Marriage, as you said, is one of the best unions young people can find themselves. It is a union that offers no certificate of completion. Marriage is a lifetime commitment which is complex to understand. It’s a union that no party is allowed to get out alive, going by the oaths taking, “till death do us part”. Regardless, its feelings are next to none in terms of happiness and sweetness.

It is quite appalling to see the way young ladies go about getting wedded without making plans for marriage. Well, you see, a wedding is a glamorous one-day celebration that leads to marriage; a lifelong contract that leverage understanding and loads of commitment from both partners. Many a time, ladies do not consider the compatibility and required in marriage, they are just caught up in the hushed wind of the wedding’s galore.

As there is no perfect age to getting married, it is imperative to reach a certain age in terms of maturity, responsibility and understanding. Marriage is a very delicate relationship. The perfect time to get married is no time actually. Clocking a certain age is no yardstick to being eligible for marriage. As a matter of fact, the oldest man might not be marriage-ready.

Getting married takes a lot of consistent and continuous effort to make things work whenever it gets ugly; which is a guarantee. So, the best time to get married is when I believe you are:

1. Of a marriageable mind and soul;
2. Comfortable taking care of two or three persons;
3. Understanding and tolerant;
4. Gainfully employed;
5. Have multiple sources of income, perhaps.

The list is inexhaustible. So, we all need to have the state of the mind for marriage before dreaming about it. Marriage is desirable, nonetheless. It is imperative for you to understand what you are about to commit yourself to.
