[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met my spouse in college.  My dad joked that I should be sure to pick up an MRS when I was there but it wasn't a consideration when choosing a college.[/quote]

Ha!  My dad had the same conversation with me the day before I left for college.  As it turns out, I did meet my husband in college but, as another poster also related, we didn't marry until I was 28 and he was 29.  I know people in our generation (we're in our 50's now) started marrying later, we were among the first in our set to get married, and many of our friends didn't marry until their mid-30's but I wonder if the pendulum will start to swing back some.

It is funny to think about now because we have two in college this year to be joined by a third next year.  We find ourselves wondering each time we hear about a new love interest if 'this is the one'?  We're not in a rush to have them get married but we wouldn't not support it if they seemed compatible.  On the other hand, I remember that letter/article from the Princeton grad five or ten years ago that caused such a stir and I wonder if she is right on some level?

I also don't think that going to an all-women's school necessarily precludes meeting young men.  I don't have any experience in this but I do know maybe 5-6 women who attended women's colleges and are married now.  In fact one such couple, in their 30's, lives down the block from us.[/quote]
