The "right time" is not linked to any specific age, rather, to the Will of God and one's relationship with Him.
Put God first in your life, for God knows your needs and will provide accordingly out of His abundance.
I like to think of the story of Isaac and Rebekah. Abraham's servant was sent by Abraham to find a wife for Isaac as God would provide, so the servant went to Abraham's home land and upon arriving he asked God to show him the one He would have as a wife for Isaac. No sooner had he finished praying than Rebekah had come out to fill her pitcher with water and when the servant asked her to give him drink, she fulfilled the conditions set for identifying the woman for Isaac by giving him water and then drawing water for all his camels. Then it also turned out that she was of the family of Abraham, further giving proof of her being chosen by God.
After telling her family of his mission, she agreed to go with him.
What I like best is that Isaac had gone outside to meditate and pray when he looked up and saw the camels coming in the distance and as they drew closer, Rebekah saw Isaac and after learning that he was the one to be her husband, she got off and went to him. Imagine Isaac's surprise and delight at God's awesome provision and Rebekah's honor to be chosen to be the ideal mate for him and his provision for her.
I have to tell myself this often when I begin to worry about the possibility of not finding the one God has for me. Put God first, and God will provide!
