Is there suppose to be a marriageable age? Well I have never heard of that before, many people get married at the age where they’re meant to get married but sincerely in my Africa especially my in my country Nigeria once you’re middle 20s you will start hearing the talk of marriage from everywhere, how true is that? I am living example since I graduated from the university the most thing that people to talk to me about is marriage, just last sunday a friend of mine suddenly texted ne “congratulations” and I was curious but I still told her thank you but with a question mark.
So she told me that she had a dream the previous night and she saw me in the dream and that we’re making wedding plans and everyone was so excited in the dream then she added that I was also heavily pregnant, Again my sister in law told me she dreamt that I was planning to get married but physically there no such plans like that for now, just few days again one advanced lady was asking me if I wasn’t ready to get married and to be honest I’m really beginning to get irritated by this marriage talks although if it is the will of God then let it be done but then again the pressure is getting worser.
People get married at the age that find a partner, there’s is no specific age or rather there shouldn’t be any specific age because to me marriage is not an asset, and according to people who have been married for long “marriage is an institution that you cannot graduate from” so why the rush?
About age brackets? Personally the highest age gap I can go for is 5 years difference, anything more than that I really can’t, this isn’t applied to everybody, a former neighbor of mine whose same age as me is married with three kids and her husband is nine years older than her, in my head I will always think of my husband as my uncle if he was to be older than me with such age difference…Lol.
Im the world today people look at age as just a number as far they’re happy or they’re getting what they need from the union, some times last year we buried my auntie’s husband and when we went for the service of songs we found out that my auntie was older than her husband, I felt a bit somehow but its just a normal thing now, they have grown up children that way older than me with more than ten years of age, but they lived happily and nobody really or talked about it untill we found that day.
Couples must not really be same age grade, as far you’re happy in your relationship and it wants to lead to marriage then so be it, but for me I like it the old way, my husband must be older than me even if its just days days, the only accepted rule is do what validates your values and what makes you happy.
