I got married at 25, my wife was 21. I did not feel I was missing anything getting married in my 20's, as I was at a time in my life where I was pretty much just hanging out, doing nothing, working, eating, and sleeping. Marriage changed it all. We rented what used to be my grandparent's home for 6 1/2 years, and it was very different going home to my parent's for dinner on Sundays (you can't go home again). We purchased a new home this past July, and it's been an adventure. Haven't done much in it yet, because we are so busy with professional requirements and stuff with the kids, but this Spring we plan on doing a lot of painting, minor repairs, etc.
