            try
            {
                Console.Write("What is Your Name: ");
                string Name1 = Console.ReadLine();
                Console.Write("What is Your Mid Name: ");
                string Name2 = Console.ReadLine();
                Console.Write("What is Your Last Name: ");

                DateTime myDOB = new DateTime(year, month, day);
                int age = CalcAge(myDOB);
                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                Console.WriteLine("Hello" + " " + Name1 + " " + Name2 + " " + Name3 + " " +"You Are {0} Years Old.", age);

                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                Console.WriteLine("Press Any Key To Close The Program ...");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
            catch(Exception)
            {

                goto StartLabel;
            }
        }

        public static int CalcAge(DateTime DateOfBirth)
        {
            DateTime now = DateTime.Today;
            int years = now.Year - DateOfBirth.Year;
            if (now.DayOfYear < DateOfBirth.DayOfYear)
                --years;
            return years;
        }
    }
}

One way you could do this, without giving away that you are trying to determine Mrs, Mr, or Ms would be like this...

Code:

spublic static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            StartLabel:
            try
            {
                Console.Write("What is Your Name: ");
                string Name1 = Console.ReadLine();
                Console.Write("What is Your Mid Name: ");
                string Name2 = Console.ReadLine();
                Console.Write("What is Your Last Name: ");
                string Name3 = Console.ReadLine();
                Console.Write("Are you a man or woman? ");
                bool man = true;
                string sex = Console.ReadLine();
                if(sex.Contains("wo"))
                    man = false;
                Console.Write("Are you married? ");
                string married = Console.ReadLine();
                bool married2 = false;
                if(married.Contains("y"))
                    married2 = true;
                Console.WriteLine("What Is Your Birth Year?");
                int year = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                Console.WriteLine("What Is Your Birth Month? ");
                int month = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
                Console.WriteLine("What Is Your Birth Day? ");
                int day = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());

                DateTime myDOB = new DateTime(year, month, day);
                int age = CalcAge(myDOB);
                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                if(man)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Hello" + " Mr. " + Name1 + " " + Name2 + " " + Name3 + " " +"You Are {0} Years Old.", age);
                }
                else if(!man && !married2)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Hello" + " Ms. " + Name1 + " " + Name2 + " " + Name3 + " " +"You Are {0} Years Old.", age);
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Hello" + " Mrs. " + Name1 + " " + Name2 + " " + Name3 + " " +"You Are {0} Years Old.", age);
                }
                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                Console.WriteLine(" ");
                Console.WriteLine("Press Any Key To Close The Program ...");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
            catch(Exception)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Invaild Input , Please Try Again . . . ");
                Console.ReadLine();
                goto StartLabel;
            }
        }

        public static int CalcAge(DateTime DateOfBirth)
        {
            DateTime now = DateTime.Today;
            int years = now.Year - DateOfBirth.Year;
            if (now.DayOfYear < DateOfBirth.DayOfYear)
                --years;
            return years;
        }

It is entirely possible to do this other ways, even ways that use less lines of code, but you can always figure those out ;)

A good idea to do it in code, but not an ideal solution in a real environment. How someone likes to be addressed is preference, particlarly for women (Ie, Ms. or Miss.). You're also dropping chance for people to put other honorifics such as Dr.
IMO, it would be better to leave it open for text, or have a more complete list, maybe contained in an enum - where you'd be able to select which name to use with a number.
