For the next three weeks we’ll be writing about opinion paragraphs. To start off, let’s read a online news article on a school-aged boy who was excited to get married, writing invitations to his classmates and friends. After reading this follwoing piece of news, share your thought about this topic: when people should get married.

An 11-year-old boy has married his 10-year-old cousin in the ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Mohammed al-Rashidi and his unidentified cousin would seal the marriage they contracted under the sharia laws of Islam and move in together after a ceremony to take place later this year, Al-Shams newspaper reported today. “I am ready for this marriage. It will help me study better,” Mohammed, who goes to primary school in the northern province of Hail, was quoted as saying by Al-Shams. “I invite all my classmates to do like me,” the boy said.  He wanted to “crown a love story through marriage”.

  1. People should get married in proper time. What’s the proper time? In my opinions, people have to make their bodies mature and mind strong at first that they can afford to confront the problems what they meet afterwards. It’s unconcerned with ages. Secondly, stable finance is very important for a couple unless their parents will take charge their lives. It would have more expense after people get married. For instance, they could want to purchase a department, buy a car, or have a baby. Additionally, the environment is one aspect of getting married cannot be out of consideration. In fact, getting married is not just for a couple. Their parents, relations, friends, and even neighbor will concern about them very much; therefore, people could face extremely suffering if they are opposed by around people. After having above three kind of proper time, people could get married in the end.

  2. Marriage is a very important thing in a person’s life. It is symbolizes a new family will establish. But what is the appropriate time to get married? In my opinions, getting married is sacred. It is not only because of love but also responsible for a family. So I think the appropriate time to get married is when sweethearts hit it off well with each other for a long time, and they want to get along forever. Furthermore, they should have fixed incomes, and also understand about the responsibility of a family. Then, that is a suitable time to get married.

  3. I think that man and woman have different proper time to get married. Man who is the mainstay of the family, so he should be mature and has enough financial ability to support a family. According to this, I think man can get married with a range form 28 to 40. But for woman if she wants to have babies after she get married, she couldn’t get married lately. Because when her age is higher than 35, she is hard to be fertilized and having danger while she is labouring. So, I think woman should get married before she is 35 only if she doesn’t want a baby.

  4. There are lots of factors which must be considered before people would love to tie a knot. First of all, I think if people want to get married, they must have basic economic foundation. There are a lot of couples divorcing even though they loved each other originally; however, things will be changed with different situations. Couples might have quarrels when they don’t have money to solve problems happening to them. At that time, even if how much they loved each other before, it couldn’t help them. Then, it is not until people are getting mature in their thoughts and acts that they could gradually consider to marry to persons who they really love. Finally, the least but not the last, be sure that he or she is someone you really want to live forever without regret.

  5. Thought my writing said I will get married at thirty years old last week, to be honest, I want to get married right now! I want to stay with my boyfriend every minutes and everyday. I don’t like say goodbye every time we meet. It’s the hardest word to say to him. I just want to say “I love you” rather than “goodbye”. Why we can’t see each other everyday? Why we can’t live in the same place? Why we can’t have a cute baby now? Facing the music, we don’t have enough money to get married now. And we are not mature enough to deal with any trouble in marriage. So I think children in the news are too young to get married.

  6. Marriage is a beginning to have your own family. People should get married when they are both mentally and physically mature enough as a good beginning. There are three major reasons for this. People who like the eleven-year old boy in the story is not mature enough can’t be responsible for themselves even their spouses. Marriage is not a roll-play game. It is a promise for responsibility and duty. Secondly, adults could make wrong choices even people who are not independent yet. Who won’t be able to make right decisions for their future of life after married. Childish decisions like having a baby without needed readiness could lead to unpredictable tragedies and more society costs. The most essential reason, in my point of view, is that people who are not mature enough shouldn’t get married because they couldn’t earn their living by themselves so they have not strong enough economic foundation to support expenses of their family. Such as child’s education budget and any necessary costs for raising children. Their parents will die one day sooner or later, so young couples can’t rely on their parents forever. Being ready and being strong enough before get married have greater chances to have a happy ending rather another wrong beginning.

    Marriage is a beginning to have your own family. People should get married when they are both mentally and physically mature enough as a good beginning. There are three major reasons for this.

