[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a weird question.

I also think it's weird that people think you ideally postpone marriage so that you can do things like establish your career first.  I'm struggling to see why being with a great partner would negatively impact your career?

I think some of you see a spouse as nothing more than a strategic tool to get financial stability or a committed womb, depending on your gender.  [/quote]

Well, in my case, my career success depended in part on being able to move anywhere for my first job. I had no interest in my 20s in having to find a partner who would move for me, or negotiate that with someone who wasn't willing. Once I got where I was going to be, I turned more of my attention to dating. I married a little later than I think is ideal (I was 34), but at that point I didn't feel at all conflicted about having another person's life to take into account when making decisions.

I do think if you marry very young, like right after high school or college, it's more like you grow up together and make decisions as one entity. I was definitely not mature enough to be married that young, though.[/quote]
