[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The age you are when you find your forever mate.[/quote]

I lived in a place where everyone was desperate to find their spouse in college when I was college aged (all the good ones will be taken!!!!) and remember feeling like a failure because there was no one in my life I even wanted a proposal from.  Then I moved to a place where that mentality was ruthlessly mocked and everyone waited until they were near 30 to get married.  I got married at 34, here.

I can say that of the people who got married in a wave at 21 in my college state, those who got married in the 27-30 wave mentioned above, and those that waited until even later --- there are good marriages and bad.  There are divorces out of each bunch, and marriages that look like hell from the outside.  There are also people who seem perfect for each other and very happy.  Because the age isn't what matters, it's the person.

That said, I'm a little envious of people who found the person earlier, just because it's been so financially advantageous to combine our lives.  Sometimes I think of how much further ahead we'd be if we had started 6 years ago down this path. But that's life![/quote]
