RebDoniel: you do know that Chazal said shemona esra lchupa, right? (Before you pounce, I’m not condoning it as an absolute, but you are way off base…)
And be aware that the older – and probably more jaded – you are, the less “romantic” your marriage will be. And there is no greater humanitarian work than taking care of your own precious kids, who hopefully will not call you Dr. dad. Life is not a bed of roses, but postponing marriage seems like a cop-out to me. Good luck!
