Abstract

The researchers used the descriptive exploratory type of study. The respondents for this study were composed of 110 residents in barangay Bayan Luma Imus, Cavite. Fifty of them are married at an early age and sixty men married at a late age. The questionnaire was developed by the researcher. The statistical treatment used in the study was mean, and t-test. Men married at an early age in terms of social experiences are found to be sociable. This is so because they can adapt to different social gatherings and the can relate to different people. In terms of behavioral experiences, men married at an early age can perform their responsibilities better as a husband and father mainly because they want to prove that have an ideal family in spite of marring at an early age; Men married at a late age in terms of social experiences are found to be sociable. Mainly because they have matured and are secured enough with their family and friends. In terms of behavioral experiences findings revealed that at a late age one can assume their responsibilities regarding the financial, physical, spiritual, and emotional aspects because they are mature grown ups; Based on the findings, it was revealed that there exist no significant differences between the social and behavioral experiences of man marrying at an early age and at a late age. This implies that the experiences of both men marring at an early age and at a late age were the same, therefore, acceptance of the null hypothesis exits.
