    It seems like having young children is stressful and miserable, but as they grow up its a rewarding experience. Marriages have tough times especially in the early stages, you always have to answer to someone which is tough. However when you get through all those tough early stages it seems life gets really nice. When you never get married and have kids it seems like your mid 30s and early 40s are fun, you have a lot of free time and money, but what age do you think you hit the "wall" with this life decision.

    Not anytime soon for someone born in '98. Source: am born in '90 and am quite content.

    Good, glad you're happy. Meanwhile I personally love my life being completely and utterly disrupted by very cute, screaming, goofy kids with their own personalities, curiosities, difficulties, etc. To each their own.

    You're framing the question ass-backwards.

    You want to be asking yourself, "At what age does having kids and being married start to suck?"
