we're getting married older

If we compare the average age that people is getting married in the UK it can be said that it’s higher than 30-40 years before.

We are getting married older due to changes in our lifestyle. Nowadays people are finishing their studies later. They are still studying until 25-28 years old. Before getting married people need an economic stability, find a “good job”. All these issues made the age are increasing.

Also we can consider personal issues such as now people prefer living together first and sometime later to get married. Other people think that they are too young to get married. Some of them prefer to have different relationships before getting married.

This new trend has positive aspects: people are more mature, they know his/her partner better, they have more knowledge about life. But on the other hand this can result frustrating if you are 30 years old and you continue living with your parents. Women older than 35 years old could have some serious problems for having babies. And this point is really important.

If we compare this figures with other countries we can see that Latino American  people are getting married younger than British. But if we consider countries such as Norway or Finland the figures are more similar.

In the future we can see that this trend is increasing and people will get married older and older.
