At What Age Should We Marry?

The Bible does not indicate that there is a specific age at which it suddenly becomes appropriate for us to marry.

image Just as everyone matures at a different rate, determining the best time for marriage will vary according to each individual.

Some important things to consider before marriage include whether one's education is complete and whether one has job skills or a career to support a family, and whether one is sufficiently mature to handle the responsibilities that come with marriage.

Factors including one's overall maturity, culture, education and employment must all be considered. Young people today are generally in their mid-20s before they are ready for marriage.
