I had thought I would be a single woman in the working world for at LEAST 3ish years. I thought my future husband and I would have large savings to buy a house (in the OC) and would start our family in surban bliss. Nope. I'm 29 and about to pop with baby #3 renting a condo. Love that Nujood made you think of the expectations of age and marriage! .-= kara-noel´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.elislids.com/surfers-healing-cowabunga-dude/" rel="nofollow">Surfers Healing – Cowabunga Dude!</a> =-.

Definitely way before I had intended to. I imagined being single into my thirties and then settling down. But when you meet the right person, you just have to roll with it. It is hard being a 'young bride', sometimes I wonder if I missed out on some single fun. Luckily I picked early but picked a keeper, he has allowed me to be whoever I want to be, 20 or 30. We seem to manage to grow back together if life ever managed to force is to grow apart. I think it is 50% luck, 50% hard work. .-= Torie Black´s last blog ..<a href="http://manhattanforbetterorworse.blogspot.com/2010/06/power-of-independent-thought.html" rel="nofollow">Book Club: I am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced</a> =-.

I think pre-30 is young because you're still finding yourself. Though, people find themselves at different times, but I believe, generally speaking, it's around age 30. The people who got married at 23 and stayed married for a long time are the lucky ones who grew together in the same manner. Unfortunately, the early 20's are such a time of change, that the odds are that you will grow apart, not in the same direction. I didn't believe my mom when she told me that at 18, but I believe it now. I spent most of my 20's in a relationship that didn't work out, and when it ended, and I was 29, I had to start over. But first, I had to figure out who I was. I wonder if I would have found my true self sooner if I didn't spend 6 years with someone. And I would have been married at 31 or so. Not getting married this summer at 37. Eek! ha ha. I often end up in the “what’s the right age to marry” conversation with friends. I think pre-30 is young because you’re still finding yourself.
