女人什么時候結(jié)婚最合適?

        The Magic Number

　　There are practical reasons for the mid-20s dividing line, and most of them boil down to two biggies: education and money. Turns out, the more years of higher education a woman has under her belt on her wedding day, the lower the chances that she'll get divorced ... and by 25, you're more likely to have earned a degree or two. "Educated women tend to be more confident about who they are and less willing to settle for a man who doesn't meet their standards," explains Terri Orbuch, Ph.D., author of Five Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage From Good to Great.

　　神奇的數(shù)字

　　以25歲作為一個結(jié)婚的分水嶺是有一定的現(xiàn)實理由的，這些理由的絕大部分都可以歸結(jié)于兩大因素：受教育程度和金錢。其結(jié)論是，一個女人受到高等教育的年數(shù)越多，其離婚的可能性就越低。到了25的時候，你很可能已經(jīng)獲得了1個或者2個學(xué)位了?！?個步驟使你的婚姻從良好走向完美》一書的作者特里奧布奇博士說：“受過良好教育的女人往往更了解自己需要什么，所以不會選擇那些不符合自己標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的男人。”

　　Odds are that by 25 you're also supporting yourself, so there's less incentive for you to rush into marriage because you're seeking financial security from him.But the marriage-related benefits of working and having money of your own go beyond feeling secure, says Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D., author of Finding Your Perfect Match. Learning to budget your cash carefully when you're single will help you avoid financial problems — one of the main causes of couple fights — for the rest of your life. And juggling responsibilities, dealing with differing personalities, and resolving conflicts on the job force you to develop skills that are necessary for maintaining long-term love.

　　這也可能是，等到了25歲，你便可以養(yǎng)活自己了，所以也就不急著需要一個婚姻里去尋求男人在經(jīng)濟上給予的保障。但是，《找到你的完美婚姻》一書的作者派帕施瓦辛格博士說，與婚姻有關(guān)的好處，比如工作和自己賺到的錢，會超越這種感覺上的保障。當(dāng)你還是單身的時候，給自己的消費做好預(yù)算，能夠避免你今后的生活出現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟問題，而這也是夫妻雙方出現(xiàn)爭吵的最主要原因。至于逃避責(zé)任，與各種不同性格的人打交道，處理工作上的矛盾等事情，都會迫使你培養(yǎng)出那些為維持一段長期婚姻所需要的技能。
