Scottish couples expecting to get hitched this year should pay attention to a divorce lawyer's expert guidance about the perfect age to make the solemn vow. The lawyer has shared the exact age couples should get married - and it’s probably older than you would expect.
You may suspect the ideal age would be in your late twenties, perhaps? However, that is not the case according to TikTok user Denise Isaacs.
The Florida-based lawyer specialises in divorce, and made the claim on the video app, reports Birmingham Live.
Denise said: “It’s a better idea for you to get married in your 30s. You’ve gone through all the changes and you are more settled. You come into your own in your 30s, and I think that’s a very good time to get married.”
She said: “I got married when I was 30 and I’m married for 41 years now.”
A TikTok user rushed to reply, saying: “I wish I knew this earlier.”
And a second agreed, writing: “100 correct. Got married at 20, my ex was 25….Divorced at 35.” But a third commented: “I think it’s not about the age you marry it’s about marrying the right person.”
“There needs to be trust and truthfulness in the marriage, in the financial decisions,” the expert continued. “They need to know what each other has, and they need to know how financially they are going to run a budget.”
In a final warning to homeowners tying the knot, she continued: “Do not put your spouse’s name on the title. Even if you are getting a mortgage and the mortgage company seems to tell you that you have to put your wife on the title, you don’t.”
