By late marriage, I mean 32 years for the woman and 40years for the man.

The disadvantages are numerous
1. For a lady: menopause now starts earlier. I don't know whether to blame it on dietary habits or environmental factors, women now experience menopause earlier; some as early as 35. Women who marry late panic and fret about having children. Their anxiety can also delay achieving pregnancy. Women over 35 also miscarry easily and experience more complications during delivery.
Again when women don't marry early, (from 22) they become so fearful at the prospect of becoming spinsters that they abandon the search for Mr Right and accept any Mr Available. Desperation can lead to wrong choice and failed marriage.
When a lady is made career-wise, men get scared of her. they feel an inherent sense of inferiority. Those that muster the courage may be seen by her as gold diggers and opportunists. Better to marry when you can get genuine love and grow with the person than wait to be on the begging end.

2. For the men: whether Nigerian men like it or not, male fertility also reduces with age. Blame it on diet and lifestyle. The men also get desperate to have children and may be tempted to have kids outside marriage.
Getting the love of your life is also more difficult if you are already "made". It is when you're nobody that you can tell who loves you and not just who came because of money.
If you're already comfortable, the girls may fight to get your attention, making the selection of wife material very difficult.

Marrying at an older age means you can't connect with your children because of generational gap. You will be analogue and your kids will be digital.

You risk making a young wife a widow. You pay school fees with pension money.

Dear readers, do you agree?
If you do, add other disadvantages of late marriage

There is nothing like late marriage in the Holy Bible.
Jacob first first marriage was at 47 and second marriage at 54.

AND YOU DON'T NEED TO MARRY TO HAVE CHILDREN.
COMPREHEND?[/size]

Chai no more time wasting, marriage mood activated, gonna be 28 by sept abi I too small ni?

Sometimes people marry late, not by choice but because of circumstances beyond their control.

For the ladies, they may actually want to marry early, but one way or the other usually end up with men who are full of deceit without any intentions to walk the down the aisle.
For the guys, they may actually want early marriage but have not really matured in Age, Finance and Emotions, which are critical for a successful marrital life.

2. For the men: whether Nigerian men like it or not, male fertility also reduces with age. Blame it on diet and lifestyle. The men also get desperate to have children and may be tempted to have kids outside marriage.

Late marriage should be avoided by all means!! There's no mr/miss right out there. My elder sis is 37! And still single! Not her fault but poor judgement on her part contributed but to God be the glory her wedding date is fixed her husband to be is 40!! I married early and I am ever so thankful that I did cos at 29 and hubby 30 we are done with child bearing!! Now the job is bringing them up. When I look at my sis who is just about to start the journey that I'm already through with at 37?? I can only pray and wish them well!

I was 25 when i married my wife, and she was 18th precisely. This 40 for guys too much o!

interesting

I love weddings.
Just invite me to come and eat your wedding cakes and even chance your bridesmaids.

My younger brother is wedding this weekend.
I wish him and his bride happy married life.
But I am still a happy single and the freedom of free love is WOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!

Anything marriage is tied to the apron of anything African culture, coming to Nigeria, especially Yorubas, Marriage is almost tied to 'being successful in life' when actually it is a grand deception of the deepest dye! I have seen many men who married early and are yet to breakthrough, I have seen many men too who married late and are successful likewise I have seen vice versa, the truth is prepare your hearts (emotionally, physically, financially) very well (be you man or woman) before you choose to settle down with your partner and be ready to challenge whatever situation that comes your way with a brave heart because Marriage is not bed or roses! Nothing like LATE MARRIAGE!

Getting the love of your life is
also more difficult if you are
already "made". It is when
you're nobody that you can tell
who loves you and not just who
came because of money.
If you're already comfortable,
the girls may fight to get your
attention, making the selection
of wife material very difficult.

for men ,this is the only demerit of late marriage

Listen it is better to marry late and with the right person than to marry early with the wrong person and get divorced. The problem with some of us is that we like playing God. And who told you that menopause start by 35; show me a lady with that at 35 then i will show you a pregnant woman at 40.
