I heard somone say that people should get married before they clock 30 years of age. Is it a guarantee that one must get married at a certain specific age? Does God say anything about marriage at a specific age? Just wondeing....,

No, there is no specific age in which one should get married. And God doesn't says anywhere in the bible that one must be a specific age when marrying.

Sure for women that wishes to having children, then it would be clever marrying not too late, as when they stop having that typical period that makes women remain still fruitful. Except of this, one can marry at whatever age. :)

Age doesn't have to do with being ready to get married. It's about being able to meet all the requirements necesary to make a marriage work. You need to have the maturity, the sentimental availability, a steady job, etc etc. For some people that age could be 26, for others 67.

wow...There's so many variables nowadays. Within our current economy its either: (1) a persons working too much, or (2) not at all. Lack of time and/or communication can, and does place a strain on a relationship. I know that some might disagree but money does place a financial burden on a marriage. For a man, a good time for marriage is when he is ready to be: Priest, Protector, and Provider for his household. A reason why many are waiting longer than previous generations to get married is because many are not as financially secure until later on in their life. Scripture does say however, ["if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion." 1 Cor. 7:9] This doesn't mean that marriage should be pursued recklessly, but marriage does restrain/curb lustful outbreaks. Unfortunately, many relationships don't work out, mine included, but I believe that as long as you select a partner THAT IS CHRISTIAN ALSO and you all remain faithful to the doctrines and tenants of Scripture, and don't let money determine the outcome of the marital bond you should be fine.

Thank you guys for all the wonderful responses! In my society, there's a lot of pressure imposed on young people to get married even when they are not ready. It's like as if marriage after 30 is unheard of. I just wish they understand that God's timing is always the best.

Hi :)

There's no time limit for marriage. However, time is a crucial factor if you desire it.

Desire - Do you want to be married? Do you want a spouse? Do you wish to start a family? Do you wish to grow old together with someone?

And if you desire it, then work towards it: pray for it, expect it, prepare for it and when it comes, grab it!:)
In the mean time, 'seek first the Kingdom of God, and all these will be added to you as well.'

Way to go Freddy01! As long as you love that person it's okay to marry her 'coz what matters is that you love each other & not the age difference. May the good Lord bless you on your new journey of marriage!
