   There is an argument that people should marry when they are (*both*) younger. More time to be fruitful and multiply. More time together, instead of encouraging high "body counts" and high-risk behavior. Delaying marriage is not as altruistic as it sounds.

      It also results in people who get to raise kids while having zero adult life experience.

         Call me misguided, but I’m not sure adult life experience helps a lot with raising kids. It just means you grow out of touch.

            It does help. Older parents tend to have better mechanisms for coping with stress, and are less likely to physically abuse their kids, as just two examples.

            You’re gonna be out of touch with your kids’ generation basically no matter what.
