whenever you feel like you are truly ready to get married to someone you love as long as you’re over twenty is my opinion.

I’d say mid- to late-twenties. By that time you’ve been on your own, you know pretty much how the world works, and you’re young enough–but not too old–to have kids.

30 feels a bit old. I want to have at least one kid before 30, for safety’s sake as having children is far more risky at 30 +

Depends on how many kids you want to have. I want to have zero. So 35 - 40 for me.

Imagine it. I don’t want kids. I’m a strong individualist and children will rob me of whatever individuality I have. Plus, they just suck. And cost money.

I’m not even guaranteeing that I’ll get married in the first place.

I totally agree with you Vilen, kids are still a maybe for me, but I absolutely hate it when people tell me I’ll change my mind when I’m older or when I’m married. Maybe I won’t and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.

This.

It’s incredibly patronizing to tell others that they’ll change their minds when they grow up.

Exactly, I’m 23, have a degree and a job, and am in a long-term monogamous relationship- I think I’m already grown up. Being married with children doesn’t automatically qualify you as an adult. Having said that, I’m am getting excited about a wedding. The ‘appropriate’ age seems to vary so much. I think I’m going to go with: when I can afford the wedding, as the answer.

I think around 25 is a good age. You have had some time working and living on your own. You have had time to figure out who you are outside of your family. I think it is a good age to get married and then wait a year or two before having kids.
