Default best age to settle down

One of my friends ask me, when is the best or ideal age to settle down? Anybody who have an idea? Well, they say 25-28 years old is the best time.

I don't think so, if there is an exact age to settle down. For me, as long as you feel you are matured enough to face this situation would best time for this. What if you're already on that age and you still have no work, do you think you're ready for that? I think, this is also about financial and emotional settlement.

This is really an individual decision. I was married when I was 24. We both had jobs, we bought a house, we were ready to be on our own and mature enough to keep our finances in order.

Others wait until they have a career before they settle down~ maybe into their 30's.

I think the best age to settle down is 24 - 28, but with this age you should also make sure your financially well and mentally too, as without these two things may go wrong.

I perfectly agree with you, sim. For me, 24-28 years could is the ideal age to get married, assuming that you're already financially and emotionally stable. Do you think their is such thing as the perfect match? I mean, for the couple's age match?

Maybe you're right, guys. Financial and emotional stability is the first to consider when you'll settle down. Do you think it's just alright that the bride is older than her groom?

It depends on the bride and groom. For some it is ok,
for others it might not be acceptable.

I don't believe there is an actual age as a rule of thumb to settle down. It completely depends on your life experience, your character and what you want to do with the rest of your life. You are the master of your own decisions; thus, only you can know what age you would like to settle down.

I don't think there is a particular age to get settled, unless one is well matured to face all the tasks physically & mentally. The best age is between 25-28, if the age exceeds, they may have depression or child bearing problems.

Why is it that some women are looking for an older man than her. Do you think we have to consider that concept that man should be at least 2-3 years older than you?

Yes, we should consider that men should be atleast 3-4yrs older to us, it sounds funny to hear but it's the fact, we have to admit it, the reason for that is here, there will be age difference while they are matured 2-3yrs later than girls, suppose a girl matures physically at the age of 16yrs, boys maturity age is some 18yrs, to have proper understanding between a husband and a wife boy should be atleast 3-4yrs older, if we marry same age boy, boy will younger than girl in mind, and doesn't understand properly.

There are really some women who set standards for their partner. I have a friend who's like this. She don't like man younger than her. Do you think this this attitude of a woman can lead them to become spinster?

Some girls really tend to set standards for boys, example to marry a man 3-4yrs older than her, is already an standard. Haven't you not feel that you even look for the best man for you that will bring to the altar?

I prefer that kind of age gap between boys. I had a hard time dating boys who's age are the same as me or just 2yrs above my age. They act like babies they feel more like a princess rather than being a prince. O.O Here boys usually gets matured at the age of 21.

Well, their are really women who set standards her partner. I have a friend who look on man's age particularly. For her, a man who's 2-3 years older from her is the best partner because they are more matured than her. Do you think that basis of maturity depends on one's age?

The best age to settle is 30 years old. I believe, when we reach that age, we are all financially stable. What do you prefer, you spend for your own wedding or let the parents do the job?

Do you think 30 years old to get married? Do you think its not too late for a woman at this age? I mean, could he still bear a child? Well, maybe yes, however, this could be difficult for her to get pregnant.

There is never too late. If she was destined to have a child, she would absolutely have one or many. Would you agree with me? You have to be stable with your life before you settle down.

To settle down, meaning to start a new family. Well, it would be nice to raise a family at the age of 24. The gap between the parents and children will not be that big. I'm just curious, would you still wait to be financially stable before you settle down? Others would still marry even if they have none.

Is there such a thing as the best age to settle down? I think it all depends on the person's maturity and also the person's wants and needs. Is she ready to make a commitment and take the responsibility? You can be 30 years old and still feels that you don't want to settle down. You can be 21 year old and yet ready to take the plunge.

Some people would let their parents pay the bills. As for me, I would prefer to spend my own money. If we are financially stable, why would we let our parents pay for it?

I would say when that person feels ready and willing, any age (with in reason) can be the right time

I dunno why, but I think 25 is a great age to settle down. But, really, I think everyone is different and it depends on your situation. That's a very good question though.

I think a lot of people settle down before they're ready. (Including me) I moved in w/ my bf after dating for 3 months... so ya.. I wouldn't recommend that for anyone. It can work, but it's extremely hard!!
