When people should get married

Marriage is not just a formal union of a man and a woman that was recognized by law, by which they become husband and wife. A marriage is beyond a tie between two people. There are commitments that they must take after they get married. The capability of the couple to play their role will portray their family wellness.

The reckless decision to get married without a mature thinking and plans could lead to serious problems and even crime. There are aspects that people should consider before getting married in order to get a harmonious and long-lasting marriage.This includes age, stability of the financial and the congeniality of the couple. Firstly, according to Raghuvanshi (2011), people should get married when they turn 26 to 32 years old. People should be mature enough before they get married. Some people become matured at young age and some takes years to reach a level of maturity.

However, there are important facts that people should consider. For example, women get menopause at a certain age. According to Xu and Cramer (1996), women who are in their late 30s or early 40s are more likely to get a menopause.Apart from that, men are facing erectile dysfunction. Johannes, Araujo, Feldman, Derby, Kleinman and McKinlay (2000) states that erectile dysfunction among men increased with each decade of age between 40-69 years old. Thus, women should get married before 30 years old while men should get married before 40 years old.

Even though men and women are in a good condition of health when they were young, this does not mean that they necessarily should get married at young age. This is because, marriage at early age can leads to other problem such as poverty and lack of education.Secondly, people should get married when they are financially stable. According to Kenyon and Borden (2004), financial planning is important to maintain a stable financial household and also help to prevent financial crisis. Dion (2005) states that low-income couple faces more obstacles than the higher incomes couples in maintaining healthy marriages.

With the availability of financial stability, the couple will have fewer problems in dealing with their new life as a husband and wife. Adequate financial is really important especially on their wedding day.After their big day is over, they have to manage and carry out with their new surroundings. For instance, they should have a comfortable house for their shelter, a car to travel and basic needs to live their daily life as husband and wife.

This surely requires more finances. Besides that, by having a financial stability, the couples can plan for their better future. For example, they should have financial savings. This is necessary to raise their children properly. The saving will be used for learning and health security of children.

This matter should be considered as the responsibilities of the parents to nourish and show their loves towards children. Therefore, it is significant to have a financial stability before starting new life with the loves’ one. Lastly, the right time for people to get married is when they are congenial with each other. Severe quantitative studies lend credence to the idea that low relationship quality is a barrier to marriage (Edin & Reed, 2005). In order to build a strong bond in a relationship, they have to compromise among each other.According to Gaikwad (2010), there must be a mutual agreement between the couples to achieve a healthy and good quality relationship as it is the key to attain a joyful and successful marriage.

For instance, accept the weaknesses of others are indeed a very important criterion in maintaining a happy family. In the event of misunderstanding in relationships, many of the effects will arise after they get married such as the occurrence of chaos in the family and eventually will lead to family breakdown.Therefore, to resolve conflicts and prevent harmful fights, speaking and listening skills have to be equipped among the couples as well as understand the commitments (Dion, 2005). In conclusion, people should get married at a suitable age, financially stable and congenial with each other.

These aspects crucially considered with a rational thinking to avoid marriage failure. A successful marriage would produce a happy family and a healthy generation that will inherit the leadership of the country.
