[Mr. Jeeves]

I support early marriage - for those mature enough. Humans were designed to raise children in their twenties when they have the energy, not at 38 when it fits some feminist's corporate ladder timetable.

I have a very "corporate" successful female friend who waited until 37 and she is hating life with her two-month-old right now. I have other female friends who are still single in their early to mid-40's and can't yet manage to admit to themselves that it is too late.

First DO NOT ASSUME it is “some feminist’s corporate ladder timetable.” or that 38 or even 43 is too old.

Sometimes, like with us, we were told we could not have children, we tried for years. We went to specialists, had miscarriages etc. Finally we gave up. And God laughed. I had my daughter at 43 - 3 months before our 20th wedding anniversary and I am LOVING life chasing after my 1 year old. BTW, I am a successful business owner who retired early - so I have the income and time that my younger friends do not.
