He'll be 65 years old when the kid graduates high school and 69 when the kid receives his/her bachelors. He may not even live to see his kid marry. I just don't think it's all that good to marry too late.

Anyone can have health problem. I mean IO'm only 23...have no desire to get married any time soon. Plus I have health problems. I might not be able to have kids of my own. Does that mean no one will want to marry me?
Secondly, age isn't really a factor in deciding whether or not men can father children. Men of any age can father children. Whether thebe 25 or 95. It is however a facotr for women, that the older they get, the harder it is.
I don't know whether or not they want children, I have never discussed it with them. The only problem I forsee there is that if they don't get married till they're around 40 and their wife is around the same age and they want kinds, then it could be a problem. Or not, hell they could always adopt.
