18. Nowadays it is common for people to get married in their thirties rather 
than when they are younger. 
 
Do you agree or disagree that this trend will benefit society? 
 
  
There has been a rise in the number of people who get married in their thirties and beyond. In my 
opinion, this is a beneficial practice because at this age most of the people are financially stable 
and emotionally mature to raise a family properly and ensure a better future for them.  
  
Most men and women do not earn well during the initial phase of their career. Hence, if young 
people get married in their twenties and start a family immediately afterwards, they are more 
likely to run into financial difficulties. As a result, they will not be able to provide the best 
healthcare to their family or education to their children. This inability can actually make them 
feel inadequate and even affect them emotionally. If parents are unhappy about their life and 
finances, they will never be able to raise happy kids.  
  
Most adults in their thirties are emotionally stable. They are also mature enough to nurture a 
family. Consequently, when people get married and have babies at this age, they are fully 
prepared to deal with the challenges that come along with marriage. For example, they are able 
to understand their partner’s emotional needs and have better compatibility, they are able to not 
only send their children to the best schools but also deal with their temper tantrums more 
patiently. This may not be possible for a 20-something father or mother who barely earns enough 
to put food on the table. Obviously, when people marry in their thirties it benefits them as well as 
their children.
