Is it Better to get Married Younger or Older??




In 1970 the average age of American men marrying was 23. Now in the current days the average age is 28 which is five years up. And it is the oldest average. It is because of the men pulling along the women into marriage, that women are now starting to want to marry older. Therefore, the age gap between spouses is starting to get more and more narrow. In 1890 the age gap of marrying men and women was around four years. In 1960 is gap got smaller and was around 2.5 years. Many women have reported that they were being peer pressured in to avoiding the serious thought to marriage until they are in their late 20’s. Those who are thinking about or wanting to get married in college are considered a pariah. Now a day’s parents are advising their children to wait on the thought of getting married until their education is complete. To launch their full carriers and become financially independent. This is not only an economical problem, but it is also an emotional problem. Marriage will eventually be there in the end whenever it is time. The only problem, according to social psychologists Roy Baumeister and Kathleen Vohs, the “market value” of women is on a steady decrease as women get older. While the men’s “market value” rises with time, because as time goes by they are goring their resources of money and maturation. The understanding of “early marriage” from social scientists is completely misunderstood by the public. The age-divorce link is most seen by young teenagers, which are those that are married before the age of 20. Marriages that have begun at the ages of 20,21, or 22 are not nearly so likely to end in a divorce than a s many people have believed. According to the data from the government, the women who would marry at the age of 18 have a better chance of making it work than those women who marry at the age of 21. So they age of getting married will always differ from generation to generation.
