Marriage at a relatively young

age

is actually encouraged within several cultures and religions. Personally, I got married at the

age

of 24, and as I am writing

this

essay after spending 16 happy years with my lovely wife, and being blessed with three children along the way, I strongly propose that getting married before the

age

of 30 is best from both individual and societal perspectives.
