Getting Married Young
Introduction
Nowadays, the traditions surrounding the marriage institution has changed significantly. Did you know that the average age for marrying in America has been growing higher? The Atlantic.com in June 2015 reported that the average groom in 1960 was about 23 years while the bride was about 20 years. However, by 2011, the average age for marriage had increased to about 29 years and 26 years for men and women respectively. This number seems to continue to grow, as most young adults currently prefer to delay marriage to pursue their dreams and achieve financial stability. However, is delaying getting married the best path for the young people? Although early marriage is not for every individual, there exist certain benefits such as such as having the ability to adjust and adapt early, getting a child easily, and improving finances. Today, we will talk about these advantages associated with getting married when young.
The first benefit associated with getting married young is that you will have the capability of adjusting and adapting in the marriage compared to when you are old. LifeSiteNews.com in July 2015 reported that a young married couple has understanding and tolerance towards due to the easy adjustments in their marriage. It is easier for the couple to integrate since they do not have deeply ingrained attitudes, patterns, or habits that would require changing after getting married. Therefore, the chances of a marriage working are considerably high.

On the contrary, marrying at a later stage when someone has settled reduces the chances of a good marriage. This difficulty is associated with the fact that the couple has become used to making their own decisions and thus, this leaves fewer chances for such married people to compromise in certain situations for one another.
Moreover, marrying when young enables a couple to have an easier time when they want to get a child and increase their possibility of being healthy. Although the modern era allows people to postpone when they want kids, the reality of the matter is that a biological clock exists for both women and men. The longer you delay to get married, the riskier it gets to get healthier children. Therefore, getting married when young will save you considerably from the biological clock that is ticking away. The HuffPost.com in April 2017 found that being young parents is advantageous because such a couple possesses so much energy to run alongside their children, climb with them, and chase them around. Parenting is not an easy task because a lot of energy is needed to keep up with children. However, by marrying young, a couple has the advantage of having an easier time raising the children because they will be young with a lot of energy for parenting.
Finally, the last benefit of getting married early can improve your finances significantly. In the modern era, people prefer marrying late to ensure that they do not struggle financially. However, recent research shows that early marriage can improve the financial picture. The Art of Manliness.com in November 2018 found that marrying when young increases the household income from 50% to 100% and thus, able to manage the living expenses and further dreams. Moreover, early marriage encourages fiscal responsibility and accountability since priorities change from looking for oneself to thinking about your partner. When two young people marry early, they are at an advantage of pooling their earnings and thus, meeting their household expenses and further their dreams.
Conclusion
Indeed, marrying at an early stage has numerous advantages associated with it. First, young married couples can adjust and adapt easily to their marriage compared to people who marry when they are old. The chances for this marriage to work is high because the young couple can integrate easily. Additionally, ear enables a couple to conceive babies easily. We all know that the biological clock does not stop for anyone and therefore, the earlier you get married, the better the chances you have of getting healthy babies. Finally, the last benefit we saw is associated with financial stability. Getting married early can improve your financial picture because you can combine your finances and use them to meet house expenses as well as further your careers comfortably. With all these surprising benefits associated with marriage, I do believe that young people should develop a positive perception about marriage and marry early to enjoy the benefits.
