donphilopus: I know-of a woman whose age difference mathematically is (eighteen) from her elder daugther and she lost her first son the marriage was 44years when she los+ her hosband der was no case of disorce b4 her hosband death althogh he married 7wifes b4 his death i'm in support of early marriage because of d state of Hocus-pocus,Razzle-dazzle and
Razzmatazz

byvan: Marry when you find the "one".Marriage doesn't guarantee you anything,not even the most sought after"children".Marry because you find that special person whose heart is in sync with yours and thAt you are ready to be with only that person 4 the rest of your life.It is great when you find love young.I did it young and am glad I did.Each time I look my self in the mirror,I can hardly believe that the kids yelling mummy in the background actually came from me.Do you know the feeling when you walk into a bank ,looking like a regular cool 20sumtin years old with your kids tagging along and " mummying"you all over?Chai!!!!the look of dissappointment in the eyes of the young men,Oh!! the envious eyes of the ladies when you ve got kids and your abs are still tight.


Don't get me started on the benefits of marrying a young man,that will require a thread of its own .Abeg,if u must marry,try do am eArlyooo,with the one that makes your heart dance Alingo!!!

SimonAndal: NO!!! I don't even believe in marriage, so the age, or lack thereof, shouldn't even come into question. SAY NO TO MARRIAGE! SAVE YOUR DAUGHTERS' VIRGINITY!!

Age is not just a number when it comes to marriage. Marriage is for mature minds and age has a lot to do with maturity.
A man should be at least 28yrs old(minimum) before he can think of marriage. For a woman, as long as she's passed the teen age stage, she's good to go.

Brand_new:
I'm not really against marrying at a young age so long as the individuals involved are matured and emotionally stable enough to embark on such a lifetime journey.

Like you rightly said, age is just a number.

ifyalways: Must everyone marry?

Marry @ 20 divorce @ 40 or marry @ 40 divorce @ 60, love is when and where you find it.

djeezy: By young I mean under 25. Someone I know asserted that it is a bad idea and that young marriages do not last and hence contributes immensely to 60% divorce rate....

98% of people just manufacture statistics on the spot.

what I know is that my parent's generation al married young. fathers in their twenties, mothers, early teens. 30 - 40 years later they are still together.

whitecaleb2010: Pls, i need a matured answer to this question. Does same age ( guy 28yrs and girl 28yrs) really counts in marriage?

Omogbhollahorn: yea i do, my dad married 21 and gave birth to my elder bro at 23. me,my dad and my bro all look like fwends and pple are always tripping alot abt our relationship....am finking of getting married b4 am 25 at most so help me GOD....
NW my take on d topic gangan i think it gud to marry young and forget d age barrier issh.most old men in my area are lovely xmaple of early marriage dey play like best fwends and their grandkids are even grown up.i think early marriage help couples to understand each other well and gives rum 4 longterm plans.

nomsochris: My folks want me to marry by 25/26. Didnt really buy the idea till my dad sat me down nd talked to me...stating reasons i find true nd reasonable. They say i can choose whom so ever i please so long she understands nd speaks my language nd i dnt have to spend a dime on the wedding. All i have to do is just choose the lady nd show up on the d day... i get a little bit nervous whenever i think of this, trying to take my time tho.

sweet_gala:

You don't lie, if I see kids running after you small vex will develop in me as to why a young man can just use style to steal beautiful fish from the river.
I personally see no reason to marry young, I see my married friends or ones with kids and I don't envy the added responsibility that comes at the age when one needs to enjoy to the fullest without limitations.

djeezy: By young I mean under 25. Someone I know asserted that it is a bad idea and that young marriages do not last and hence contributes immensely to 60% divorce rate. Howbeit I am yet to ascertain the veracity of his claim and on the other hand, many people say age is just a number. So what's your opinion? Mature responses please.

cigar icon: Ya I so much blieve in marrying young cos 1 u would be able to train all ur children in school before getting old hence not subjecting the eldest one under the responsibility of struggling to pay sibling's school fees and also fending for his family.
I knw of a man who married in his early ywenties, say 22 or 23 but am certain his wife is just a year younger and they have lived hapily up till their late 30s and there was no case of divorce or the husband abusing the wife, their son will be twenty one by this year and at evenings u see the man and nis son playing badminton. U will need someone who knows that family very well to convince u that one is the father of the other, u will likely mistake them for old skull buddies who are catching fun.
Talking about age and all that, there are some couples who got married in their thirties and still divorced, why ddnt their age come to play? I'm not saying. That marrying in your thirties or early fourties is bad, all I'm tryna say is that ur age is just the number of yrs u have existed on earth and doesn't determine ur level of maturity, maturity of the body is diff frm maturity of the mind so if u think u can hold a family in ur twenties fine and if u feel in ur thirties, good for u and if I want it in ur fourties, its ur choice, what matters is ur ability to hold a family.
