Whether it is Kabir Bedi, Sanjay Dutt, Neena Gupta, Milind Soman or Saif Ali Khan, all of them married in their late 40s or 50s and are living a happy and contented life. These celebrity weddings prove that love can happen late in life too and there should not be any race against time to get married. Contrary to the societal belief that one should get married before turning 30, these personalities found love in the most unexpected age and time of their lives. In fact, settling down with the love of your life late in life can be advantageous because there will no fake peer pressure you would need to live up to.

Once you are in your late 40s or 50s, marriage union will only happen because of extreme love for each other.

All they need is pure companionship risen out of love. And that is the true essence of marriage which is why mostly second marriages are more successful.

In young age, we all have insecurities related to our growth, freedom, partner and life and they convert into point of contentions at different stages in life, hampering the young married life.

All those adventurous moments do not matter anymore as you age and you tend to focus only on more important things in a partnership. The advantage is that you are not yearning anymore for night outs, parties, trips and so on.
