Women mature faster than men...so it depends on how mature the man is, so they can work out complications.

Some women are ready at 18, some aren't ready at 40.

Three signs that you are ready for marriage.

1. You are in a relationship with a man who you love and respect and wish to share your life with...forever and ever and ever.

2. This same man wants to marry you.

3. YOU...not your mother...but YOU want to marry him.

I would ask mom if she's interested in you finding yourself, and the love of your life, or if she's interested in simply finding your future exhusband....just so you know how to proceed with your decisions....cuz if its part 2, you'll be movin in with her.
Good post...I never tried to push my sons to get married or have kids just to please me or make me happy...I think we all operate on our own "timetable."

There is no exact age...For now, accept that the exact age for you IS NOT 24!...Tell your mother when you find out the exact age to marry, she will be the third person to know, not the first....flowerforyou

If your mom is talking marriage you must have a boyfriend, may be it is time for you to find out how interested he is in marriage, can't be dating forever.

Why? Why do you feel a couple can't just date forever?

There is no certain age...If one feels it is not right then it is not right...I never pushed my kids to get married sure I wanted them too but wanted it to be what they wanted... My daughter just got married this last year at the age of 28. Where my son got married at 20 divorced shortly after.. He has not remarried but has a son by his g/f... They don't plan on getting married...

To many times parents push their kids in marrying and they end up rushing into a marriage that does not last or they are miserable...

The way I see it when you find that one you really want to be with you will know when it is right...bigsmile

I don’t think anyone is ever really ready for marriage but you have to decide when you want to take that next step.

I'm going to give you two sides to this. First, a man's view.

The only reason to get married is because you want to have children. And you don't want to marry someone too much over 30 because then you'd have to start having babies right away. So, men are generally going to prefer a younger woman.

And now a feminist's view.

You have to be very careful about it. I don't think anyone should consider marriage until they have reached to top of their chosen field. Before that any kind of relationship will be a distraction and should therefore be avoided.

How many women were on the road to success and gave it all up because they became pregnant?

You may ask your mom why she's in such a hurry for you to tie the knot.

It is understandable if there is a steady boyfriend on the scene for her mom to raise the marriage question, and may be if they want to date forever that's fine as well. Perhaps her mom is not as liberated as you are, not everyone is about daughters, and she would like to see a wedding on the horizon, just my opinion.
