You also never know when it's going to happen. My brother was married twice and is second marriage pretty much ended because of the stress of infertility issues and having two adoptions fall through. Third marriage though- he became a dad for the first time at age 48 and the second time at age 50. He didn't think that was ever going to happen for him. You never know what life will bring you.

I should add- I did the marriage and kids thing and ended up divorced after 7 years, 6 of which were really bad. So I've been a single mom for 13 years and am facing an empty nest in September. I get upset about it sometimes, but most of the time I focus on everything I'll now be able to do that has been on hold for 20 years and get excited about it. I have to fight the "I'm going to be all alone" thoughts and focus on the "Wow, I can do so much because I'm on my own!" thoughts. It's easier sometimes than others.
