This was exactly my situation. I was barely 20 when I started dating my husband, and at that point in time, marriage was the furthest thing from my mind. We dated for 6 years before getting engaged (maybe a little longer than I would have preferred). However, in Canada, we were still below the average age of marriage. I believe for women it is 30 (I was 27), and men 31-32 (my husband was 30).
