Central Argument: There is a certain point where one should get married; this is after one's youth when they've gone out and "done" things, and when one can take their responsibilities of marriage and transfer it as a positive objective.
During my winter break, my mother told me a story about how my grandparents had asked her to stop working before she got married to my father. During the proposal and the engagement between my mother and my father, my mother was working as a single woman in a company called ICIMOD, an NGO that helps build roads in rural areas across Nepal. My mother had completed her Bachelors degree in English Language and Literature, and made her way to working in an NGO. She was a pretty well off Nepali woman during that time period. She had gotten many proposals from well-reputed families, but she refused each one of those offers. Though her parents believed that getting married off to a well-reputed family would make her life, she believed differently; she believed that her life would be made if she stood on her own two feet. She then met my dad, who came from an extremely well known family. His father, my grandfather, was the governor of Rastra Bank in Nepal, and believed that his daughter-in-law didn't need to work to sustain herself as she would be part of such a family. My mother felt offended with this statement made to her and stated that she didn't care if she didn't marry my father. She had no emotional attachments to him during that time, and believed that her single life was the time where she would "make a difference in the world" and contribute to society as much as she can. Sir Frances Bacon, like my mother, believed that there was a certain point when people should get married. This point is when they've used their youth to go out and "do" things and when they believe that their married life responsibilities will allow them to contribute positively to society. I agree with Bacon, as Juno from Juno shows us the sacrifice she made to become a better citizen of society, and as both Obama and his wife, Michelle, show us the balance between raising children and leading a country can contribute positively to society.
Juno MacGuff from the movie Juno is the sacrificial character when she gives up her child to a couple, so that she can excel in school, go and further her education, and contribute her ideas to society in a positive manner. Juno becomes impregnated by best friend and long time admirer. Whilst discovering her pregnancy, she considers giving up the child for adoption but then later decides to bring the child into the world and give him/her for adoption. She finds a well off family and decides on a closed adoption. She grows close the the couple who she decides to entrust her child to. Whilst growing close to the couple, she slowly starts realizing that their marriage is falling apart. She does everything she can to try and stop the couple from breaking up, partly because she doesn't want her child to go through this kind of lifestyle. But goes out and tries to stop a failing marriage. She tries to bring a family close together and then she goes out and tries to create a family of her own. She tries to build relationships with those important to her. She sacrifices the life she could have with her child so that she would be able to give her child a better life than one she would provide. She goes out and tells her baby's father, and her long time friend, how she feels about him. She shows him how much she cares about him and starts creating a "family" of her own. She gives her life with the child up, so that she can further her education, becoming a better student, a better citizen, and a better person for her child's world by studying and furthering her knowledge.
On the other hand, Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, furthers Bacon's argument about marriage responsibility bringing out the positive contributions to society. We all know the power couple, Barack and Michelle Obama, as household names all over the world. We know how much influence and strength they have all over the world. They seem to balance their lives out the best way they can. The couple has two children, whom they have to raise in a positive manner. This is their responsibility as a married couple. They reciprocate this responsibility whilst governing a nation. They have to be able to groom the country, teach them what is right and what is wrong, guide them in decision making, and try to make them the best people, and the best nation, they can possibly be. They use the techniques they use to raise their kids to govern the nation. They take the responsibilities of married life and contribute positively to society.
The day and age we live in today, people are not too worried about marriage and agree mostly with the idea that one's youth is to go out and "do" things, but there are still places in the world where marriage is looked at as a sacred ritual which every person should "get to experience." But I believe that there is a right time to get married, this time is when things have been achieved, and when your experiences and responsibilities in married life, make you a better person of society.
