The Bible does not indicate that there is a specific age at which it suddenly
becomes appropriate for us to marry. Just as everyone matures at a different
rate, determining the best time for marriage will vary according to each individual.
Some important things to consider before marriage include whether one's education
is complete and whether one has job skills or a career to support a family,
and whether one is sufficiently mature to handle the responsibilities
that come with marriage.
Factors including one's overall maturity, culture, education and employment
must all be considered. Young people today are generally in their mid-20s
before they are ready for marriage.
