For Christians, it’s always best to marry whenever God brings you your spouse. He knows far better than any studies.

Amen. I always find these sorts of threads a little frustrating, because those who *did* meet spouses young will show up and say "Yes! Of course!" when the reality is that people don't generally just sit down and decide they'll get married in the next year or two, without having someone in mind. It just doesn't work that way.

I'm thirty-one and single. And sometimes, it can be really a downer. I was one of those Catholic gals who hoped to be married at twenty-one or twenty-two and have a bunch of kids straight off. Didn't happen, but I wasn't as though I actively said, "Hey, I'd rather just work and do my own thing than get married and have kids."

At worst, I guess, I'll get to be the crazy spinster aunt to my growing number of nieces and nephews. ;-) Could be worse.
