Are you married Steve?
The decision whether to have a family should really be discussed before asking to marry her, because it is important to know each other's hopes and expectations.
If she is hoping for or expecting a baby, she could be very unhappy in her life if this option is not available to her.

Regarding your age, I don't think you should worry about it. Things have a way of sorting themselves out no matter what age you are.
