No Real Retirement Age
People in Amish communities usually begin cutting back from their normal lives between ages 50 and 70. This is also dependent on their physical state. They tend to move to a designated grandparent’s house which is located on their family’s property. Older people in good health condition usually stay working around the house and the woman in the family take care of them when their health declines.

Baptism
Between the ages of 16-25, Amish get baptized into their church. Before that, the person isn’t allowed to marry yet. Only a person belonging to the same church can marry them. Not to mention, it tends to happen fast. Compared to other forms of Christianity, this is pretty interesting. Since for the most part, it’s the parents’ decision to baptize their baby. However, in the Amish community, people decide on their own to get baptized into the church or leave. They don’t baptize children since they aren’t old enough to make the decision on their own.
