Age at marriage

[Praamžius]

As male fertility starts to slowly decrease after age of 30 so something between 25 and 30 seems perfect , thought i wouldn't marry till i have my own home and stable job.

I don't want to marry. But If I'm going to live separately with someone, first I have to find a stable job for decent enough salary, so not to rely on parents. Parents like mine should be kept away, because they usually destroy all the world around you.
There is no proper age for marriage, however proper partners and mental maturity.

Marriage is an oppressive social construct, a vile remnant of the socio-religious patriarchy that kept women in bondage, the unsexy type of bondage, for millennia. Which is why I prefer welfare-dependent single-parenthood, that is less likely to corrupt future generations with the false conceptions of our socially and sexually repressed patriarchal past.

I don't think a man should marry until he has made a name for himself in the world or can at least offer some financial stability towards maintaining a family.
Nothing screws a relationship up quicker than being broke all of the time.

I would hope, for my daughter, that she marries a man who has already achieved enough financial success to support a family. My daughter may not wish to be a Hausfrau like my wife, but I think that it is the duty of a husband to afford his wife that option. Also, I would rather see her married earlier than later (to a husband who is a bit older—teenage boys are ruh-tards), for biological reasons. We all know that the likelyhood of birth defects being present compounds with the age of the mother, and we know that girls mature (both physically and psychologically) at an earlier age than boys. So, to achieve some relative balance of maturity levels, financial security and biological safety the best match is probably the traditional one: slightly older hubby + yougish wifey.

well i have one of those criteria covered for sure ..... seriously i will be in this village very soon.

yeah for 4 weeks and then you'll be off chasing oil with the rest of 'em in Alberta lol!!!

[RoyBatty]

your right, my biggest goal is to be succesful and to have the money i need first

This can be a trap so be careful with that line of reasoning. Those "goals" easily morph into excuses to put plans on hold. The problem is that time doesn't stand still even though it seems so at the time. Next thing you wake up, it's 5 years later.

Sometimes (not always) it's better to just get one's head down and get on with things instead of trying to over think, over plan and over analyse them.

Of course, it goes without saying that I support gay marriage.

Legal at 14, naturally.
