“All ages are submissive to love” … Therefore, someone gets married as soon as they turn 18, and someone, having met love later, goes to the registry office closer to 40 years old. No matter how old the newlyweds are, there are pluses and minuses everywhere.
According to statistics, more than half of couples get divorced within a few years after marriage. The main reason, according to sociologists, is the unpreparedness of people for this serious step. Dreams and illusions break on gray everyday life. Does the happiness of family life depend on the age of the newlyweds?
Early marriages
Some couples get married between the ages of 18-19. The reasons why young people decide to tie themselves in family ties at such a young age are often the following: an unplanned pregnancy, strong love, or protest against adults.
The young age of the spouses has its advantages. Love to the point of loss of mind helps a couple to go through conflicts and difficulties in family life. Strong nerves and flexibility of characters allow in a conflict situation to seek compromises, to quickly go to reconciliation, and not to stand your ground, having firm convictions. The young age of the girl is a big plus if you think about the future replenishment of the family. The best childbearing age is between 20 and 27 years old.
Where there are pluses, there are minuses. Just yesterday, young people spent their nights in clubs and carelessly spent their money on entertainment, but today you need to think about your family, earn your own living, pay bills and run a household. Not everyone is ready for such a turn of events.
Average age for marriage
The average age of the spouses is from 23 to 28 years old. As a rule, by getting married at this age, newlyweds are aware of the seriousness of their intentions. He already has a job that generates income. For the appearance of children, spouses are better prepared.
In addition to financial security, the plus of this age is that people have already formed their own life position for raising children. At the same time, the attitudes and principles are flexible enough to smooth out conflict situations between spouses.
Problems in marriage can arise from a mismatch of interests and values. If one of the spouses wants to live for himself first, and the other dreams of a strong family with children.
Late marriages
Marriages after 30 years are concluded based not on ardent passion and love, but on mutual calculation. In such marriages, as a rule, everything is thought out to the smallest detail: from the family budget to household chores. But this does not prevent marriage from becoming strong, long and happy.
The pluses of this age include independence, security, accumulated life experience and maturity of the spouses. Of the minuses - difficulties with bearing pregnancy, sidelong views of the public, well-established attitudes and habits. It is almost impossible to change a person after 30 years.
Whatever the age at which people decide to start a family, the most important thing is that they are ready for this.
