For unmarried people - by what age would you like to be married?

[DC Al Fine]

22 (since I'm 21 and getting married next July)

More generally: I'm in favour of marriage as soon as you're able to support yourselves as a couple. That probably means 20-24 for most people who are serious about young marriage, although some girls at my church have married at a slightly younger age and it's worked out fine.

You don't plan anything like this; marriage happens when it happens (and unhappens when it needs to happen too) To think otherwise, or to try and plan it out is a bit strange.

I'm a bit mixed on this. Yes you are entirely right that we can't force marriage to happen, but there are also a lot of things one can do to create conditions favourable to marriage. The sort of people we date at 21 often aren't the same sort of people we date at 27.
