Amish people generally marry young
Traditionally, the Amish tend to marry at a relatively young age compared to broader societal norms.
Marriage is considered an important and central aspect of Amish life, viewed as a commitment to building a family and community. Typically, it occurs in the late teens to early twenties.
Since the Amish predominantly rely on agriculture and handcraft practices for their livelihood, marriage can be seen as a practical step toward building a productive and sustainable household.
It is important to highlight that the Amish need permission to get married, and this is only given after they are baptized, which usually occurs sometime after their 18th birthday. The permission for marriage is granted by another member of the church.
