So my 23 year old mate (guy) is getting married at end of year.

What you guys think is a good age for both genders. And does it largely rely on financial stability (guys).

This was the plan...for me anyway.
Always figured I'll get married when I'm 28 and done studying with a half-decent job.

Got married at 26... she was 25.

I think finances obviously play a big part, especially if you don't rely on "daddy's money", but if you wait until you earn "enough" money to get married, like with having kids, you'll probably wait forever.

White male.
I think before the age of say late twenties you haven’t figured out who you are, and maybe need to travel and party some more.
Especially if both of you are young chances are you can grow apart more easily.

Note this is my experience and people and circumstances differ.
 
I reckon closer to 30 as well. That gives me a couple more years to spend my money on...me :p

Unless of course the right girl comes along. Then all of what I just said doesn't mean anything.

That is pretty spot on based on people I know who got married at about that age then got divorced in their mid to late 30's because they just had grown apart.

Yes!

And even if you have been with a person for years without getting married, isn’t it just getting paperwork done?
Getting married doesn’t mean it’s going to last or even that you truly love that person even though you think you do.
 
Depends on the individual and how emotional mature they are as a couple.

I got married at 22 and I was too young, got re-married at 32 and that age was right for me. I also have an uncle & aunt who go married when they where 15 (they had to get special permission and no, my aunt was not pregnant) - they are still happily married and never regret marrying young.
 
40.

There seem to be tons of kids in their early 20's getting married these days (judging by all the fools prancing around at robots in womens underwear ).

I have no doubt they'll be doing their bit to drive the divorce rate well over 50% in due course. 25 is the new 18. There's no way most of these people know what they're getting into.

In seriousness - if you feel you really have to get married, I'd say late 20's to early 30's is as good a time as any.

You, sir, win this thread. I see many people who are still bloody kids when they get married. I don't understand this need they have...
 
Don't leave it too late... You don't want to be too old after the divorce to hook up with wife No 2 or 3. ;)
 
I always figured early 30's. My parents were married at 33 but for my dad it was his second marriage. Had one that only lasted about a year before that. I met my now wife when I was 19, just got married now at 27. Hoping for the best...
 
I'd personally think approaching 30, but then again, I know people in their very early twenties who are clearly happy, so as usual, it depends on the people involved.

Same here, Met my wife when I was 19, she was 16. We became best friends, and only started "Dating romantically" when I was about 24 (I was engaged to someone else for about a year when I was 22). We got married when I was 28. First & only kid at the moment when I was almost 31. I'm 36 now.
