Ryo, I think a good family should be a democratic one. I mean the children should be given responsibility of their life if they’d been considered as a mature person.
I’m not so sure about the exact age to be qualified for a “maturity” marriage, but I think the on-going-married person should have unselfish mental and financial maturity to have kids as a result of marriage.

Ryo, my name is michael and you can call me mike. But you can also call me mick if you like to, but I hope it’s sm short of adoring call for me. =)
yeah I deadly agree with you if only the parent also have taught their children with morale standard, so that they know to distinguish what’s right and wrong.

All of us are the children of our parents. And for them I think we’d still a child even if we’ve already had a wife or maybe a child.=)
Since my definition of maturity always connected to a marriage as a maturity’s must have stuff so they (people who are not children anymore) should have 17 years of age or more. Because I think normally a male sex organ would have been mature at that age so he have the capacity and opportunity to have children from his wife. The same thing goes to women.

ye  i gonna to say that a farther and mother is infected more on the children's maturity development , after a mather given a birth , except the nature of get hungry and basic physical reflex , most time children regard as being  influnced and teached what is this or where is this place and how to do this thing ,it is a process of understanding and comanding , instead of the term of growing  up, we can say it is a kind necessary way to become mature , but it can not definitely believe during this time everything he   have experienced so it can go into mature , it is depend on  how to deal with and what  has done while he is bothered or catched more headache thing , maybe after this we can say he become more matural ,
