"Marry young, then spend your best years squirting out babies" makes sense if you live on an underpopulated frontier or the author's metaphorical Russian landscape devastated by war. but when the population is already high. a lot of people are going to decide that a life of bearing chilren is less important. When my wife and I were single we spent our yonger years playing the field. We married when I was 31 and she was nearing 40. After that we enjoyed the best years of our lives, and in the company of cats instead of children.

I am hoping we don't have too many people that think the way you do. Otherwise, our people will die out as the French are doing.
