Im in it for the Long run don't get me wrong but just how do most people coupe with the fact that once they finish med school + internship they will be >30 years old.
Are we expected to find a wife/husband and start a family in our mid 30's and be perfectly fine with it?
and also any insight on what married life is like while in med school would also be great. (not to invade any personal situations)
If you're that focused on getting married by a certain 'deadline', you're apt to make a hasty and ill-thought-out decision. Far better to marry the right person in your 30's (40's, 50's) than to marry the wrong person in your 20's.
As a practical consideration, keep in mind that your appeal in the 'marriage market' will increase once you finish med school, i.e., you will be more likely to secure a higher spot on the average woman's 'ladder' (search Ladder Theory for detailed explanation). This translates into more and better options for you.
