Eunbi Hwang / Suitable age for marriage / WED 11am

Deciding when to marry is totally one's personal sphere. However, I think getting married around 30 is the most optimal choice. Marriage means maturity and responsibility. We should be considerate of family members and adapt our own lifestyle with each other. It is said that those ability are accumulated through various experiences in society. In addition, people generally start to firm self identity in their late of 20's. It means that they can deal with realistic problems with their spouse. If a couple have a baby, responsibility becomes much greater. Also, sharing similar experience with friends is important. Especially if someone get married too early, he or she rarely have a freedom. One day, I saw a very young mothers who were same age for me. They talked about their marriage life and baby. At first, I thought that it would be hard for young couple to spend their time for themselves. For example, drinking until late night and having a trip with friends would be not easy. It seems that it could make them stressed. Finally, if a couple want to have a baby, becoming pregnant too late threatens baby and mother's body condition. Also, there is little communication between parents and children, in case generation gap is huge. So late marriage is not that good. To sum up, it seems wise to avoid excessively young or old age for marriage.
