I married at 25 and look back and think that is fair too young. That was years ago and not realistic in this day and age. I think 35 to 38 is now the best time to marry for a guy and you must live with the girl on a full time basis before so that you know what she is really like. I regret not doing that because my ex wife turned out to be a real selfish batch who expected everything done for her just like her mother did. She also expected every day to be helicopter rides, lavish meals, flowers etc etc just like on the show The Batchelor"...married life is not like that. Married life is a constant compromise but mostly giving in to the women's nagging demands. Also practical things like the dream girl you married. ?.she drops really stinking dumps, picks her nose, farts etc etc...probably more than you do and you will see all this first hand.
