This is my entry to the Hive Learners weekly contest.
When we hear this saying that age is just a number, it might not really be a big deal. To us we feel that it is just a digit, and of course there really is not a limitation to whatever the case might be. It might seem so, but is it really it? . This prompt is a good one at its peak for us all in one way or the other. I would say a very big YES. Of course, there really should be an age in which one should be talking about marriage.This marriage is not an easy one; it comes with physical, social, and psychological readiness, and as such, we should be prepared for it. It is not something you chip in and chip out daily or monthly with people. It is a commitment that is made between two people who have looked and deem it fit and ready in various ways.
The age of maturity here in Nigeria is 18 [eighteen] years, and now making it also that age in which one can now enter into marital vows is really amazing. There should be, to me at least, so people would know what they are entering into. There needs to be maturity of mind, as their minds are already supposed to be prepared for that particular thing. It is really not child's play and not for children but for matured minds, in which they would enter and, by God's grace, know how they are supposed to manage it.
It is not a must for people to marry those in the same bracket. There are people who are way younger but have matured minds, and their ability can also try to reach that of those of ten years. Also, within that range, you would try to make people think at that same range; at least both of you now are at the same range and think alike in one way or another, which is very amazing.
To my own understanding, people can marry others whether way older or way younger; the thing that matters is that if they have the same minds alike, it is not a big deal. One thing is that if there is that understanding of each other, it is settled. Do they come to an agreement to get to know and think alike? Then living perfectly by God's grace is not a big deal.
To me there is no rule in which this love affair is supposed to be made; what Mr. A likes might also be really different from what Mr. B prefers. People have their individual choices, and that choice, which they have made and chosen, should be allowed to work with it the way in which they personally prefer.
Age brackets vs heartbeats It is really the heart, and as far as it is beating and the amazing love is, then the love is perfect.
We keep hoping for the best 馃檹
