When it comes to having a happy marriage, researchers have found that getting hitched between the ages of 22 and 25 seems to be the sweet spot. Thats just an average, of course, but the benefits outlined below mostly focus on young as being ones early to mid-twenties.<br><br><b>You (and those you date) will be carrying less baggage. </b><br>When you marry young, you and your wife have less exes, old flames, comparisons, and retroactive jealousy of each others past relationships to deal with. You can start life together with more of the guileless freshness that lends itself to unabashed and lasting romance.<br><br><b>Youre more likely to marry someone with whom youre highly compatible.</b> <br>A lot of folks put off marriage so they can shop around longer, thinking that the more they look, the better chance theyll have of finding someone whos just the right match for them.<br><br><b>Youll have more sex (even years after you marry)</b>. <br>Staying single may seem like a good way to keep the sexual good times rolling. Yet surprisingly enough, research has actually shown that married men have more and better sex than their single peers. <br><br><b>Youre more likely to describe your marriage as happy.</b> <br>A 2010 study found that couples who married between the ages of 22 and 25 were more likely to describe their marriage as very happy than couples who got married in other age brackets. More sex may play a role as well.<br><br><b>You grow together.</b> <br>Its oft been noted that its more difficult to join two lives together when each party has been living independently for a long time, than when a couple starts out life together early on. Theres actually a neurological reason behind that observation.<br><br>When you delay marriage, not only do you become more set in your ways, but your brains a lot more set too. Its definitely still possible to hack relational us pathways through the abundance of independent me trails that were deeply carved in ones adolescence, its just harder to do.<br><br><b>Youll have an easier time navigating your 20s, and can be more successful in reaching your professional and academic goals. </b> <br>First, a spouse can be a vital support as you finish your schooling and embark on a career. During my undergrad years, Kate edited my papers and helped me study for the LSAT. During law school, she provided a much needed confidence boost when summer internship offers werent extended, or when I didnt perform well on a final exam. In turn, I acted as a sounding board for Kate as she worked on her masters thesis, helped her get organized and plan for her first teaching job, and provided a helping hand when she got stressed during both pursuits. Could we have made it through our 20s by ourselves' Sure. But having each others backs certainly made it a lot easier.<br><br>Marriage also helps you reach your career and academic goals by providing stability and fostering focus. Socializing and dating requires a lot of time, money, and emotional bandwidth. When youve found your partner-in-crime, youre able to save your money and direct your energy towards your other life goals. Indeed, studies show that married men in their 20s drink less and work harder than their single peers.<br><br><b>Your financial picture may improve.</b> <br>A lot of folks put off marriage until they feel their finances are sound, which in todays world, is a goal thats harder and harder to achieve. As we saw above, financial issues can indeed put a strain on young marriages. Yet such challenges can be handled with maturity, and what may be stressful in the short-term can work towards your long-term interests.<br><br><b>Youll have an easier time having kids, increase their chances of being healthy, and be better able to keep up with them.</b> <br>While modern advances have allowed folks to postpone having children, the reality is that both men and women have a biological clock and having kids gets harder and riskier the longer you wait. The research shows that children of older fathers have increased risks for several physical and mental disorders compared to children of younger fathers.<br><br><b>You dont have to cram marriage, career, and kids into a few short years.</b> <br>Many put off marriage and children to focus on their education and career, only to have all of these responsibilities simultaneously, and stressfully, collide in their 30s. Pursuing marriage, children, and career in successive phases, allows you to enjoy each season to the fullest.<br><br><b>Source:</b><br><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/the-surprising-benefits-of-marrying-young/">https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/the-surprising-benefits-of-marrying-young/</a><br><br><b>Photo Credit:</b><br><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/mar/14/we-spoke-english-to-set-ourselves-apart-nigeria-childhood-igbo-language">https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/mar/14/we-spoke-english-to-set-ourselves-apart-nigeria-childhood-igbo-language</a>
