As for me, I met my DH at 34 and was married at 35. He was 36/37. Married over 20 years.


I’m the PP who married at 25. Born and raised in the DMV. And no I’m not a SAHM. Went to a T14 and practice in Big Law.


I’m the one above you from DC. Also have always worked/had a career. I’m a Fed.

I think it might be something of selection bias. If you meet very young, you are more likely to contribute than if you think I'm just like everyone else.


Lots of us didn’t move here until after we were already married. We met at 19 and married at 22. Moved to DC at 25.
