Did I miss the part about being able to get married and have kids and get a college education? I graduated college at 24 with a Doctor of Pharmacy and got married the next year. You can still have kids when you're past 25. I work at a hospital and it is not uncommon to have women in their 30's and 40's having babies. Besides, what can you really teach your children at the ripe old age of 20 besides A-B-C's and not much after that?

Get an education, and when you know you are the right couple for the right reason take your time and get married.  Remember, don't expect a man to change, and don't expect  the woman to do everything around the house and have the energy for romance.  Share the duties and get adequate rest.  If you intend to have children, realize that your spontaneity goes the minute the child is born.  Make plans to return or not, to work, before the baby is born.  If your can pay for quality child care, and still bring home a fair wage, then you may want to try to return to work, for it is hard to get back at your current level and position if you drop from the work force.  Realize that you two need to make time for each other during the weekend, so plan to go out one night on the weekend to rekindle what brought you together.  Share your duties at home, and enjoy your children. They are tremendous at every age, and they grow up fast!
