Age, Love, And Marriage: Finding The Right Balance

I've had a lot of instances where I tried to skip discussing on this topic of marriageable age because I think no matter what my opinion is, it is soemthing that every individual have their right to decide. Nobody will assist you in your marriage, you make your decision to marry so you get to bear with whatever comes out of that decision.

Marriage is a very important stage of life that isn't for children as in the old days where teen girls are married to older guys without much prior guides on how they should live in a marriage home. While that ended well for many, it also didn't go well for many. Immature people marriage is not advisable and it rarely ends well.

Coming from that perspective, that marriage are only for matured minds, I think I can say without worries of going against another's thought that, the age doesn't matter when love that is leading to marriage happens. What should matter more is, if the parties involved are matured and are well aware of what they are getting themselves into.

When marriages go wrong, so many things are affected especially the children brought into that marriage. It is why it's important to consider very well who one is tying the knot with to father or mother their children. Small minds or immature minds won't think of all these but focus more on their wedding ceremony would turning out great.

The word "limit" in marriage should be to keep children away from getting married. And by children, I mean those who know little to nothing about what marriage entails. Instead, they should be made to learn and understand the dynamics of marriage so they could be more prepared for when love hits and they want to push further.

Understanding that there are lusts, infatuations and then there is love is also an important factor to consider before agreeing that one is ready to go the marriage road. The age could not be reasonable to many around but if there is a good understanding of their feelings for each other, it wouldn't matter what others may think anymore.

I've had conversations with a guy who says he's not attracted to girls his age or younger, he loves to be with women older than him. While I didn't try to picture him in black, I figured he haven't considered getting married to any of them because he said something about his parents not liking how he hooks up with only older women.

We also hear of ladies who hook up with older men but mainly to make money out of them, only few actually got married to them. Somehow, the society knows when they are in love or just being after something they want to gain regardless of the age differences. But when it's about real love, the understanding of marriage should matter.

I believe any age differences can marry so long both are of marriageable age or matured to make their own decisions. I'm not sure how it would actually be like when a guy marries an older woman or a girl marry an older man but I believe there will always be some perks to such marriage so the decision should be on the parties involved.

Kim Lee Merit you are right here, as for me too, marriage isn’t really about age but about maturity and responsibility. As long as both partners truly understand what they’re committing to and are ready for it, the numbers don’t matter......what matters is love, consent, and readiness to face the journey together. After all we have seen big age gap difference marriages doing fine than marriages of same gap range

That's just it, it's all goes down to who is ready because marriage is not an easy journey.

Marriage isn't for small children oo, I mean those immature. Some people enter into it with different thoughts and intentions without proper knowledge, especially putting love first. Age range doesn't matter as long as both partners understand themselves and are matured enough to work through it.

Yeah, it's the different reasons before use to enter marriages that many do not last. Immature minds are mostly bound to enter with the wrong reasons.

Finding a balance between love and age seems to be a rule, but love does not always follow rational rules, so it is spontaneous and true when that love is real, but we must seek a balance in these aspects.

Love has no restrictions so it only makes sense not to restrict the age of parties involved.

Maturity is definitely a good baseline to aim for, it's at least easier to go through the lows and highs when it's with a mature person. Immature or rather unerupted people are hard to build with in marriage, I think, instead of just looking at the age, we should also look at the level of maturity and compatibility, after love, of course :)

True, that should be the next thing to look at after love is confirmed. Immature minds can't do marriage.

Very correct dear. Maturity matters alot and the two people involved needs to be aware of what they are getting involved into.
This is very educative.
Thanks for sharing

That's just it, thanks for stopping by.

Yes I agree. The limit should be for underaged minds. A child has no business talking about marriage. Go develop yourself first, then you can think of marriage.

0.00108664 BEE

Yeah, because some immature minds are getting into marriage instead of developing themselves.

0.00000000 BEE

Abi ooo.

0.00000000 BEE

You’ve literally said it all. Everyone knows what they’re out for so the decision is up to the individual to go for what he wants.

0.00108407 BEE

Yes o, they will learn on their journey if they refuse to use matured minds to get into it. 😅

In the end, everyone has a different opinion about the age bracket they desire, and having a law to mandate something of such is only going to lead to many broken homes.

0.00100978 BEE

True, so it's best to let people with matured minds decide for themselves

0.00000000 BEE

Any age can marry but not at a younger age there should be old enough younger age am talking about is not up to 18

0.00090126 BEE

It's the only area age do matter, we can't have young minds or children getting into marriage.

0.00000000 BEE

Yes that what an saying

0.00000000 BEE

You're right, marriage isn't about age but about maturity. Some people might be old but not matured.

0.00089950 BEE

True, so importance should be placed on that instead.
