I'm a 32-year-old Italian and since 18 I've been living with my girl-friends. Everything seemed fine for a while, but after a few years the equilibrium broke and at the end what kept us together vanished. If the answer is yes when should one marry? Could you tell me the advantages/disadvantages of marriage? please specify if you're married of course! :-) Thxs

Marriage is the right choice provided you are matured i mean mentally.There is a lot of give and take in marriage.You have to work for the benefit of your spouse and later children so that you give the children the initial foundation for a bright future.Dealing with children requires a lot of patience and understanding.The advantage of being married is companionship of your wife.There are so many thoughts which wouldn't have struck a man but a woman with her way of thinking can bring a change in our perception.As a bachelor financial difficulties can be overcome easily as we can cut down on our requirements but after marriage one has to think about wife and children.There are so many social functions which as a bachelor one could avoid for several reasons but as a married person we have have to put in our appearance.After marriage the free and independent life of a bachelor is curtailed.There is no right age foe marriage one can marry as soon as one is mature of mind and are capable of supporting a family.

Love is definitely required as without love there will be no understanding or respect between the couple.Think of the problems regarding finance only if you feel that you might not maintain your job or your steady source of income.If you find someone and you like her where is the guarantee that she'll wait for you till better days come up.You should be a better judge of your finances.

In this period of global crisis what scares young people a lot are financial difficulties... Do you think love is sufficient to overcome this problem (in Italy, with Berlusconi it's getting tough) or should someone some how wait 'till better days come up?

Marriage is always the right choice when you have found the right person worthy for your love and a love that works for both irregardless of time or how long, age and other possible conflicts that had existed.
I am still single at this time and I do prefer to still search for the right person to come along my way where we can share paths together.
I agree with you that most often, in first stage of relationship, all are good and fine but do not end that well in the way aspired having but, that is the real score of life and the test of true love relationship. This will be one of the margins a person can use as tool to know if the partner is worth to be given that great chance for long life together that will end in marriage.
Marriage has no disadvantages. It is the couple in the relationship that can do something for marriage, and express its advantages and disadvantages. Whatever been the realizations they have are the effect and what marriage had brought for them when they are together.
I believe that any choice still depend on the person concerned. His freedom to choose in accordance to his views and beliefs that will give him inner peace of mind and contentment.

good day to you, Nemonezonicamidecus (109). for other this is a though one but for me its a good topic for inter action.my wife and i have been married for almost 25 years and was blessed with 2 kids and up to the present we both love each other more as years of our marriage increases and of course our children.getting married varied to each individual, 25 years old and up is mostly suitable because at this age some have finish their schooling and having a degree has an edge in applying for a job to support a family and are mostly mature enough to take responsiblity.The advantages of being married is two people help each other to support the union they have created in building a family, either of them can lean on each other, one consoles the other because in marriage two becomes one .the disadvantages is if one goes astray the union or marriage will not work.to have a happy marriage, one must trust each other.

You're absolutely right about taking responsibilities and consolations, but this could be possible also just by living together without marriage. Probably what really pushes for marriage is the idea of having children, as you mentioned. Goimg for a wedding is easy. What seems difficult is to cooperate after a few years to reach 25 or maybe 50, 60 years of happy marriage. I'm very happy for you an your family. Thanks for contribution! :-)
