and having lesser number of offsprings.

This

essay will succinctly explain why financial stability and proper

household

planning are the reasons why these are rampant.

Firstly

, it is not uncommon to hear about folks in other climes getting married at later stages of their lives and having relatively fewer progenies.

This

is because, the quest to become financially buoyant and have the capacity to completely cater for the needs that arise from

such

union is often a priority that must not be overlooked and underestimated.

As a result

, more

time

is spent on garnering enough resources that solidly fortify them and guarantees safe havens for the incoming partners and unborn children.

For instance

, folks in Germany would rather wait till they own their homes and have six

savings before any conjugal commitment.

This

will obviously extend the

time

it takes to get married, and forces them to get hitched late. Another point to consider, is the fact that, individuals in many societies take

household

planning with great level of seriousness, that often make them arrive at decisions quite later than usual.

For example

, more

time

is spent discussing issues like family size, size of home, location and the likes.

This

Hence

, certain individuals in other climes take seriously these factors when making marital plans. In conclusion, while there are positive consequences of marrying

certain demerits that should be noted. These include reduced

spent with children, which may lead to less bonding, that fosters trust between offsprings and parents.
