The timing of when a marriage partner appears is the first condition for determining marriage, because without a partner, there can be no marriage. If the couple's star appears early, and there are no other adverse factors affecting the marriage, then the marriage time is earlier; if the couple's star appears late, even without other adverse factors, the marriage time is relatively later.
In a man's Ba Zi, the correct wealth (Zheng Cai) or in a woman's Ba Zi, the correct official (Zheng Guan) appearing in the year pillar, if it is exposed on the stem, has roots in the branch, or is supported, receives the energy of the month, and is not damaged, then it can be considered as a strong and powerful couple's star. Generally, the marriage time is earlier, around the age of 22; for women, the marriage time is generally before 20 years old.
If the couple's star appears in the month pillar, is exposed on the stem, has roots, is supported, and is not damaged, the general marriage time for men is before 26 years old, and for women before 24 years old;
If the couple's star appears in the hour pillar, the marriage time is usually later, with men getting married around 30 years old or later, and women after 28 years old. If the couple's star appears in the day or month branch, the man's marriage time is about 26 years old, but not delayed beyond 30 years old; the woman's marriage time is about 24 years old, but not beyond 28 years old.

(1) The spouse star is in poor condition; for a man, the spouse star is the wealth star, and for a woman, it is the official star. These spouse stars should not be too many, otherwise it is easy to be indecisive, which is what the ancients called "uncertain marriage"; being strong and vigorous is sufficient. They should also not be absent, otherwise it is difficult to foresee a suitable person. Even if they appear in the years or运势, they often cannot enter the fate chart, or it is difficult to grasp them, and they disappear once the luck passes, making it hard to grasp. Therefore, the marriage may come late. At the same time, the spouse star should not be too weak, such as suffering from severe punishment, conflict, or being in a tomb, and not being revealed. If the spouse star is too many, it is a problem, and the marriage time will be later, often after the age of 36, regardless of gender, leading to late marriage and poor compatibility.
(2) The day master is weak; if a man has too many food ghosts or officials, or a woman has too much wealth or food ghosts, this is a problem for marriage, and the marriage time is often after 32 years old. This problem mainly manifests in the weak day master, which is unable to bear the wealth and officials, so the marriage comes late. Usually, the marriage time requires going through a strong day master luck period to cure the illness, and only then can the marriage occur, otherwise the marriage is delayed.
(3) The Ba Zi suffers great damage; for example, the couple's star (palace) encounters serious conflicts, clashes, destruction, or damage; or the husband's star palace experiences serious union, especially situations with many competing unions. In such cases, the marriage time is also late. When the marriage time is affected by conflict, it generally needs the great luck or the flow year to meet the union direction, and the time when the disease is cured is the appropriate time; if the union is the disease, then the opposite applies.
(4) People with many "enemy stars" of the husband's star in their Ba Zi also have late marriage times; for a man, the enemy stars of the wife's star are the brothers and sisters (Bi Jian and Jie Cai), and having too many of these becomes a problem for marriage; especially those who have a channel in the chart where the brothers/sisters restrict or destroy the wealth star, which is even more serious. Similarly, for a woman, having too many food ghosts and injury stars also has the same effect.
