Perfectly normal to wait to get married. I didn't get married until I was 30. Waiting, and being with that person long enough prior is key. My husband and I have been together 6 years; married 3 this coming April. We decided kids right away because we are in our 30s. We have our heads on our shoulders. I finished my masters degree before our first was born. We don't have a house; but with college loan debt; renting is more feasible until we pay some of it down.

Everyone is different. It's what you two want.

I kind of understand.. I'm also 28 and not married, and some people are shocked.. even more shocked when they find out I've been with my bf for over 5 years, now have a child together, and haven't actually gotten married.. Like, why do they feel we have to? Everything's great between us, and we're raising our kiddo fine without that piece of paper :/
