    It’s not that they *have* to be married. But because of the emphasis on family and family relations, it’s encouraged that both males and females get married while they’re in their 20s. There’s also a lot of pressure from the parents because they want to see their grandchildren before they die (guilt-trip). This despite the fact that they may be in perfect health and in their early 50s. Furthermore, your’e not really taken seriously (as a male) by the other male members of the family until you become a ‘padre de familia’ (Head of a family).

    1) The respect and regard for your elders and parents. 2) The cohesion and preservation of the family structure. There may be others but I think, after informal chats and surveys of many Hispanic friends and acquaintances, that these are the most important.
