When you're single, you can crash on a friend's couch when you go visit them. A group of friends can kip in on one hotel room. You only have your work schedule to plan vacations around.
When you're married, have two work schedules to plan around, and a lot of people buy a house, or start saving for one, pretty soon after they get married. If your friends don't have guest bedrooms yet, it's a hotel for you. Since people have finite numbers of vacation days, and not everyone lives close to their families like they did two generations ago, it's not easy to plan a vacation and still make sure you have enough time off for the year to visit his family for Christmas and yours for Thanksgiving.
I'm really glad I got my crazy world travel experiences under my belt early on--it would be hard to schedule 3 weeks backpacking in Southeast Asia with a real job!
