Got married at 26. If i get a time machine, will do it by 24. There is a quote by ashneer, where he says, 30's are the most important time is building one's career and setting the foundation to make money. Distractions from family life/kids will kill both the careers and family. I think he made perfect sense.
I think the older one gets, its difficult to have compatibility. Too many external stimulus corrupts our view of the society. And more over everything has a purpose and we all come with a shelf life. If chances of starting a family is slim or nil, whats the point in getting married? one is better of single.
