16. The right age to get married

11.00

As much as it's said there's a right age for marriage,  I firmly believe that there really isn't, since love comes when it has to: if it doesn't come to the twenties, then to the thirties and if not, then to the forties! However, I may think so, but the reality is that society does establish an "appropriate" age range for marriage.

It is common to hear the typical phrases "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?" or "Well, when are you going to get married?" in family meals. Society pressures us to do certain things at certain ages. With what I have just mentioned, we can refer to marriage, work, buying a house and even having children. Everything seems to be dictated at certain ages, but should we obey? Of course not. As I said before, love comes when it has to come, and this applies to everything. All people are different, therefore, not all people have children at the same age, neither do they all buy a house at the same age, and not all marry at the same time in life. When you feel your time has come, that's when you really have to do it.
