Advantages and disadvantages of early and late marriage

NGỌC THÙY (THEO hindustantimes) |

Early marriage and late marriage both have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on each person's perspective and conditions.

Are you ready for marriage?

Nupur Dhakephalkar, founder and clinical psychologist at NIMHANS Mental Health Centre in India, says you will know if you are ready for marriage when you feel safe and supported in your relationship. You can discuss difficult topics without fear or hesitation and agree on your vision for the future, whether it is finances, family or lifestyle.

Talking about the right age to get married, according to Ms. Nupur Dhakephalkar, the best time to get married is not a specific age but a state of personal, emotional and financial readiness.

Things to know when getting married in your 20s

Getting married in your 20s can be a fulfilling experience, especially for couples who approach it with strong communication, mutual respect and aligned values, says Nupur.

Early marriage can provide unique opportunities to grow together and build a common foundation during an exciting and transformative period of life. However, the 20s are also a period of intense personal development, which can present challenges. This is often a time when people explore their identity, career path and life goals, meaning they can experience significant changes over time.

However, one potential risk for young couples is that they may experience changes in personal or social priorities, which can put unexpected strains on the relationship.

At this age, individuals are still developing their sense of self, confidence, and stability. Therefore, their priorities may evolve in ways that no partner can anticipate.

Get married in your 30s or 40s

If you're in your 30s or approaching 40, you may feel pressured to get married. But Nupur says there are advantages to marrying later in life.

“By their late 30s or 40s, many individuals have a clearer sense of their personal values, goals, and what they are really looking for in a partner, which can lead to greater compatibility and deeper relationship satisfaction. Complementary life experiences often mean couples feel more emotionally and financially stable, which contributes to resilience in a marriage,” says Nupur.

However, there are potential challenges to marrying later in life. People may become more accustomed to their own habits and lifestyle preferences, which can make compromises and integration more complicated. Additionally, for those who want to have children, biological factors can create additional considerations and pressures.
