Marrying Early or Late?

The union of Marriage is a beautiful thing and much in vogue anytime in today’s society. Society has its expectation which seems to be ruling over the actions and inactions of the vast majority. The renegades to that claim are underwhelming in terms of number, and by so, do not seem to fit into the assumed picturesque standard. When a man gets into his late twenties, everyone expects him to walk down the aisle with his love interest who in turn is expected to be at least in their early or late twenties. After this stage, pressure comes in subtle ways. It is more telling on the woman who leans towards the biological clock faster than the male counterpart. In less developed societies, females tend to keep up appearances in a bid to make sure they are visualized as much as possible, and if things do not change soon, they glide towards depression; it has become a trend that doesn’t want to go away. 

Scientifically, it is better to marry early when the eggs and sperm are in their hay days for those that have procreation on their to-do list but for some factors, people do not always toe that line. We can reiterate the fact that marrying early is good but its success rate is low due to the deficit in preparation or when applied without the rudiments in place. One rudiment is emotional maturity. Emotional maturity comes with time or careful observation of the people around you. That is why the sages in every society are usually more advanced in age and such a fact makes a case against the notion of marrying early.  Facts and figures have shown that marriages that occur when the couples are a bit more advanced in age tend to last longer.

Human growth is never complete without self-actualisation. Every day people rediscover themselves and try to make decisions that are in their best interests. When an unpleasant discovery is made, measures are put in place to correct it. Thereby, making divorce a corrective action that hinges on a new reason that now goes against the earlier emotion that led to the union in the first place. Different societies have their standards and that also affects the reason and choices of their people. Studies have revealed that those with professional ambitions are most likely to marry late. Those who seek independence will have to do what it takes first before venturing into a union. Otherwise, they will rue such a decision if it turned out to be the wrong one. While there is no clear-cut projection on the right and wrong navigation pathways regarding perfect timing, we are left to take statistics seriously and adopt it as a guide, moving forward.

Evidently, an adult who has weathered storms in the past will know how to disburse empathy in the right proportions by being more tolerant and patient, which is a vital ingredient in any thriving relationship.  There is also a boost in personality regulation that wouldn’t interfere with the reason for the union. An immature party in a marriage will give their partner much to contend with. And will ultimately egg the frustrated party into making a tough call to maintain sanity. So far, this argument favours those who wait and do not rush a decision which is meant to last a lifetime.  The only downside to marrying late is the decline in options. Eligible bachelors are to work with the little pool of options that is available to them. To that end, there must be a balance in the waiting period to avoid being boxed into a corner and risk settling with someone who is not the right match.
