Time seems to be the “enemy” of many people when they always have to listen to questions like “When will you get married?”, “You’re 30 years old and still haven’t found a boyfriend?”. Gradually, marriage becomes a fear and obsession.
In today's society, when choosing a life partner becomes freer, many women still find it difficult to find a suitable husband.
Based on mathematics and science , people discovered the “37% rule” to determine the ideal age to get married. Accordingly, the perfect age to enter the church is 26, according to Ghana Report.
According to the book Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths, the “37% rule” will help a person easily and quickly find a compatible other half.
Accordingly, people need to screen all options within a fixed period of time (for example, choosing a candidate to recruit, buying a car, buying a house, etc.), the most reasonable opportunity to find a qualified candidate is when they have reviewed 37% of the list. Because that is when they have memorized enough information, avoiding unnecessary risks.
This rule even applies to choosing a spouse. The range at which people typically look for a future spouse is 18-40 years old, and the 37% mark is exactly at age 26.
On the other hand, many experts agree that the late 20s are the golden age to get married. Dr. Wyatt Fisher, a British psychologist, believes that the reason this age is ideal is because it is when both people have finished their studies and started building their careers.
Meanwhile, Kelsey Torgerson, a clinical social worker and marriage and family therapist, says the key time to find a roommate is when the brain is fully developed, which is around age 25.
“If two people have been in love since high school, experience finishing college, studying abroad or having a stable job. At that time, both sides will be confident to face the stress and difficulties in life," Torgerson said.
Besides, Weena Cullins, a relationship therapist, believes that two people who get married at the age of 28 will definitely have a happy marriage.
“In my experience, the ideal age for women to get married in the US is 28. At this age, brides-to-be are more aware and confident about their choices. They have a good understanding of themselves and a stable career, know what they want most in a partner, and have learned from the mistakes they made in previous relationships.”
For men, Cullins said: “It would be great if they got married at 32. By then, men have a career and the ability to advance in the future. At the same time, they also have the opportunity to develop socially and emotionally through living alone or dating.”
At this age, men are mature enough to make informed decisions about their marriage. They also tend to have a clear view of their plans to have children and their role in co-parenting. This is beneficial for the marital relationship.
Research or advice from outside is for reference only, in reality no one can be sure and determine exactly what age is perfect to get married and have a happy family life.
So it's not unusual to be single at 25. Likewise, if you're single at 36, don't lose hope.
