[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I married at 36, had three children between 37 and 44.   The OP is absolutely right.

If I could rewrite my life (and no one can), I'd spend 20 to 25 living easy, date with intent to marry at 25, marry around 27 and start procreating at 30. It worked out for us due to sheer luck of fertility but I would have liked to be a younger parent. [/quote]

I hope you don't kiss your husband with those lips!

Joking - but of course the thing is that you can only plan so much. You can date with intention as much as you like - and still either not get married, or marry someone you don't really like being with, or whatever. It's not like it's just *math*. And you see how well these "had to get married because we were the right ages" marriages go - some good, some bad, but it's not like a guarantee of a happy life. It's not even a guarantee of health and wealth.

I think the whole point OP was making was that you start to date with an intent to marry at 22.  It may never happen.  Stars may not line up.  But do not be closed to the idea if you meet the right person.[/quote]

I think PP is projecting or a little naive. I knew many men and women in college who were quite blunt about their desire to meet a spouse in college, marry soon after, and begin a life together. And they did just that.[/quote]
