[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had friends get engaged in college. Both are divorced, but they would have gotten divorced at any age. Both were very unhealthy emotionally, and one got married because she got pregnant.

Having had two geriatric pregnancies, Is encourage younger women to marry when they find the right man and get pregnant as soon as they feel ready. I had to wait because I didn’t find the right man until later, and I’m glad I did. My friends who delayed pregnancy for financial or personal  reasons then spent $$$ on IVF. They’ve all expressed how awful IVF was. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.[/quote]

OP here. I married at 25...waited 3 yrs before thinking about having kids...don't regret because I feel newlyweds need alone time before kids (especially if they didn't live together prior or only met after college like I did). I was only 28 but still had fertility issues. Twins born just before turning 31.

I honestly see DD married around same time I was...she won't need the 3 yrs married alone time though as they are HS/College sweethearts and have traveled already and done much together. So probably starting a family right after marriage.

My post was mainly to see if this is a trend and if so, is it tied in any way to the pandemic yrs? A generation knowing how quickly life can change and how precious life is....to live in the moment more.[/quote]
