Those pesky cougars!
Or are they lynxes. I don't know
@tourist are you 70 years young? Or 71. Is being in your 60s a good age to be married? Cos I wonder If I should wait that long. What's the age gap between you and Jesuslives?
My wife and I are both 71. She is 17 days older than me. We got married at the age of 59. She is my 3rd wife.
I was 23 when I first got married. I made a horrible choice. 6 1/2 years of physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. Cheating on me too.

I was single and celibate to the next 18 years before getting married to my 2nd wife at the age of 47.
The thing is, that was a lonely marriage as the last couple years I was not able to have a coherent conversation with her due to her pain and her medications. I was her caregiver besides holding down a full-time job.
Eventually, I was unable to provide the type of care that she needs, and she had to go into a nursing home. Before she went into the nursing home, she slept in a medical bed in our apartment. while I slept on a couch in the same room, which was the living room. I rarely slept more than 2 hours at a time.
All of this happen during my 8 years living in Maine so that she could be close to her family. My family was in Florida. I was totally isolated, physically drained, and depressed.
There will not be a 4th marriage.
As to your question, any age is a good age to get married as long as there is love, and the means to support a household. It is best to have a God-centered marriage.
I am not sure how old you are but if the right guy comes along you might want to give that guy a chance to develop a relationship with you. Why waste precious years pondering whether or not you one day might want to get married?
The truth is - I had love in my heart to share with someone and who had love in her heart to share with me. I have spent years being single and living for just myself. Those were not very fulfilling years. Basically, work, eat, and sleep. Each day. Endless cycle. Lonely years too.
JesusLives is an awesome wife.
