We had 3 kids in 2 years (twins in there) in our very late 30’s ... everyone survived pretty well. When and if one marries really depends on the people involved. I’d recommend neither marrying early or late, but being very selective in WHO one marries, and being sure that both are mature enough at whatever age. One of my 3 is marrying at 25, the others aren’t yet ready for that commitment.
When I was in my early 40, carting my 3 toddlers around, another - much younger - mother asked how I did it. My reply was simple: I knew just how quickly their childhood would pass. I would not have had that perspective as a 20-something. So, I was able to thoroughly enjoy every last second of my kids’ childhood.

That's one big reason that I am happy we didn't have kids in our 20's. I know that we would not have appreciated them as much as we will now in our 30's. BTW - I have #1 on the way at age 33 and I am not even close to being the oldest among my circle of friends in starting a family.
