No one asked me. |
I’m from an affluent background where a lot of people marry young. I got married at 28, but certainly don’t pity people who get married out of college. There is something special about young love and they get to grow up together. It’s about when you meet the right person and are mature enough to make that commitment. Marrying out of high school does seem way too young though. |
Married at 34 and I didn’t plan it that way, it’s just how it happened.

This. It’s not a race. |
NP here. Come on. It's stupid to wait three extra years to get married-- in your mid to late 30s -- for Great Aunt Whatever to get a visa. That's dumb. If you need that time for yourself, fine. |
The affluent generally marry later, with a few exceptions. But even then the affluent marry later than poor people of a similar religion/culture. For example, my mother’s family is educated, fairly affluent, and LDS. They generally wait until right after undergrad to marry. But if you don’t go to college, you might marry even earlier. |
I had LTR boyfriends in and after college, but none of them wanted to get married at that age. None of them married till they were in their late 30s/early 40s. Met my husband at 36, got married at 37, and had my first child at 38. He was 6 years older and was looking for a wife and wanted kids. |
