It appears a phenomenon in our society that many a forty or over forty years old woman is a typical fashionable woman who dares to love, speak out and face herself, and many of them have become role models for many young girls. This typical kind of woman depicts love, marriage, sex, and outlook on life in a naked and outspoken way. Nevertheless, our society especially likes to curry favor with men’s opinions, women’s are usually seen as scrap. Some women even moan that when they have opinions at variance with men’s, they will take the risk of being named by them as “bitch”. As though moaned as they are, many women dare to do whatever they want regardless of the eyes of society or men, some women marry men who are a lot younger than them while some are even daring enough to admit their different sexual orientation.

When a forty or over forty years old woman reads the marriage vows, she will probably cry at that moment. The reason is she finds every word in the marriage vows is so ‘big’ that makes her have all sorts of feelings well up in her heart to touch her emotionally, and every word is ‘life’ to her, moving her to tears!

Looking at some younger couples who read the marriage vows not only don’t cry but laugh. What’s the explanation? The answer is a matter of age. People must have life experiences before they know to cherish, appreciate, and be grateful, like a forty years old woman crying when she literally reads the words in the marriage vows. Therefore, I think getting married at an older age is definitely not a bad thing. On the contrary, when a couple is young, they lack life experience; they don’t know how to grab the communication skills; they don’t know how to properly get along with people; they don’t know how to appreciate, cherish, and be grateful – all these are tremendously required in a marriage.
