Therefore we are telling men and women who plan on focusing on careers first and "getting married older" that they are to wait for sex until are in their thirties. Is that really practical? 2) While women are having children later and later in life, age-related infertility is a huge and growing problem, not to mention the effects of high maternal and paternal age on a growing fetus. I think more should be said about this. 3) The premise of "SWANS" seems to pre-suppose that all smart and educated women are high-earners with prestigious jobs. I count amongst my closest friends many brilliant women--doctors, Ph.D.'s, valedictorians of Ivy League schools--who postponed, effectively ended, or never began careers in order to be stay-at-home moms. So how are we really measuring "success" here? 1) While it is certainly “not so terrible” to be single and 30, I think we would all do well to remember the little detail that as Catholics we are supposed to be against the practice of pre-marital sex.
