First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage. We all know the popular kids' song, "K-I-S-S-I-N-G", and we all know that that's not always the way of it.

Marjo and I often talk about how it takes about five years to really "know" someone, in terms of getting engaged and/or married. This is obviously debatable; however, it's something we totally agree on.

More and more millennials (born between 81-96) are waiting longer to get married and have kids. Whether it's the love of independence, the fear of the 50% divorce rate of the baby boomers (their parents), or financial strains, they're waiting longer.

A county by county list on masslive.com reveals the average age of women when they first give birth. Below you can see the Berkshire numbers, for the rest of Massachusetts visit masslive.com.
