[quote=Anonymous]Two examples I can think of are a little later than you’re thinking of: married at 26 and 27.  But very different stories.

One dated around in college and was drifting after, working non career jobs while trying to make it as an actress.  She broke up with her most serious college boyfriend soon after graduation (he was premed and didn’t have a sense of humour or interests in the arts).  She met her future husband when he was teching a show she was in and knew immediately he was special.  They married a few years later.  They’re still happily married 25 years later.  So In her case?  It was just good luck.

Other friend was raised religious (Catholic) so I think marriage has always been something she knew she wanted.  She had a serious college relationship that ended with being cheated on her junior year and I think that freaked her out a bit since she felt like she was running out of time.  After graduating and being a job she started doing online dating with an agenda.  I don’t think she put that she wanted to get married in her profile but she was absolutely vetting dates for whether they were grown up and serious about adult milestones like buying a house etc like she was.  She set aside every other Friday for date night and went out with people she matched with until she met someone she thought would work.  Three years later, they got married and still going strong 10 years in, having flostered two kids and adopted one.

So as per usual: effort and luck.[/quote]
