what is the best age to get married do some age

groups have a higher divorce rate is age really a factor let's break this down

hi i'm dr wendy walsh for local now

and i'm here for you most of my work centers around relationships the science of love

so i read statistics all day long we do know

that the age of first -time marriage has been going up

in america right now it's the age of 28 for men

and the age of 26 for women

if i had to pick a perfect age to get married i would say wait until at least you're 25

when your prefrontal cortex is fully developed in fact research shows

that there's a magic number to prevent divorce and it's the age of 23.

if you get married younger than 23 you have the highest divorce rate.

It's something like 90%.

But I think more important than an age is how well do you know yourself?

How well established are you with your education and career plans, no matter your gender?

And how well have you assessed a potential mate?

So think of those things as being really important as much as age.

Now let's talk about the fact that people are getting married at every age across the lifespan.

One trend that I've noticed, no science here, but I've noticed it, is that people tend to couple up and get married at two important times of their life, either in their late 20s,

early 30s, when it's about child rearing, right?

Because what's a relationship?

It's an exchange of care.

And that care may be financial care, sexual care, let's see, domestic care, child care, emotional care, intellectual care,

and you really need a lot of care for each other when you're raising small children.

The other time I notice a lot of marriages happening is over the age of 50.

It's almost like our bodies start to decline and we need that care again.

We need the emotional support and we need the physical care.

No matter what age you are, I do want you to ask yourself how important marriage is to you and why you need to do it.

If you're doing it for your parents, maybe not a good idea.

If you're doing it because you really believe in the teachings of your religion and so does your partner, maybe a good reason.

If you're doing it because you want to make sure that you have a financially stable household to raise kids in, another good reason.

But if you're doing it because you're excited and aroused by a new partner, mm -mm, don't do it.

If you're doing it because you're being pressured by anybody, including the person you're about to marry, mm -mm, don't do it.

You know, it's okay to actually not marry in America too.

That option's there for some people.

What can I say?

Finally, my last bit of advice is do not marry anybody that you have not had an argument with.

You need to see their conflict style

and you need to see how they make repair because the road to intimacy is one paved with ruptures followed by repairs.

It's during that repair process where you say, I'm sorry, I see you, forgive me, I understand that you really grow emotional intimacy.

And the research says, emotional intimacy is the glue that keeps couples together for a long time.

I'm Dr. Wendy Walsh.

Thanks for watching here on Local Now.

You can find me anywhere on my social media.

That's at Dr. Wendy Walsh.

See you next time.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
