At What Age Did You Know You Were Ready For Marriage?

I'm about to turn 75 and I'm still not ready. I've never understood why anyone would get married. Why would you want the government's approval and permission to share your life with someone? And it's probably only going to last a couple years. I remember being very young and looking at my parents and thinking if that's what it's like to be married I never want to do it. And I haven't.

I wasn't sure I was ready, but I loved her deeply and had been dating her almost 8 years. I couldn't wait any longer. Together, we learned how to be successfully married.

I was actually ready for marriage a long time ago when I got into my first and only legal attachment the problem was other people around me never have been truly ready or never the right fit but my biggest dream in life has always been to have a loving caring and committed wife and a family

When I was in relationship I thought I could handle anything in my life .
Would you believe it or not after the break up and going through si much pain on my own I can handle a lot more cause all now I have to deal with now is myself

It all happened at the right time.
Met him at 28. Married at 32. Baby at 33.

I think, for me, it would be better to be financially stable now and be married before turning 30-ish but that's just me, not everyone wants to get married early.

to me, being ready to date is the same as being ready for marriage

.............I've never really understood the concept of dating without the intention of marriage

(I don't date often .......ever, lol)

In my mind, I was ready at 16.
But definitely not ready mentally, financially, or emotionally.

I was 30 .. and my kids aside .. I still cocked it up in terms of who I married

The experience has convinced me the institution it is likely not for me.

It really wasnt or hasnt been a feeling like if im ready but if i was serious about who it was with.

28 currently

I don't know if "realized" is the right word. It's easier to say when it was decided, and only time will tell how realistic that decision was

I got married at 21, i was extremely immature and probably 100% bratty

I should never have married 😬

Never and never again.

Thinking of getting married ? 🧐

Obviously i wasnt ready. Ive had 2 failed miserable marriages.
