting. Who wants to participate in something need to sigh up and when is his or her turn she will participate. At every wedding we have band singing, then we have a main guy who is organize everything. Usually guests give to bride and groom money but closer people, like relatives give them expensive gifts. I believe in big expensive weddings because i was on few of those and my friends had everything good because they paid a lot of money.

This is such a subjective question. I think that 18 are way too young to marry. The average 18-year-old has not experienced too much of life to know what his/her potential is, on any level. Also, what appeals to you at 18 might be laughable 10 years later. People are still growing and finding themselves at 18 and in my opinion, are not mature enough to take on the responsibilities of marriage. I hesitate to give an exact age, but I would say that the late 20s would be ideal.

Many different cultures have different ages for men or women to get married. Some people don’t get married, they just live with the person they like or love. The wedding traditions in my country are very different. We have three steps before the wedding. The best wedding I’ve been to is my aunt’s wedding, it was the best wedding. The second wedding is my uncles wedding, it was a great wedding. In both of the weddings each member of the family was dancing and having a fun day. People gave furniture, gold, clothes, and money as gifts for the bride and the groom. In my point of view I believe people should have any kind of ceremony. Some people don’t have the abilities to pay much money for the ceremony. Some people have enough abilities to pay so much money for their ceremony.

I was born and lived in Ukraine. When I was growing up, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. According to the laws of the Soviet Union, girls were able to get married at 17, and boys at 18. Now Ukraine is an independent country and has its' own laws. Girls and guys can get married and create a family at 18. Many young people get married at this age. After high school, they can still go to college or the university while being married. Their parents help them with raising their kids and also financially. But still, I think it's better to get an education and have a career, work, money and then a family. A person is older and wiser and more responsible. When there is a strong foundation, there are less problems. A strong family equals a strong country. I want to tell you about the best wedding I have been to in my life. This was the wedding of my son. He fell in love and got married. Their names are Tolik and Vita. It was a beautiful wedding and a very big celebration for our family and relatives. The ceremony was at our church and it was beautifully decorated. There was a lot of people at the wedding. Afterwards, there was a big reception. There was a lot of good food, good music and lots of joy. Everybody wished the newlyweds lots of love and happiness and kids.

I think it can depend from culture of people or their life social conditions. And people individual features have some meaning too. Everybody choose something that is close to him. I think it is very good to get married earlier, but you should have children in that time, when you will be able to provide of necessity of life. If you are married, you won't look for other and won't be able to get some disease, everyone will discipline each other and help. This is possibility to gain more money before you decide to have a child. In my country we don't have special wedding traditions. Everybody lives as he can. My best wedding was my. There were so much food there and satisfactions. All was organized very good. I remember as my grandfather said congratulation to me. Many people usually give money to the both. There aren't special gifts for a bride or groom. I believe in any wedding because future life don't depend from wedding ceremony. I would be better not to spend a lot of money and give them to young people who gets married.

I thought of teenage about different culture and ceremony wedding. I went to ceremony wedding with my parents. I saw parent’s got expensive wedding, they began to live with love, but after two or more years bride and groom couldn’t live to gather, because they were both very young and even bride was very younger than groom. They both came from different families with different mind, so they sometimes had problems to gather. I always asked my self what is the best age for married and what kind of wedding ceremony is better? I think the best age for man and woman is different and depends on the family that you grow up in, or the age. The age is different fair each people, but the most people believe that between 24-28 is the best age to get married. In my culture after both family became familiar to each other, groom’s parents bring a gold ring for bride. After that groom, bride and their parents sing special paper for engage. After 95 days we had to get married. The day before wedding we get a big party and it called “Hanna bandan”. It’s very beautiful and special ceremony and we give the bride and groom prayer book as a gift. Next day of Hanna bandan we got espousal celebration .we read prayer and sign marriage certificate .After that we go to ceremony wedding. The day after wedding we have a big party too. All the gusts bring gift for groom & bride that they need. The wedding ceremony depends on thought or how much money they have, but I think the best things for groom & bride is to have a good life with love till ever.

