【一起闲话英语】什么时候结婚最合适- Best Time to Marry

Amir / Iran

speaker If marrying early means¹ the age of thirty, I don't think so because my parents got married² after thirties and they're having a happy life and for male³, especially maybe there are not necessarily⁴ obliged⁵ to marry early because their circumstances⁶ are different from the women because they have to give birth, maybe it's better for them to get early ... before they're 30 ... if they want to give birth, I mean. Yeah. Thank you.

 

Lori / Canada

speaker I don't think early or late really comes into the question. I think you should get married when you have found the right person and you're really sure that this is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.

 

Eoin / England

speaker I think it's probably better to marry later in life, though possibly that's influenced by the fact that both of my parents married at a later stage in life. The reason I think that is because it allows you to really discover who you are and to do a lot of the things that you would want to do while you're young.

 

Aki / Japan

speaker I'm 27 right now I don't consider if I marry now, I don't consider marrying early so, I guess marrying late is better. You get more experience and ideas. What marriage⁷ is. You get to maybe find the perfect guy for yourself so I'd rather marry late.

 

Chris / England

speaker I think you should marry when you're older, but I don't think that means that marrying when you're younger is necessarily a bad thing. I just think, when you're older you understand more about yourself. The person you marry ... you know ... you should be able to imagine that this is the person you're going to live with for the rest of your life, and when you're young, maybe you don't know what that the rest of your life is going to be, so when you're a little bit older you can perhaps see that and you know, find someone who's the best match for you.

Maiko / Japan

speaker I used⁸ to believe that marrying young is better than marrying later in life, but now that I married later, I think it was a good decision to do whatever you want to do when you are young and you have experienced⁹ things you couldn't have done if you were married so I'm really happy to be married a little later in my life.
