TOEFL® essay example: What is the best age to marry?

[Jeanstrang]

What's the best age to marry ? Give reasons and examples to support your response.

My family is very happy.To me my father and my mother are wonderful and ideal parents.They haven't altercate with each other. I have wanted to have a same family.My dad tells me that getting married is very important to anyone.The best age to marry depends on each person. In my opinion, I think 25 is the best age to marry.

On the one hand, married at 25 is legal. For example, the law states that the age a man can marry from 20, and a woman can get married from 18. So getting married at 25 is very lawful.

On the other hand, people in the youth at 25 have enough maturity to know and look over someone else. You can take stock of half-and-half of your life.By that age,you should have established yourself,however, it is still young to be able to merge your dreams with someone else's dreams.

In addition, a couple needs money for their life. At that age, a couple has job to make enough money for their living and support the family. For example, my neighbor's daughter is 18 but she has got married with a man who is the same age. But this couple doesn't have any job, so their living is very hard.They can get divorced when they can't stand.

In conclusion, I think that marriage background is very important to a happy family. If I can choose one age to marry, I think 25 is the best age to marry because I am in the youth, I'm mature enough and economy to establish my family.