There is no ideal age for wedding. Perhaps, between 25 and 30 years for men and 20 to 25 years for women. Age isn’t the most important. It’s important to be love. At any age. Of course, you don’t have to wait up to 50 years. In Romania, the wedding starts first at the civil authority. Then, go to church for religious ceremony. From the church people go to the restaurant for the wedding party. I think weddings are pretty much the same everywhere. Participants sing, dance, eat, and drink. Everyone is happy. At the end of the party, in the morning, participants give gifts to the bride and groom. The gifts are actually money. At a wedding, the bride and groom get about 4 times as many than they spent. The most beautiful wedding I attended was ... of course, my wedding. It was a wedding like in the stories. The wedding was organized by my parents in their backyard. A very large yard. There were over 150 families. It was crazy. In the morning after the guests have gone, was that after the war. But it was nice. I got so much money, that I could buy a house and a car. All brand new. Then I went with my wife on our honeymoon. There was actually only 10 days, in the most expensive alpine resort in Romania. As you realize, I love more the big weddings. The joy of wedding is well to be shared with more people.

My personal view is that women should wait till 25 and men till 30. Thirty three is probably a little too old especially if you are looking to start a family but the older and more. The couple is the better chance that it will last. I would say that somewhere between 25-30 is the optimum age for marriage. In my country, you have to get married in a church and registry office. The wedding ceremony is one of the happiest and traditional occasions for family gatherings,when relatives from all over the country and world come together and celebrate this important day with you. I also love what bakers can do with flavors in wedding cakes. I love traditional wedding cake. It was a beautiful wedding and a very big celebration for my family and relatives.

It's hard to give a "best" age for marriage. It differs for every person, on an individual basis. When you feel ready, it's probably the "best" time for you. I think it would be nice to get married in my early twenties as opposed to my thirties, but that is an individual preference. The reasons for me are, one, having a family is very important to me. Two, I believe one of the reasons why some statistics show that younger aged marriage is more successful is because the older you are, the more developed and solid you become in your ideas. When you get married young, instead of developing as a half, you develop as a whole with your partner. Sometimes, older people are just too used to life as it is on their own and they can be lest able to readjust and mold to different ways. In other words, I think it is good to "grow up" together with your spouse.

I think that the best age for women to get married is between25 and 30 years. And for men, it’s from28 to 35 years. Our younger weddings were big where every relative and friend come. Ii remember my relatives wedding about 500 to 800 people were there, in a big tent across the street. The best wedding I attended was my wedding. It was very hot, and we were riding in a carriage , with a horse. When we were driving to our feast, cars were honking, people were waving, and our chariot was carriage with flowers! It was the prettiest and happiest wedding.

Many years ago was very different ceremony wedding than now.Many cultures and it is mean different ceremony and age of wedding.In my native country mostly people get married man around 21 and older and women 18 and older.I think that this is good time to get married.However i cant say just like that,because everything depends from their own life and culture.I get married when i was 20 years old and my husband 21 years old.My best wedding this is my own wedding.We did not have any special traditions,we went to church,our parents and people from church did pray for us.After,all guests,friends and relatives,who was invited on our wedding go into big hall.In this hall very nice,many tables,on tables beautiful flowers and so much yami food,everything organized very good.Next few hours everybody are relaxing,eating and happy.Some people made funny show,we did have music group and some people sang song,it was very interesting time.I do not think that future life depends from ceremony and traditions.I would be better not to spend a lot of money for wedding day,i think,after wedding people can spend money on their own life,together.

I think that the best age to get ,arried is 25 because people have finsished college and have a few years of work expiernce and also a possible 5 or 6 years of romantic relationships.And by then they understand the reponsibilty. All marriages are the same to me, good food , good music and good alcohol and they are fun. Everybody is well dressed. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters and i was never around for there marriages because i was in America.In a marriage the grooms mom brings them to the alter in the church and the brides father does the same.The groom in black and the bride in white, i only saw the groom in white on one ocasion and i wore black in both of nmy marriages. First we dance the balz, the bride tosses the bouquie and at the end the family throws rice at the nerwly weds as symbol of good luck.

I think that people should not rush to get married. Who plans some future for himself can not realize their plans. He will probably blame himself that he got married so earlier. I consider that people have to make some career, gain some money, have some stability and after they can get married because they stand hard on their legs. It would be better for both people who wants get married, but I think husband have to be ready to get married more than his future wife because he usually has more responsibility. There are several wedding traditions in my country. For example when future husband comes he carries a towel, there is a big bread there with salt. Very often he have to pay for his future wife some money, but it is formal money. It is not expensive. It is fore some amusement. After wedding ceremony at the church, people throw some wheat above a bride or they throw some money above bride head. When the bride goes out from the church she throws a lot of candy for children which are waiting that so much. Usually guests give money for bride and groom. But sometime it can be some gifts. It is not important what kind of ceremony can be. More important subjects is that-what will be after wedding with people which have gotten married.

