I believe marriage comes in God's time, not ours, of course so I would LIKE to be in my 30's before I get married but if He brings someone into my life that permits me to get married sooner then I will do that.

It is best for everyone if people marry as early as reasonably possible. By that I mean capable of earning a reasonable salary. Demographic replacement rates are a big deal, but you don't want children having babies.
Nothing is "best for everyone". Have you met everyone? lol

Essentially, he's saying what would be best for society at large, and referring to the structures from such disciplines as sociology, physiology, psychology, and others I'm sure.

It's more the 'royal we' or 'political tact' when one says 'everyone', because they're trying to use inclusive language. No one can do what's best for everyone (except Christ), so we measure by majorities and probabilities.

If this plan is good for 80% and bad for 20% vs every other plan at lesser amounts (buy and large), then we should choose it. There are many sub-philosophies to this, but we each use our judgement, reason, logic, and resources to the best of our abilities.

I think if the relationship you have for that significant other is glorifying Christ and of course if the maturity is there, GO FOR IT! With your faith in Jesus everything that happens will be alright and for his glory.

i think, based on our culture and my experience, nowadays most people get marry 28 to 35 y/o...maybe because of the bad economic status...in our country it's hard to find a decent stable jobs , at the age of 25 most ordinary singles have no house of their own and receiving minimum salary...everything is expensive in our country, from foods, clothes, apartments/house,water,electricity education etc. so you really need to think twice, the more we earn the more taxes will be deducted (thats why i prefer to work here in saudi arabia)...another is the tradition, most filipino men and women, as long as we are singles we live with our parents because of our close family tie tradition, when our parents are old, it is automatic for us to take care of them...so most people tend to marry at older age because of that responsibility, this kind of set up doesn't mean that you still live with your parents even when you are married,some people prefer that way but some people prefer to live near the house of their parents...uhmmm what else? i also notice that there is a delayed maturity nowadays...i just noticed it...for example, when i was younger, my aunts,uncles were engaged and married at the age of 20 to 25 and they were mature enough to handle responsibilities...nowadays at the age of 25 most men and women are still immature ;-D
