Throughout America's history, the start of adult life for women - whatever else it might have been destined to include - had been typically marked by marriage.

I didn't get married until I was 38.
When I was younger, I wanted to marry early, like at 23. Year by year, I found things I wanted to do, and the thought of marriage disappeared. But I don't want to marry too late. Around 31?
