[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we so concerned if they’re getting married in their 20s? Statistically they are much less likely to divorce if they marry at 30+.

DC is generally populated with highly educated intelligent people but these recent threads really belie that - parents, grab a brain and stop thinking it’s a negative that your kids aren’t getting married and procreating under 30. if they do, you’ll be on here in 10 years, lamenting their blended family situation with the grandkids because the marriages won’t last.

It’s a lot harder to find a good spouse once you leave the college/grad school lifestyle. Yes it happens for some, but it’s basically OLD or colleagues after that. There will never again be as many academic/intellectual peers in your life again once you leave school.  So even if you don’t marry then, it’s still good to have found the person by then. [/quote]

Disagree. I was living my best life in my early 20s and did not want/thought about settling down until my late 20s.

At 28, I met the one, got married at 30 and had a our first kid a year later. We've been together for over 20 years.

I encourage young adult (and my teen) to live life and settle around 30. [/quote]