In my opinion the good age for marriage is after 20.But what is the best age.It depends on the person.People should feel that they enough mature and responsible to be married.Both should got some education and have profession.And of course they should feel they can commit to another person for the rest of they marriage life.And the most important they shouldn't even think about marriage until they really ready to commit to each others they deeply love.In my country Russia just maybe 25 or 20 years before women got married about 18 or 19 years old.When girl was 20 and not married the people tell about she is old bride.But right now women in Russia get married when they feel enough to be wife.Russian brides and grooms celebrate their wedding day very romantic and have some traditions.Before the wedding groom should take his bride from her parent's home.When he comes to pick up his bride,the groom maybe handed a napkin with lipstick prints of the bride and her attendants on it.If he can't pick out his bride's kiss,he must pay a tribute.Grooms who guess wrong nay have to cover a shawl with rubles.After bride and groom exit the civil marriage registration office,they taking pictures and going to visit some places around the city that have special meaning for citizens.There are a big wedding cortege that has about fifteen or twenty cars with guest and groom with bride sit in the first.After that ceremony everybody going to the restaurant or house where they have a big wedding dinner with traditional Russian food.In the beginning the new married couple dancing their first wedding dance.And then their friends and relatives give them gifts and their graters.

I think the best age for a man or a woman to marry is between 25 to 28 years of age. In my opinion it is an age when we are more mature and we know what we want. Although there are also people who are not mature enough at that age and therefore a cause for divorce, but there are also young people under 25 years of age who are a very mature young and you know what you want in their lives. There is much disappointment in all this, but I do know that in making this decision to marry the couple has to know the seriousness it is a marriage, responsible, communication, respect and provide the best for the children to be a marriage of all life.

I think that people can get married in that time where they want to do it or when they would love each other. Nobody can forbid anyone to get married in that time when young people want to do it. But there is important subject for that, this is money. If people who wants to get married doesn't have enough money for ceremony or for future life or The person doesn't have some normal job, that person can't get married. I think only not responsible people can make a decision to get married and live for money some one else. In my country a groom must pay a lot of money for his future wife. He must show that he can feed his future wife and his future children. A bride must not learn another man before his groom, so he should know what he pay for. I think ceremony must be big because this is one time for all life.

For every country there is a specific rules and conditions to get married , each one is different than the other , but all of them have the same end which is getting together and connecting with each other and thats how life goes ; but the conditions that the person live could help help him to get married or not because getting married its not that easy thing to do , you going to have a lot responsibilities .

I think the best age for a man or a woman to get married is when she or he is independent of parents , when a person can manage his or her life with love , think and a good job .Ofcours every people need together and need to their parents while all their life , we maby make a new family but we can not forget our parents and our last family . Even some times we are helping to our parents and this is a good roul for all peopel . I think good age for a man or woman to get married is different in many countries , cultures and religions , for exampie the muslim people thought that a girl can get married when she is just 9 years old or a boy can get married when he is just 13 years old , ofcours this culture is changing in the more muslem people but some muslim people still think that are good ages .At the last , some men and women could not decide for their life and their parents decided for them about their married , but now when more people around world can go to school and can more study about better life , the age for them to get married to become over of 9 and 13.Now people usually get to married when they are more than 25 or 30 years and maby more of than.

Many people with different culture have different opinions of getting married with a big age difference. Back in the days, it was normal for old men to get married with younger women. For me, the age doesn’t matter. Because if you have feelings for that person, you won’t care about the age. The feelings are very important in people’s life. You always have to follow your heart that you have the feeling for that person, you should listen to it.Different people, different cultures, but everyone will agree that the age won’t matter because to love all ages are submissive.

I cannot say what the best age is for man or woman to get married. We can never predict it. Every person is individual. What is good for one is not good for another one. On the one hand, early marriages at 20-25s are good because it easier to have children. When they grow up, it is good when children are adult and their parents are still young. On the other hand, late marriages after 30s are good because people can get education and start working. But there can be some problems to have children. I remember my sister’s wedding. It was the best wedding I have been ever. There were a lot of guests about 100 people. There were so much food and drinks. There were many jokes and wishes to the bride and the groom. I was in attention to as a bride’s brother. There were many gifts. The most important is that my sister and her husband have lived happy life for 16 years.
