Not married yet?  Not a problem.  A study finds there are benefits to delaying marriage.  From LA TIMES:

Americans are getting married at ever-older ages, and a new report says this trend may be partly responsible for the shrinking of the middle class.

On average, brides are 26.5 years old and grooms are 28.7 when they head to the alter, according to the authors of the report, "Knot Yet," which was released Friday by the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia and collaborators. Those ages represent historic highs.

For college-educated men and women, delaying marriage has paid off – literally. By enabling them to finish school and get their careers established, these younger adults are investing in themselves for the long haul.
