We're loving it.

It's an adventure every day.

You know, that's a great question.

The research on this is really interesting.

So about 100 years ago, in the early 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, the marrying age was not as bad as most people think, typically, the average age.

Most people were getting married late teens, early 20s sort of thing is what they were doing.

As the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s rolled on, what we saw was a plunging in the marriage ages down into mid-teens because people were so destitute they were getting married just to get out and find someone else who could feed them and take care of their bills.

So we saw a crash in the 1950s.

1950s is nothing compared to

traditionalism.

1950s is not a model anyone should ever use for anything, by the way.

But it plunged and then it went back up to late teens, early 20s.

Right now, we're seeing that most couples who have success are getting married maybe in their late 20s.

And part of that's because it's taking so much longer to learn skills, so much longer to undo trauma, so much longer to try to get financially safe and get to a place where we can.

We're delaying it from college, which adds another four to six years.

We're afraid to talk to each other.

So we even have to overcome that barrier.

There's so many things adding in right now.

But we do see that late 20s and early 30s is where most people right now are having a sweet spot.

Wow.