Being ready and being strong enough before get married have greater chances to have a happy ending rather another wrong beginning.

  8. People should get married when they find true love. I often remind myself that life is too short, therefore I think I should get married as soon as I find my Mr Right. Marriage is actually one of my life goal prosess, because it will decide how my later life goes. I have no idea of the suitable age for that. However I think the age is not so important to talk about it; except some people who do not have mature enough thoughts to concider it properly. Some people get married even in their 60s or 70s, because some of them have lost their husbands, wives or families. People are not forced to be married, however the reason why people are still willing to have their own life partners is for love. Unfortunately, some couples are regret their marriage, but I think that is also a part of their life. As every person has his own life, there must be hundreds of way of looking at marriage; but I think we should enjoy our life with love. I hope all the people were born to look for love. Hesitaion is waisting of our time, because life is only once and is limitted.

  9. Marriage is the most beautiful thing in our life.No matter how old you are or how young you are.The most important condition is both you love each other.Some people may think too young to get marry is not a good thing.Because they didn’t have enough financial ability to support their whole familly.But I think that’s not a big deal.Nowadays many young couple get marry but they control their financial well ,because both of they have job and double income is enough for them,so I think true love is invincible.

  10. Since two people know, and love each other, even understand to treasure one another. Of course, they regard as him or her is the only lover. It’s a great moment to get married. To begin with, they should be allowed by the parents of both sides. Marriage not only needs the wishes of parents, but also requires the wishes of relatives and friends. Next, marriage isn’t just a person’s thing. Both of them possess more ability to bear anything whatever they meet. That is, they are responsible for everything. And then, they are capable of economy. Stable income is indispensable for a family. At last, they are willing to stand by one’s side when meeting difficulties. It’s significant to let another depend on. Whenever getting married, couples have to give support each other.

  11. People consider that getting married is essential to a person’s life. And in my opinion, I think the best time to tie the knot should builds on some factors. First, both of them should have great relationship on love. Because if they don’t love each other. They probably will divorce in the future. Second, they should have basic economical ability to support for their daily life. In other word, if they haven’t the ability, what they will take to maintain their life. Third, both of them should take responsibility for him or her. For this reason, they will accompany him or her passing their lifetime. And the most important thing is that newly wed ought to know “marriage” is the thing for both sides, not just for one. Overall, if they reach an agreement on those factors. I am sure they are ready for their marriage.

    When I saw this article, I was surprised. In my opportunity, they were too young to get married. No matter their physiology or psychology is undeveloped. And then, I thought about their religion. Muhammedanism is a very special religion for me. Its gospel is very esteem human rights and I think that why the boy can married at 12 years old. I think all religion has its miraculous place and I believe that when you believe a religion you will get power and confidence to do everything you want.

  13. Marriage is a system only for human beings. A man and a woman want to get together and organize a family, they must do this procedure. But this is a question about when to tie the knot is appropriate. In my opinion, I think the appropriate time to get married is people over twenty five years old. Because people are too young to deal with every thing well, especially the marriage which is very complicated But if people have already over twenty five years old and their mind are still very childish, they can not still get married. Because it means that they have no responsibility to the whole family. Another reason people can’t get married is that people have no economic ability to afford their children’s tuition or the spending of the family. Anyhow, I think people want to get married must have these conditions. They must have responsibility, very mature, not too young, have enough money to afford the expenses of the family and the most important thing is that they won’t regret and still very love their soul mate after choosing them.

  14. Marriage is a kind of exciting for me. When is the proper time to get married? In my opinion, to make your thought and mind mature; besides, you have some money and achievements. I have already calculated when I will get married. I think I will prepare to have a marriage when I am 28 years old because it’s time that I have some money and achievements or I am mature in mind and thought. The most important is I have to meet someone else. We have to love and respect each other. But, I still think I will have a marriage after 28 years old because it’s my proper time in my thought.

  15. What is the important and the most dreamy thing in our life? For sure, it must be get married. Getting married is represent that form a whole new family and also means that a whole new life begin. To me, my wedding won’t be so shindy but it must to be a romantic wedding. I have no idea that when i will get married, but I prefer 30 than 28. The 30 me will become more patient and more mature, also I will have economic base for support a family.
