[quote=Anonymous]Two of my late 20s colleagues just got married. (Not to each other)

I met my DH in college, we dated all of our 20s and married when I was 29 (10 years after we started dating.) We had our kids when I was 33 and 38. Among my closest college friends one had parents who married at 19 and waited to have her in their late 20s - she married at 27 and had kids right away. (My own parents married in late 20s / early 30s and my grandparents were all in their early 30s.) Another married at 24 and had kids right away and a third got married at 34 and had kids a few years later. So even back then (and a generation before) there was a lot of variation.

In terms of meeting/ marrying young, I think you can settle at a young age too (it’s not just older people who settle). My DH is kind and smart and funny and an awesome dad. I could tell family was a priority for him and that was important for me. But both the other people I dated were physically more attractive and I know many men who make higher salaries. My husband is cute enough for me and makes enough for what we need (I also work / have a good salary) and I tended to worry if I went after something like someone more attractive I’d lose the humor or the kindness or some other trait that mattered more to me.
