[quote=Anonymous]So far so good for me.  DH and I married when I was 23 and he was 26.  I was in law school and he was just starting his career.  We had our first kid around the time of our 5 year anniversary.  Getting married younger was awesome.  We were able to enjoy married life without the stress of kids. We worked hard (I was in biglaw and DH was in an equally demanding field where he was able to work his way up) and we played hard (lots of fun international vacations with each other and with our friends).  I was 28 when we had kiddo #1, I moved to a well-paying inhouse gig (a unicorn job!) and DH is one of the top executives in his company.  We had many friends who were closer to DH's age (early 30s) who were having kids, so we did not feel isolated at all.  I just turned 30 and am pregnant with #2.  No idea if we want a third yet - but atleast we dont feel at all rushed to decide!

I did not plan to get married young, but it has worked out wonderfully.  Those 5 years without kids really solidified our marriage! And while we continue to travel and hang out with friends, it's certainly more kid-focused and we're fine with that and loving this phase of life!!

Your 20s is a great time to travel, pursue hobbies, and spend time partying with friends. But its also the best time to hustle in school/career and start thinking about a family. Finding a partner early allowed me to do both so that when it was time to start a family we could pull the trigger pretty quickly!
