You've dated around, know what's out there, and got all the bad boy lovin' out of your system.
During my research, I found that many women got married because they thought they'd never find anyone else to compare to their first love, so they settled.
You're not going to waste time dating someone in your 30s when you know it's not going anywhere, so the partner you marry will be someone with whom you can have a successful future.
Instead of fighting over little things or pushing issues under the rug, you know how to address them.
By bringing out the best in yourself, you're enhancing your marriage.
Finances are a huge source of conflict for couples and a reason many young couples divorce. Who wants to spend all their nights fighting about cash flow?
This provides you the time and energy to focus on a marriage.
Either with a roommate or love interest, and you've become a responsible adult. You're not learning this while adjusting to marriage.
In your 20s, you're facing pressure from friends, family, and society to follow the norm. In your 30s, you have the courage to stand up for yourself.
