Are you willingly single or just haven't found the right girl? I.e would you have gotten married at 25 if you met the right person? I'd be very surprised to find out that the age of marriage for devout Christians isn't a lot lower than average of the regular population.

Haha, true enough. I meant no crazier than a normal person. If I had found the right person, I would've gotten married at 25. Hell, if I'd found the right person, I probably would've gotten married at 22. I'm more prepared now, but I don't think marriage is really the sort of thing you fully prepare for. There has to be a lot of learning as you go, no matter when you marry (hence the emphasis on finding someone who views it the same way I do). I would expect that devout Christians, on average, marry younger. I certainly know a fair few mid-20s couples. But there are a lot of single folks (both men and women) at my church who are in their 20s and a handful in their 30s. Just because marrying younger is more socially acceptable doesn't mean that it's unusual for people to get to 27 still single, at least among the people I know. Although most of the single 20-somethings at my church are grad students at UNC or Duke, so this may be a biased sample.
My wife and I started dating when I was a sophomore in high school and dated until I graduated college. So got married at age 22. Now closing in on 30 and just had our second child on Tuesday. The Lord has blessed my family beyond measure.
By the way, anyone remember that thread of mine about long distance relationships after meeting someone at a wedding a year and a half ago? Her turn to visit, she's coming this Saturday. Crazy how well things are working.
Been going strong for a year and a half. Won't be apart for more than another year and half. I think we'll be fine. Which is going to break the heart of my wife.
