My younger sister who is in her mid-20's will settle down soon and when she announced of her marriage, most of the people say that she is in the best age to get married. However, as we have been observing her attitude, my family and I think she is still immature to get married. She is fond of petty quarrels and very insensitive saying words to her partner. Her boyfriend is some sort of a martyr.He just keep quiet and just obey everything my sister wants.
As the wedding is approaching soon, we wonder what kind of marriage will they have. With the way my sister treats her boyfriend, I think she just wants the idea of getting married at what they say the best age.

I have same opinion too. As for me, it seems they have more to learn of about one another. I see it very challenging and marriage is a sacred thing. They cannot quit easily if they both get tired unlike if they are just in bf/gf stage.

@trivia79 That is what I have been hearing too with older people. By the way, are you married already?

If that is how you and your family feel, it is best that you sit down with your sister and talk with her about it.
As for the best age to get married.. there is not best age in my opinion, best not to get married at all!

Well, that is true. I wonder if they are ready in -all aspects..I also wonder if there are couples who have been ready in all aspects before they get married.

@MGjhaud Yes, that is another case. But then, couples can marry or not marry even the woman is already conceiving a child.

I agree. In my work place they always put a bracket of what they think are the right ages for a woman to get married without considering other aspects. I get annoyed when they always tell that the best age to get married is when a woman is on her 20's because that is the best age to give birth to kids too.

They both have good career. My sister has been a good daughter and her boyfriend is also good to our mom.

I think so. I wonder what will be their life after marriage. I do not think they will have problems with money as they both have a stable job. What I am worried is about their maturity.

I believe when you marry, nomatter how immature,things change very fast and you get mature and responsible without even being told to.

@miniam I wonder for those who commit a divorce. Does it mean they did not reach the appropriate maturity stage in relationship?

I am turning 26 next month which is the age my sister got married at. I am not married yet. Ideally I'd like to get married before 30 but maybe sooner as my boyfriend is already 30. But we want to be financially ready to own a house and prepare for the future though which is why we are waiting.

I think them getting married is what they have decided is best so it's really between them if they have any issues down the road.
I got married at 19 and for me it was the perfect age-I think it depends on the person.

That is great! I also do not think there is no such best age to get marry. However, what my sister colleague's think is that it is also a good age when giving birth as there are not much complications unlike those marrying on their 30's and up.

I agree with you. Both must have an open mind and willingness to forgive when someone makes mistakes in the relationship.

Age is not a major factor, but the readiness to get into the married life; a stable job, good relationship between the two. So I guess, the man should have tons of patience or else their marriage would fail.

That is true. I agree with you too. Her boyfriend is 4 years older than her. Sometimes when he gets upset with my sister, he just keeps quiet. I hope so that he will have long patience because I see my sister is still very immature.
