My sister who married at 29 and the other recently married at age 32 says the average marriage age is early to mid twenties and that it's medically unsafe to have a child after age 30 (my mom had me at 37 and I was born with CP, so perhaps there's some truth to that). I'm 24 and I'm just starting to seriously contemplate marriage and kids but can't find anyone

So I was wondering what is the average marriage age.

I've heard a lot about women who wait until age 30, 40, or 50 to get married and have kids. And another problem posed with my marriage and kids fantasy is needing to go back to college to get a better career and with wonky periods since age 18, it worries me
