Better To Get Married Early Or Late In Life

There’s a famous saying that goes something like this: “Love makes you do crazy things.” To be more precise, I am talking about a problem that many young adults pitfall into, getting hitched too young. Marriage, a formal union of man and woman where you are both recognized as husband and wife is no joke and should be thoroughly thought through before proceeding. Early marriages may suffer from multiple problems, such as lack of maturity, low income, and potentially an early halt to career and or schooling potential. Due to these three major points, early marriage should be reconsidered and avoided if possible.

Maturity is a by-product of aging. The older we get, the more we learn about ourselves and ultimately what makes us happy. Most young people truly are unaware of what they really want out of a lifetime partner. If a woman is not mature enough for wife or motherhood, she will most definitely find marriage difficult. Coping with any sort of marital disputes or raising children will be a burden and may become depressed too soon in life. By marrying older closer to your thirties, you will have a better grasp on life itself and how to handle certain situations.

Money does not necessarily make you happy, however most people will agree it sure is nice to have. By marrying later in life, you and your significant other should have been putting money aside for bigger and better things to come. Similarly, by having money you develop a sense of where it came from, value it more and are more mature about handling it. Most young people these days have the luxuries of being spoiled by parents who lend vehicles, cook food, clean homes, among other things. Once you’re married, the onus is now on you and your significant other to cover the costs of supporting yourselves. It’s possible, I don’t argue that, but younger married couples will have more difficulties with simple tasks such as these if they are not financially prepared or have good money management skills.

An Early Marriage

An early marriage, is an issue where argued by many now a days. Some people are advocated for early marriage because it is healthy.Prophet Mohammed said that it is better to marry early, but if you can’t then you should fast instead if you still can’t control your desire. I believe that early marriage had a lot of advantages. But people would argue that younger married couples are not matured enough to take the responsibilities. But this is not a big issue to argue for, since a most succeeded marriages in the past 10 years are a younger married which lasted longer. Personally, any person should have a step to marry early.

            People says , married earlier   is the best way to destroy your life in such a young age besides drugs. Young people are not ready for responsibilities. They have not done any thing important in their life. But , I believe if people waited until they were older to marry they'd be a lot more careful about selecting a mate. That would be a terrible blow to the divorce industry. Although divorces didn't depend on the age of the couples. It depends on how they faced and solved their problems. Moreover, I would say that it would be nice to have your children younger, and will be able to join them in many things, be closer to understanding their generational viewpoints, fashion, trends, etc. When your children have your grandchildren, you will be young grandparents able to enjoy your grandchildren, do more things with them, live longer to see them prosper as well. The nice thing is that once your children leave home, you will be still young enough and most likely healthy enough to do more things such as travel, or physical activity.

            Others says , that many females refuse to live with in lows , so as a consequences   males most ready to assist their own financial situations first before they getting   married, which may cause to delay marriage . 

EARLY MARRIAGE

Birth, marriage and death are the standard. But only one – marriage – is a matter of choice. The right to exercise that choice was recognized as a principle of law even in Roman times and has long been established in international human rights instruments. Yet many girls, and a smaller number of boys, enter marriage without any chance of exercising their right to choose. Some are forced into marriage at a very early age. Others are simply too young to make an informed decision about their marriage partner or about the implications of marriage itself. They may have given what passes for ‘consent’ in the eyes of custom or the law, but in reality, consent to their binding union has been made by others on their behalf. The assumption is that once a girl is married, she has become a woman – even if she is only 12. Equally, where a boy is made to marry, he is now a man and must put away childish things. While the age of marriage is generally on the rise, early marriage of children and adolescents below the age of 18 – is still widely practised. While early marriage takes many different forms and has various causes, one issue is paramount. Whether it happens to a girl or a boy, early marriage is a violation of human rights. The right to free and full consent to a marriage is recognized in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and in many subsequent human rights instruments – consent that cannot be ‘free and full’ when at least one partner is very immature. For both girls and boys, early marriage has profound physical, intellectual, psychological and emotional impacts, cutting off educational opportunity and chances of personal growth. For girls, in addition, it will almost certainly mean premature pregnancy and childbearing, and is likely to lead to a lifetime of domestic and sexual subservience over which they have no control. 
Marriage is a special bond. When two hearts are united, the marriage becomes successful. 
 In a marriage, it takes two people to make it work. There should be good understanding,trust and most of all communication built between the couple.


                                                 Some issues that arise in an early marriage

  • Young couples who get married early do not know how to manage responsibility. They are still young in their mind set and still have to learn what a marriage is all about. This is the first problem that occurs in an early marriage.
  • An early marriage, kills the feeling of youth. When teenagers get married at an early age, their young youthfulness is disturbed. They cannot enjoy their freedom as they are tied down to marriage and new responsibilities.
  • The feeling of adjustment is difficult when young teens have an early marriage. They do not seem to adjust to their partner easily, therefore it results in divorce. 
  • When you get married at an early age, individual interests cannot be fulfilled. The bride or the groom would want to study further and excel in other things but they get tied down due to financial problems. This will also result in not getting a job that they want as they lack a good educational background.
  • Early pregnancy an affect the life of a teenage girl. A 19-year-old girl cannot undergo the pressure of bearing a child. It not only effects her physical health, but emotional too. When it comes to looking after a child, it is difficult too as she herself is a child and will not know much about parental guidance.
