I didn't get married until into my 50's; because I had not yet met the lady that matched my expectations for marriage. When I did - we quickly got married. My wife has a similar story... she wanted to wait until the right one as well.
Now we both had past partners where we though we would get married: but, in the end that did not work out.
At the same time; most of my high school classmates have been divorced at least once, many twice or more.
Its far better to wait for the "right one" (who is out there) than to get married and have it fail (very costly for both parties - and does not generally help the kids).
Its even better, in my opinion, to never get married at all than to have a bad marriage.
So, relax a bit. Have some fun, and keep an eye open for someone who has the values and thought patterns you are looking for.
