After reading the topic, a certain memory popped into my mind and I’d like to give a highlight to that. So to start with, I had this very interesting discussion with a friend regarding marriage. So it was a discussion whether it is an ideal to get married at the age of 30 or earlier than that. So my point was, or I debated that it’s better to get married at the age of 30 because a person is more mature and more stable at that age. To be more detailed, at 30 most people are financially stable, emotionally ready and physically ready as well to bear a child for women and to take full responsibility for men. However, my friend believed otherwise. She argued that it is better to get married earlier than to have kids early. So you know, you kids still see your grandchildren in the future or something like that. So after a very long discussion, we concluded that it was just a matter of preference. So it depends on a person, whether or it depends on how ready a person is. To be honest, I was irritated at first because I did not see my friend’s point. I felt like her perspective or her future arguments were nonsense. But at the end, we were able to, what do you call this one, to agree, come up with a agreeable conclusion. And yeah, it was fun. I got to know my friend more and her perspective and her views in life. That’s all I want to say.

After reading the topic, a certain memory popped into my mind, and I'd like to highlight that. To start with, I had this very interesting discussion with a friend regarding marriage. It was a discussion about whether it is ideal to get married at the age of 30 or earlier than that. My point was, or I debated that it's better to get married at the age of 30 because a person is more mature and more stable at that age. To be more detailed, at 30, most people are financially stable, emotionally ready, and physically prepared to bear a child for women and to take full responsibility for men. However, my friend believed otherwise. She argued that it is better to get married earlier to have kids early, so you can still see your grandchildren in the future or something like that. After a very long discussion, we concluded that it was just a matter of preference. It depends on a person, or it depends on how ready a person is.
