WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

Before anything, we still have the idea that ladies should be married earlier and guys a little bit later. However, for both guys and gals, there is some sort of disparity in what is the right age to get married for both genders. If at the point of reading this, you haven’t had THE TALK yet or received the guidelines of who or what is being expected, you are not so ready.

Irrespective of anything, I’m saving time and planning my wedding ahead. They say it’s stressful. I’m trying to avoid all that. I have picked colours, cake style, and gown style; the number of guests is still an issue as to how the decor will be; and bridesmaid style too. Don’t forget to subscribe and comment at the end.

LIKE THEY SAY, LADIES FIRST.

For Ladies, What Is The Right Age To Get Married?

Back then and till now, a lot of people have gotten this idea of getting married at the age of 25; anything after that begins to raise a lot of questions. From your late 20s, till you get 30, questions get longer and tougher, prayers, nasty comments, till maybe they don’t care anymore. It might be a societal thing; people begin to ask about fertility and all; maybe you have suffered rejections a lot, spiritual problems or most recently, you are a man-hater.

Another set is those who believe that once a lady is done with her university or higher education, boom, marriage is next. So, everything NYSC, Pre/During/Post NYSC is marriage planning time or you get married within that period. Ladies raised the bar a bit, and it became, after Masters. You should at least be engaged by that time.

Oh yes, I have to mention that women in my church during a discipleship class have proclaimed 22 to be a new age. In their words, “22 is the new 25”.

What Is The Right Age For Guys To Get Married?

I have known a friend since childhood. The age difference between us is not so much; we are talking about days or weeks (if you know him, hold your lips…).  We were discussing, not so long after my convocation, the next thing is, ‘Doyin, very soon you’d get married. I was like, Why would you say something like that? His reasons are that ladies get married early and guys tend to have to work and have a lot settled before thinking of finding a wife. Hence, I get married earlier and he gets married later.

So, for guys, the late 20s or early 30s seem just like it and are about the right age. By then, you have a Masters or PhD, a job, a car, a house, a sustainable bank account for your wedding, wife, first child, first child school fees, or so I see it.

HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS TOXIC.

The Pressure That Comes With Getting Married Early

PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE.

This whole thing is beginning to rumble in my eyes. What if I am 25 and I’m not ready? How will I know I am ready? What are the signs?

For 1 thing, I don’t want to feel rushed or pressured. I don’t want to hear ‘all your friends are getting married’ NEVER.

Getting married early, to the right person, is bliss. You get to grow, do fun stuff, and you enjoy the fact that you got married when you are older. There should be no time early or not. The most important thing is that you were ready.

Those who are getting married right after school or NYSC were aiming at that. Right now, maybe Post NYSC, one should also work towards that.

Once you have the right plans, goals, aims, and ambitions, everything falls right into place. You don’t feel rushed. Or feel left behind. You don’t feel it is too early. Everything worked out fine.

Dear guys, hustle and live. Dear ladies, don’t forget you also have your dreams; don’t rush; just be settled.

Plan early before your parents start sending your messages and calls, especially on WhatsApp. What’s your opinion on this? Leave a comment behind
