You should have voted 25 (You can change your vote). The 'do' is for people who haven't reached their target age yet. The 'did' is for people who have passed their original target age.

I said 24-26. Thats always been the age range. And with my SO, I can see it happening between now and 26.

I answered never...I don't think the 30 seconds that I considered it when I was 22 count.

I put 24-26, although I'm 24 now so I don't see it happening that soon. Apparently the avg age for a woman with a degree is 25.8. We'll see...

I think if it weren't for the desire to have kids... a lot of women wouldn't get married until mid-30's but after 35 years old you're considered high-risk. I could have a baby and not be married but I wouldn't want to.

I'll marry, but I'll be much older. That's for sure! I'm 29 years old, and I still have no plans of getting married. Not yet, anyways. I'll might marry once I know more of who I am (at least not until after I've developed some much-needed confidence), and I have a man who has a head on his shoulders. Of course, I'd have to adore him. I think to seriously consider spending your life with someone, you should at the very least love being by his/her side. Too many people rush into marriages half-heartedly.

Marrying at a later age will work for me. I still don't trust men enough to give anyone my life. Also, I don't want children so there's no rush for me to get hitched while my eggs are still fresh.

And for those of you who may want to know WHY I don't want children, it can be summed up into one word: Pain. (Psychological, physical, and emotional pain...not to mention, financial!)

I think at one point I wanted to be married before I was 30.

Lucky girl. I think that's the perfect age, and I had always wanted to be married by 26.

Now that I'm 31 and never married, I'll be happy if it happens in the next three-five years (sooner than later would be ideal, but I know that the right man will be worth the wait).

AJ, enjoying life with C.
