I've always wanted to start a family and have a bunch of kids. I know my parents waited until they were in their 30s to marry even though they met as teenagers, and believe that you should wait until you are all settled to start a family. I haven't met an eligible Catholic woman yet, so there is no rush, but I always wanted to marry a lot younger so I could have more kids. I understand where they are coming from, but is it OK to marry younger and to suffer through those first few married years working towards stability? I don't want to ruin my future family's life, but at the same time, I want to be a dad and to be able to play sports with any boys that I have, and I'm only going to stay fit for so long. Besides, I've already gone through the young degenerate stage of my life and I think that marriage would be a good way of keeping me from accidentally returning to it :).
Also, about how long should you wait to propose to a woman after meeting her and finding out she is the one for you. My parents took nearly two decades, but I think any woman would get tired of me if I waited that long without kids to keep her busy :)
