Blog #36: What age is the best for marriage?

in blog •  7 years ago  (edited)

Recently, I have discussed with my friend about most of Vietnamese girl gets married so early. Yeah, I admit that in some poverty countries, people always want to settle down and tend to get married soon. Actually I also visited a wedding party of my cousin in last week, and she is just 20.
Someones said that getting married when you are so young will be a stupid mistake and makes you stuck like your mom, your grandmy.
You are never able to escape that cycle.

What age is the best for marriage?

I wonder that if early is not good, so what age is the best for marriage?

I dont believe there is a best age for marriage. I believe what matters is the maturity of the two people who are getting married. People mature at different rates, depend on environment, on society where individual one belong to.

Some people become millionaires at 25, while some dont even complete their college till 27. You cant really define a borderline for everyone to get married in that limit.

I used to ask my boyfriend that I want to marry at 28 since if over than 28 I would be old and not pretty anymore. Lol. But he said “in that time, I may have just graduated university, how could I be with you if I would have not built my career yet?”.

See? There is no fixed time for marriage.


The point is... Are you ready?

I personally think that no matter how old you are to get married. But you should think thoroughly about you are ready or not. Are you ready to settle down and be with just one person for the rest of your life? Can you handle the idea of children? etc.

I dont encourage or against young marriage or old marriage. Only you can determine whether or not you are ready. I know the urge to get married becomes even stronger, once people younger to you start getting married. But you must follow your own path and decide the right time to get married as this is a very important decision of your life.


Do not

Don't get married because all your friends are getting married or you're tired of answering your relatives.
Don’t get married because you feel lonely.
Don’t get married because your sister is next in line, or thinking that you need a company in old age.
Dont think that marriage is good way to escape poverty. Dont bring any your debt into your relationship. If u dont want to be looked down and considered that you are gold digger.


So when?

Marriage can be delayed. Some people wait for a perfect mate and some for career but at the end most of us want to settle down in life.

If you live a responsible life, finish your education, save for your future, and only date a man who supports your goals, your life will not be a disappointment.
It’s worse to be married with someone who thinks your goals come second to his. Then it is better to be single.


So, When is the right time to get married?
Well, when you are ready and find outt the one who deserves your time.

Here in my country somewhere aged between 25-30 is the perfect age for marriage.

yea. mature enough. have started building up career for a while. already saved a little bit money. :)) quite good to get married. where are you from? ^^

Romania. Is not about saving money, but learning to make them.

I've got two uncles, one got divorced at age of 60 and now has a grilfriend of his age too and the other one got married at age of 55 just recently. There is no calculation when jt comes to this and no guarantees.
You get married once you feel like it. :)

Haha. I totally agree with u. Even when u feel like it. There is not guarantee that you still feel like it after that. :))))

Yes, even those true loves out there, who tend to grow old together are not safe. Life is unpredictable and one of them can pass away early leaving the other person to grow old alone.
So I guess, in the end you should always rely on yourself first, and if someone else is there for you that's just an extra. :)

I think marriage is best when you are financially and mentally stable because of you aren’t it will be harder to make the marriage last. Of course there are acceptions but for my personally I would not want to get married before I am financially safe.

yea. most of divorced case results from financial problems. :)) so make sure that we will not rely on our partner in term of finance before we decide to get married.

wow! awesome post. Girls 21 age is the best for marriage.

hahaa. how come? she has not finished college yet. and too young tho.

I can really relate with this post because Many of my friends Are Getting married and it seems how most people think that there is a deadline. But you can’t hurry love and different people have different priorities so everyone really needs to just decide what is best for them and take as much time as they need.

So now u are really urged to get married? Haha

Haha,I’m still holding my own. Would Like to first graduate so one step at a time:)

I think you should write about "what age is the best for having first child." It's really important question if we start thinking about marriage. People should plan their marriage according to their first child birth date.

It shouldn't be older than 40 years old for both men and women I think. But I'm just talking about first marriage. For second and other marriages, they should do it whenever they want.

Someones want to get married but they dont want to have kids. In my case, i want to enjoy honey moon within 2 years. After that i will think about kids 😂😂

Wish you good luck about it!

HMMM who is 28 years old man ? You have a lot of boyfriends lol

You didnt read it carefully 😞😞

chuẩn lắm chị ạ ^^
