Not always. I was 31 when I met the man who would be my husband. Sometimes you just don't meet the right one until later. When we went on our first date, it was like no other date either one of us have ever had. I thank God I didn't get married earlier just for the sake of it.
I was going to post a long screed about how women don’t actually seek out good guys until their looks begin to fade, but that adds nothing positive to the conversation. So, I will say this instead. I think that successful dating/marriage is all about timing. People mature at different rates and finding a good partner in life is more about fortunate timing and good luck. When you find someone like that, it still takes a lot of work to make it work. Every day, you must wake up and not take the other person for granted. If you have found the right person, they will think the same way about you.
