I think 23. If your going to college: and you need your degree. 23 is a perfect age ^^

for me i think when you are happy in life, when you stop thinking that getting married is what will make you happy, true happiness is not exactly about finding the love of your life...its about how we look at our life especially our present life to enjoy what we have without anxious dependence upon the future...but i voted for the purple bar.. :D

I don't like the thought that God does everything and His children would just sit there and do nothing about their life !
Come on ! It's life and we have to move ! To search ! To fight ! To learn ! Not sitting there and thinking, oh I do nothing but God will provide, NO, God is not the God of inaction and passive people, God is the God of action and active people !

The best age to get married is when Heaven's providence (chance is a myth) meet wisdom and action !

There is no perfect age.
People are not perfect.
The world they live in is majorly screwed up.
There is no seminal age.
B.T.W. - If you think you need to be married by a certain age chances are you will enter into a lifelong commitment with the nearest prospect at that prearranged time.

How about this: WHAT IS THE PERFECT AGE TO BE BORN??????? - Hugh? .......... What?

I think it really depends on the individual. Some people are very mature in their 20's while others may not be. I got married at 26. I also think you should consider other factors as well such as your fianancial situation that comes with maintaining a home and caring for a family.

As a Christian, age should basically not be the primary determinant when getting married. God comes first, then maturity (not age), spiritual and financial stability follows suit.

What I just do not understand is how so many people get married at such a young age and for all the wrong reasons end up falling out of what they thought was love and then as a true christian cannot get remarried or are commiting adultery. I also don't understand why, in America, we can only marry one woman when the bible never states that ?

Arranged marriages might have less problems but who want to marry someone they didn't choose themselves, hopefully they are someone they would have married anyway.

When you reach the age where you think: "Hmm... marriage seems like a TON more work than I thought. The major changes that would happen might shake my life up a little too much.... eek, I'm scareeeed to get married...0.o" when you first have this thought, you are probably old enough. :p

Most people already think that way. And still have no clue. I thought that way since i was a kid, yet realized only a few years ago how little i had understood marriage most of my life. Now i think i have a better grasp on it. But look how long it took me.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again. You are a smart and mature young lady. One you are able to sort through your problems (which have nothing to do with age or maturity) then i'm sure you'll feel differently.
