Good day, amazing people of the Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's marriageable range.
Marriage is a beautiful thing; it is a union that brings two people together to become one. Commitment and love are the things that keep marriage. I always tell people that marriage is not for the weak; also, marriage is not for children. It’s for mature-minded people who are really ready to face the challenges that come with marriage.
When it comes to marriage, I don’t think there should be an age range. Marriage is about commitment and understanding your partner. One thing I always tell myself is I will not just marry someone because of his wealth, personal growth or so on. I will marry someone who is mature in thinking and can handle challenges. If we have one age doesn’t determine that a marriage will be peaceful but how mature the couple is.
In our world today, once you see a couple with a wide age difference, the majority of the people will assume that either the man or the woman was forced into the marriage, probably because of what the family will stand to gain or what the individual will gain. In most cases, it seems to be true because they enter the marriage because of what they will gain, and in the future, they will be full of regret.
I have a cousin sister who is materialistic. One fateful day she came back home with a man who is old enough to father her and said that she wants to marry the man. At first I thought she was joking until she told us that if the family didn’t allow her to marry the man, she would kill herself within weeks. The man came with his family because money was never the issue; the man she is with is wealthy.
The man is 30 years older than my cousin, but she was blinded by love. Five years in the marriage is nothing but chaos from one hospital to another. Currently now the man is in a sickbed. Life has really been miserable for her. She will always tell me, 'Sis, how I wish I listened back then.' She is looking for a way to end the marriage.
Age is just a number. Whether you marry someone who is older than you or in the same age range, what really matters is that the both of you love and respect each other. Putting a rule in marriage will not be nice. I don’t buy the idea of age range when it comes to adults; they have all the right to choose who they want to spend the rest of their life with. Age does keep a home. There are people who marry someone older than them, but the marriage was nothing to write home about, and there are people who marry someone within their age range, and it is peaceful, so age doesn’t matter. The most important thing is having two mature adults that understand each other.
Marriage is not for kids. You must be really ready to face whatever thing that comes with marriage. Marriage is beyond age.
