I'll be the "want to marry EVENTUALLY" category.
I think once you're over your mid-twenties you're old enough to make that decision on your own. Marriage is really all about having a financial contract to keep your offspring (hopefully biologically connected to you and your spouse, but we all know that's only an ideal nowadays) safe and secure.
In my mind I would think marriage is about bonding with someone you care and trust to live your life with together. Having kids is a whole 'nother ordeal.
I'm contradicting myself a little when I say this, but marriage is best done with someone you can grow up together with, but kids is just something I feel is better done earlier -- God help me if I ever decide to spawn children; I don't think I can do a much better job at 30 than what I can do at 25 (now). The only factor that might change between the age of 25 and 30 is that I might have graduated from college, got my BS, and possibly be in a higher income bracket than I am currently. That's the only thing that would be better for the child born when I'm 30 rather than the child I can hypothetically have now.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
