Just wondering. My parents got married when they were both 24. They got me 3 years later and my sister another 3 years later.
Best Age to get married?

Don't think there's a best age to get married.. it's whenever you feel is the right time. But I would not get married until I am past the age of 25. Anytime before that is too young, IMHO.
According the Gov't statistics I read the divorce rate is 80% under the age of 21, 50% between 21 and 25, and only 20% if you get married older than 25

That pretty much sums it up, huh? I also think that there is no age for getting married. You just get it done when you feel that you can make the committment.

whenever you have enough money while your wife is taking care of the kids at home
steady income should always come first if your planning on having kids soon

Getting married and producing kids is very important to my dad and his dad, because I carry on our family name in our little family tree. My dad's parents had like 3 sons, and those 3 sons had a combined 11 kids, but I was the only one produced as a boy! what are the odds 
Anyways, as u can imagine there's a ton of pressure from my parents and all that, but I dont want to until I have a solid income and have money saved in the bank. Whether that means i have to wait till i'm 25 or 35, it doesnt' matter to me. Besides, I have two older sisters who want kids and probably will get them, so my parents will get grandkids at the very least, if not a continuance of our family name

For me I would say the best age would be around 27 or so... I'm only 20 now but I really can't see myself getting married anytime soon. I just think it's too much of a commitment. I find it quite scary to tell you the truth.
I have to agree that older is better... I fit right in with those statistics.
My first marriage was when I was less than 21, and that was a complete disaster, ending in divorce. The Mister and I got married between the ages of 23-24, and it has been *very* difficult to make our marriage work. We have succeeded, but I can tell you right now that if I could do it all over again, I would have waited until I was closer to 30 and really understood what being married meant before I made such a big commitment.
That said, there are always exceptions to the rule! I am sure many people get married young and have no problem with it, but I think the majority of people hardly understand themselves let alone know how to relate to another when they are under 30.

What those statistics represent is divorce.
If there are no kids involved then divorce is not as big a deal, under the age of 21 you might make it 1 outa 5 does, BUT most don't.
Does that mean you shouldn't get married? What those numbers mean is if you are of those ages and are making life decisions you need to consider things like keeping children out of the equation or pre-nups etc. It means despite how you feel at the moment for whatever reason it is likely those feelings are going to change and something you should be aware of.

Money problems are the single largest contributor to divorce, its the catalyst to all the other stuff.
BTW Me 34 Wife 27 when we got married.

When you are emotionaly mature enough to handle a relationship based on trust and mutal respect.
If you get married because you wanna fvsk, or are lonely, or want to live off someone the marriage is doomed.
Wait until you are older, less horny (thinking with your brain and not your other bits), in control of your emotions (including anger) and have acheived a sufficient level of understanding of yourself and what you want in the world to recognize an acceptable lifetime mate.
