I think that the best time to marry depends on each individual couple. I got married at 27 (Mr. C. was 30) and had my first child at 28. This was right for us. We had our degrees and had traveled and were readly to settle down.
My oldest and her husband just got married at 23. He had his 5-year engineering degree, she had her BS and MS. They'd been dating for 5 years and it was right for them. How anyone can come up with a universal right time for anyone is beyond me!
I will say this, though: a bunch of my friends decided to wait until their mid-thirties to have their first child. They all had fertility problems and none conceived. I wonder if there is some deadline that many women pass in their early thirties that makes conceiving that first child much more difficult?
