People marry at widely divergent ages, my mom married on her 29th birthday, so all the early options on your poll were off the table by then.

The woman I basically nannied for was 40 when she had her daughter, never married. She never regretted having her daughter, who is now 25 and a fabulous person.

So much varies from person to person - you may think when you are 14 or 15, that by 25 you will be settled enough for a child, but when you reach 25 realize that you are not where you thought you'd be in your life.

I stand by my "it is different for each person and each couple."
