[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Not a Duggar, just reserved by nature. I know I'm only 27, but I want to think ahead and have my ducks in a row. I already have the degrees, income, domestic skills, etc. Just want the complete picture.[/quote]

Be careful. I have seen too many friends reaching for that picture of 2.5 kids a dog and a husband and the results have been nothing short of a nightmare. Why not figure out what is going to work for you and not trying to attain this picture that society tells us we have to have. Maybe you don't have kids till your 35, maybe you don't have them at all, maybe you adopt. Maybe your husband isn't exactly the same age, maybe older , hell maybe younger. Maybe different race or culture, maybe not so reserved. Open your avenues of options and ask yourself why you are looking for a husband.

I had a friend who had a plan and she stuck to it, married by a certain age, X number of children by a certain age. Now so miserable she can barely talk, husband is face down in porn most of the time and kids are acting out. She knew about the porn before being married, she knew before they married that he wasn't really motivated to work or have the education to pull in big salary and it was going to be on her mostly. The reality of all this 8 yrs later is a little bit much to take but she is where she is cause she had a "Plan" that she was determined to see implemented. She would have been a great general in a war ,but this marriage is a war in itself that she started[/quote]
