Vijay Deverakonda & Rashmika wedding: Should marriage after 35+ be normalised?

Everyone’s favourite couple, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, finally tied the knot in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends. The couple, fondly called ‘ViRosh’ by fans, had long been the subject of relationship speculation before officially beginning this new chapter together. 

Vijay, now 35+, steps into marriage at a mature and well-established phase of his career, balancing stardom with personal commitment. Their union marks a significant milestone both personally and professionally, bringing together two of South Indian cinema’s most celebrated and influential stars in a much-anticipated wedding.

Marrying after 35 as a man can be a very different experience compared to marrying in your 20s. It often comes with greater clarity — but also some trade-offs. Here’s a balanced look at the pros and cons:

✅ Pros of Marrying After 35

1. Greater Emotional Maturity
By 35+, most men better understand their values, priorities, and relationship expectations. You’re less likely to marry due to pressure or impulse.

2. Financial Stability
Career and income are often more stable. This reduces early marital stress around money, housing, or lifestyle expectations.

3. Clearer Partner Selection
You usually know what you want — and what you don’t. That can mean better compatibility and fewer unrealistic expectations.

4. Stronger Communication Skills
Life experience often improves conflict handling, patience, and emotional regulation.

5. Established Identity
You’ve likely built your own lifestyle, habits, and independence — which can make you less insecure or overly dependent in marriage.

❌ Cons of Marrying After 35

1. Reduced Flexibility
People become more set in their ways. Adjusting to shared routines, compromises, or new family systems can be harder.

2. Fertility Timeline Pressure
If you want children, biological timelines (especially partner’s age) may create urgency or stress.

3. Smaller Dating Pool
By mid-30s, many compatible partners may already be married, divorced, or have children — depending on your preferences.

4. Strong Individual Habits
Long bachelor life can make it difficult to adapt to shared responsibilities or emotional accountability.

5. Social Expectations
Family and society may create pressure, making the decision feel rushed rather than intentional.

⚖️ Reality Check

There’s no “perfect age” to marry. Research consistently shows that:
Emotional readiness and compatibility matter more than age.
Financial and psychological stability improve marital satisfaction.
Marrying too early without clarity often increases divorce risk.
Many men today marry after 35 and build strong, stable families — especially when the decision is intentional rather than reactive.
