Teen sensation Justin Bieber already has marriage on the mind, reports People. When asked where he sees himself in five years, the 17-year-old pop singer told Women’s Wear Daily, “By 25 or 26, I want to see myself, like, married or start looking for a family. I want to be a young dad. I want to be able to have done what I wanted to do — to be successful, to do a movie or whatever.”
Is age a factor when it comes to marriage?
Cupid’s Advice:
Though the age-old mantra “age is just a number” often holds merit, it’s important to take age into consideration when committing to marriage. Here are a few things to consider before making a decision:
1. Future experiences: When you truly love someone, you shouldn’t feel like you’re giving anything up. When you marry, you potentially forever rule out any future relationships.  At a young age, you are giving up a lot of future relationships. Be sure that you don’t feel as though you’re missing out.
2. Your goals: When you’re young, you don’t always have your priorities set in stone. You may mature and decide to take your life in a different direction. Be confident with your place in life before marrying.
3. The age of your partner: Though you may be the rare young person who is mentally prepared for a marriage, your partner may not be. Make sure that your partner is as ready as you are for this commitment.
