Does Age Really Matter in Marriage? A Personal Take

Marriage is a very big word, even if it does not sound so big when spoken, but it is directly connected to it. Families get connected, hearts get connected, and a lot of other things happen in a marriage. When it comes to India, marriages are celebrated with great pomp here. Some people spend their entire estate on the marriage of their children, and a lot of jewellery is also made by both parties. Earlier, marriages used to happen at a very early age, which was called child marriage and now this practice has gradually decreased, and the age of marriage has been increased from 18 to 21. See, if you used to get married in early childhood, then children do not have much problem with it, but after growing up a bit, children become mature, but nowadays we are seeing that marriages are happening even later; some people are getting married even after 30 or 40. There are many people who keep thinking about their career, and they do not get time to think, but some people get married on time, getting married on time means between the ages of 23 to 30 years.

Although every place has different customs and traditions, there are many families where the marriage of children is done at a fixed time. Many of my friends got married at a young age, and I am now more than 30 years old, but I am still not married. My family is looking for a match, but see, nowadays the pace is not as it was before. Earlier marriages used to happen very early, and there was not much investigation into them because people knew each other. Now a lot of things are seen, like where you work, how much salary you get, how many people are in your house, do you have your own house or not and whatnot. I have many acquaintances or many relatives who keep telling me all these things that today someone has come to see their daughter, or someone came to see them, and he was asking this or that, he was telling this, see, all the people around us think more and more conversations keep happening.

Well, there is probably no ideal age for marriage. People often say that if you get married at the age of 23-24 years, then it is considered an ideal marriage because by that time, both of you have become a little mature, and if you start doing a job and you have a little stable income, then you should get married. If you do not want to get married, then you may not do so, but some people get married even at a very old age. See, everyone has a different perspective of looking at life; if they wants, they can live without a life partner.

Now a lot of dating apps have come up in which people register, but the motive of everyone is to hang out with each other or have a one-night stand. See, I know a lot of people who use these social media platforms, I would not say social media platforms, in a way people just go out for connections and then connect through social media like Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and what not and then gradually their relationship becomes even stronger and some people just take it as a short term relationship and then they move on to the other person.

A lot is happening these days, try to understand but in many marriages I have seen that there is a huge difference in the age of the boy and the girl, In India, there it is believed that girls should not be older than boys, I don't know what is the reason for this, but many people say this, but if you get a girl of younger age then it is good, I know many people who are around 30 or 32 years old and they are married to a girl who is approximately 10 years younger than them, see, in such a case a lot of complications also come up at the time of pregnancy or when you have intercourse and what not, because see, 10 years is enough, there is a lot of difference in what is found ahead in this and there is a lot of difference in thinking as well.

My personal opinion here is that if you are getting married, then there should not be much difference in your ages. If you are of a similar age, then it will be even better, but if you are a year or two younger than , then also the matter can also work. I have seen many relationships till now, out of which I have rejected many girls because they were younger than me, but I do not want this difference between us. Then, if you do not have this age, then your thinking becomes necessary, a little different love. Some people become mature from a young age because responsibility comes on them, and some people do not feel any kind of responsibility in the future and nor do they care about anything, see, in every age you will find different types of people and some children are very intelligent from childhood and they can also worry and they also know how to care for others.

So overall, the thing is that if you are getting married and if the understanding between you and the person you are marrying matches, or you understand each other and are ready to support each other, then you should get married because it does not matter much. Many times, we see that even older women marry younger boys and many times, older men marry younger women. Everyone has different preferences and different choices. Everyone's opinion can be different on this but it is my personal opinion that if you are getting married, then there should not be much difference in your ages and try to keep it less than the average so that your compatibility can increase more.
