My personal belief on the best age to get married is lower 30s. Why do I think this? I believe that it takes time for a person to figure out what they want in life after they get into adulthood. That includes education, established career, small nest egg, and seeing the world. I firmly believe that it is important to experience those things in your life while you are single so that you don't have regrets later on in life when it is too late.

I am pro-marriage and am married myself but I got married in my 30s as did my husband and I felt it was the best age. There is nothing worse than feeling regret that you didn't pursue a dream. Ditto for having kids. When you have kids it is difficult to just pick up and go somewhere or do something or take long periods of time for yourself.

This doesn't mean you should give up your significant other but it does mean that you need to think long and hard about what you want to accomplish in life and how important those things are to you. When you get married it will change the family dynamic and you don't want to live with any regrets that could lead to divorce. Get out and explore the world and yourself.

Great advice Terrymill. I got married in my mid-thirties and yet I felt I should have waited till I was probably forty. When the kids start to arrive...you're actually TIED-DOWN.....phew!!! Great hub.

I've alway heard your thirties are the best age as well... that way you have plenty of time to establish yourself in your career or schooling and you can have a better idea of what you want in life.

I think it depends on the person. I'm 27, but I am not exactly ready to run to the altar yet. I want to travel, get my career established and explore more. I think early thirties is perfect time for most people. Everyone should wait until they are "ready" do not go with what the norm is at the moment.
