    at least for women fertility begins to decline at 32.

    That’s a little bit of a yikes there, buddy.

      Why is that a yikes? More birth defects, complications, start running low on eggs. All of that is just facts…

      They said nothing about the value of a woman being tied to fertility, that came out of mind…

      As for the decline in fertility statement, that has been scientifically proven for decades and assumed for centuries. Women are born with a set amount of eggs, they typically go through at least one per ovulation cycle, they start reaching the end in their 30s and risks of birth defects start increasing in their 30s

      The question was about marriage. There are two reasons that I see people get married. For young people it’s about starting a family. However you and I feel about it personally, legal structures that are in place just make it easier when you’re married. The other reason is for older people. Pensions and estate planning is easier for married couples. Again, I have opinions about it but it remains a plain fact.

        I got married to share healthcare and other tax advantages and do not plan to have children. I’m under 30 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      How can a fact be yikes? It’s only relevant if women want children, but if they do then the earlier the safer it is.
