Annette, In support of your point, the age of first marriage has been drifting up over the last 50 years. I think that I could track those statistics if you are interested. Dennis

In fact, it seems that over the last 20-40 years the average age of childbirth has risen, although I don't have a statistic to back that up and do not feel motivated enough to give up grading papers and writing a manuscript to do so; but someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
