5 Good Reasons To Get Married While You'reyoung by zizman: 8:30am On Nov 15, 2013
While delaying marriage has advantages -- a
lower divorce rate, higher income for women
and fewer and less intense arguments
between spouses -- studies show there also
may be benefits to tying the knot before age
30. However, there is such a thing as
marrying too young. Research shows that
marriages beginning when a woman is 18 are
twice as likely to end in divorce as those
beginning when she is 22.
Below are five reasons to get married in your 20s.
1. It could make you happier. The highest
percentage of people ages 20 to 28 who consider
themselves "highly satisfied" with their lives are
married, as opposed to single or cohabiting.
What's more, the largest number of women who
described their marriage as "very happy" tied the
knot when they were 24 to 26. A 2010 study found
that "the greatest indicated likelihood of being in
an intact marriage of the highest quality is among
those who married at ages 22-25."
2. You'll make more money (at least if you're a
man). An analysis revealed that among men in
their mid-30s, those who married in their 20s had
the highest levels of personal income. Economists
have found, in general, that married men earn
more than single men -- even when you control for
other factors like age and education.
3. You'll have more sex. Couples who marry in
their 20s tend to have more frequent sex than
those who marry later. Researchers say that "a
four year increase in age at marriage is associated
with a couple having sex about one time less per
month." What's more, married people as a whole
have more sex than their single counterparts.
4. You'll drink less alcohol. A 2012 study
published in the Journal of Health and Social
Behavior found that married and engaged young
adults reported lower frequency of drunkenness
than those who are not in a serious romantic
relationship. Laying off alcohol has many health
benefits, including weight loss, better sleep, better
skin and a reduced risk of some cancers.
5. There's nothing to be gained from waiting
-- if you think you're ready. We certainly aren't
advocating a rush to the altar, but if you feel like
you're prepared for that next step, go for it.
Research says there's no advantage to delaying
marriage just for the sake of delaying it. A 25-year-
old person who meets an excellent marriage
prospect would be ill-advised to pass up that
opportunity only because he/she feels not yet at
the ideal age for marriage. Furthermore, delaying
marriage beyond the mid-twenties will lead to the
loss during a portion of young adulthood of any
emotional and health beneļ¬ts that a good
marriage would bring.
