From birth the children were taught by their mothers how to fight. When they were 8 they were taken away and put them in a 'school' where they fought each other. When the boys turned 20 they were put into the Spartan military. At the age of 30 they could marry and have children, but that did not mean they got to leave the military. If they lived long enough, they would retire from the military at age 60. The girls stayed home and learned skills from there mothers to teach to their children so the next generation would know how to fight.
