What’s the Best Age for a Man to Get Married?

By Abigail Philip David

Marriage is a significant milestone in life, and in many cultures, especially in Africa, the pressure to settle down increases once a man reaches adulthood. But the big question remains—when is the best time to get married?

There’s no universal answer to this, as the ideal age depends on personal circumstances, experiences, and perspectives. However, most discussions around this topic focus on two key age ranges: the 20s and the 30s.

To help you decide what works best for you, let’s explore the benefits of getting married at different ages.

Why Marry in Your 20s?

Getting married in your 20s comes with several advantages:

  1. Less Emotional Baggage – You enter marriage with fewer past relationship experiences, making it easier to build a strong bond with your partner.
  2. More Energy for Parenting – Raising kids in your 20s means you’ll have the physical stamina to handle their demands.
  3. More Freedom in Your 30s – While others are just starting families, you’ll have more time for personal growth and career advancement.
  4. Motivation for Career Growth – Marriage can push you to work harder and become more financially responsible.
  5. Stronger Emotional Connection – As young partners, you can grow and navigate life’s challenges together.

Why Marry in Your 30s?

Waiting until your 30s to get married also has its perks:

  1. Emotional Maturity – You’re more likely to make better decisions about choosing a life partner.
  2. Time for Personal Growth – You’ve had the chance to enjoy life, travel, and develop yourself before settling down.
  3. Better Parenting Skills – With more life experience, you’re better equipped to raise and nurture children.
  4. Financial Stability – By your 30s, you’ve likely built a more stable career and can support a family comfortably.
  5. Stronger Communication Skills – You’ve learned how to handle conflicts maturely, which helps in marriage.

So, What’s the Best Age to Get Married?

Since both age ranges offer distinct benefits, a balanced approach is to aim for marriage between 28 and 33.

At this stage, you can still enjoy the energy and enthusiasm of your 20s while also benefiting from the maturity and stability of your 30s. Ultimately, the best time to get married is when you’re emotionally, financially, and mentally ready to build a lifelong partnership.
