The Age of Marriage
The Age of Marriage
In the past two issues we spoke about harmony between the spouses, and the موقف of the family regarding the choice of the fiancé or the fiancée… And today we wish to speak about:
The Age of Marriage
The age of marriage ought to be the age of maturity.
Not only sexual maturity, but also intellectual and social maturity, and the age of the ability to bear responsibilities…
These two fiancés will, after their marriage, become parents of a child or children, bearing the responsibility of raising them. Therefore, they must possess the maturity that allows them to bear the responsibility of raising children…
They will also have social burdens, and familial, financial, and social responsibilities, which require knowledge in managing their affairs…
This maturity is what helps in making a good choice at the time of marriage, and in maintaining married life calm and sound, and in overcoming the problems that may confront it.
This maturity also helps each spouse to bear his or her responsibilities personally, without the need to consult his or her parents and walk according to their directions, and what follows from this of family problems resulting from the interference of the father-in-law and the mother-in-law in the affairs of the new small family.
A young age is prone to fluctuation, to quick temper, and to reckless behavior. How often marital disputes intensify in it.
It is an age that needs care, not an age for bearing responsibilities or managing the affairs of a family in the true spirit of marriage, and of fatherhood or motherhood…
What should this age be? And what is the age difference between the spouses?
This is what we shall examine in the next issue, God willing.
