Yes, I would still have them (if I had it to do all over again) - just not any more of them
I got married at 36 so I pretty much got everything out of my system beforehand so there really isn't any great adventure that I felt like I gave up to get married. Unfulfilled wants? Sure there are but I assume you meant options that are now foreclosed since I'm married with kids. Not really. I feel a little cramped sometimes - nothing I haven't told my wife - but, overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the way things turned out.
One thing I still want to do, though is spend about a month or two on the west coast and work my way up from San Diego to Vancouver. I'd prefer to do it on a Harley but may have to settle for an SUV with child seats.
Getting married later has its advantages. I'm not having a mid-life crisis because I didn't mortgage my youth for my wife and kids. Of course, when my friends who got married early are empty nesters at 45 years old, I may feel a little bogged down by comparison.
