Not everyone between the ages of 28-30 are even remotely ready to get married. It totally depends on the couple. You can't stick two 18 year olds together and possibly think they have the same maturity level.
Most people will probably say mid 20s because that's when you're out of college, starting a new job and probably getting ready to settle down. What if people don't want to do it in that order? Some women want kids right away. Biologically, women are the most fertile in their early 20s so some people choose to get married and have kids at a young age. Nothing wrong with that as long as they are READY. That's the key there, you can't just be like, "oh I'm 30 now, I better get married" it doesn't work that way.
I didn't think I'd get married until I was in my 30s, well funny that I got engaged at 20 and I was married by 21. Six years later, I have a good job, 2 houses, 3 cars, a dog and now I've decided to go back to school full time and finish up my degree to pursue something that I'll enjoy vs a paycheck. Maybe afterwards I'll feel ready enough to have kids (doubt it) but I didn't follow the order, but I think I turned out just fine.
It's totally not about age, it's about what stage you are in life and timing.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
