Love makes people’s life prettier but it doesn’t mean that people cannot live a beautiful life without love. A happy marriage is considered as the best result of a pretty love, but nowadays, more and more people are getting married later than before, why? There are some reasons to answer to this question.
First, people are getting busier and busier with their modern life and works. The society is developing days by days so that people have to move forward, work and re-new themselves more and more in order to not be backward with others and the society. Young people work harder to ensure for a bright future with a high social status that they can use as a tool to make their life happier and more comfortable when they get older. They spend almost their day times in offices, factories or laboratories; especially in developed countries such as Japan, salary men and workers start their days early and don’t go home unless they make sure that all the works of that day have been done. It’s not too hard and too surprising for you to find and see the crowded last trains of day in the big cities of Japan. They have no time for dating and even for their basic private necessaries for their life. And marriage maybe is just in their dream.
Second, every person has their own life; family situation and finance situation sometimes effect to people’s marriage. Some people cannot get marriage when they are young for some family situations. For example, the elder sisters or brothers have to take care of their younger ones, old parents, and sometimes also people in their relatives. They spend almost their young ages for their family and get older and older when their younger sisters and brothers grow up. Besides, in some old style families, the men who are the elder or the leader often have heavy responsibilities with their family. And finding a person who can understand them and share their responsibilities is not easy, because maybe sometimes that person has to be agreed by all the members of the family. In another side, some young people want to get marriage but they don’t have a good finance situation as the older, they don’t have enough money to celebrate their marriage and they cannot ensure for their life after that. That causes their chances less times to times.
Third, some people just want to enjoy their life as their ways such as travel, parties with friends when they are young, so that they don’t want to get marriage early. This reason is very different from the two above ones but it’s not rare. They work hard and after that they enjoy their results as a present for life. People in this type don’t care about marriage much and lot of them don’t get marriage even they are young or old, with them, life is like adventures for them to discover and there are more interesting things than marriage.
In conclusion, the development of the society, family situation and finance situation, and private hobbies are three of reasons why people are getting marriage later and later nowadays. Getting marriage late helps people to able to concentrate to their goals of life, gives them more time to do their hobbies when they are young. But beside that, it also brings trouble to people too, such as the later they get marriage the harder they can become pregnant and give birth, especially older women. Anyway, getting marriage or not is freedom, but it’s also the most important thing in every people’s life, so they should have a smart choice for this matter.

Generally the age of marriage depends on the education level of the couple and the development situation of the country. The more educated the couple are the later they married. And the more developed a country is the later the couples married.
I don't think it is good for the society or for the would be children. But the marriages of teenager couples are disadvantageous, too.
I think late marriage just exists in big cities when everyone are always busy with their works. In my countryside, they get marriage too early too, but I don't know if they really want or be obeyed by their parents.
In my town the situations is different than your conclusions. People here are more traditional and puts the main things (love, marriage, kids etc.) in front of the others like a social status and so on. Accordingly, they get married earlier. In my opinion marriage and kids are the crown of your life, but you should never tie your habits and wishes.
I've notced the trend here in China, too. I wonder if they are still trying to find the right man or woman to marry.
I hate the feeling that marriage won't be must any more, though.
I don't believe much in marriage and don't think it's really necessary or important. Maybe I'll regret later, who knows :)
Konnichiwa kix. In my country the situation is very similar. People get married much later than before. Young couples live together and often have children without getting married. It was almost impossible before.
