I will be disappointed if any of my children fail to get married, and I strongly encouraged them to start looking at about age 20 with an eye to a lifelong marriage. None will find the perfect man/woman for them, but they should be able to find someone who aspires to be the perfect marriage partner for them . . . if they also aspire to that status for their partners.

Marry at age 30-plus, and your odds of finding someone who values marriage and wants children go way down. Those who want those things are already married. Marry at age 18, and you have to get lucky to notice the right reasons with hormones raging. In between, perhaps from age 19-29, is the best time to look.

Too late for me, then!

Then again, I doubt that it would have gone well for me.
