    I really think 40-50 is the "ideal" time to get married.

    Yeah, nice work if you can get it.

    Just wait, there comes a time when you become invisible as a woman and the only blokes left that want to get married want to marry 25 year olds or have been married upteen times or are so set in their ways that you're screwed anyway.
    NOPE!!!

    oh and to the OP, I think a lot of people feel the need to define themselves when they're young. Set up the life they think they should have.
    There are people that get engaged and married young and are very successful and happy in their choice but it's not for everyone.
    Guess you just have to go with what you think is your best option.
    NOPE!!!

    I agree, they feel they need to prortray success right away. I think its just being insecure.

    Well I don't know that's always the case. I think for some yes. For others, I think they have an urge to make a family for themselves and define their path in life early. No stats or anything but I've found that a lot of people of divorced parents seem to want to get married young. It doesn't work in a lot of cases but I understand the need they have.
    If you think about it, it's scary when you realize that you are now an adult and it's your life. I think a lot of people freak out when they realize that and feel the need to do what they think they're supposed to.
    NOPE!!!

    what do they think the benefits of getting married are going to be though? they day after they get married, their lives are going to be exactly the same as the day before.

    Well yes, but that's not how it works. It's to recreate the family situation that you didn't have growing up.
    NOPE!!!
