[quote=Anonymous]I ran across 3 couples recently who all waited between 8-11 years after marriage to have kids. Besides the glaringly obvious reasons (financially better off, done with schooling, in secure jobs), I wanted to hear from others who had done this too. Do you think it helped make your parenting relationship stronger? What is purposeful? Each of these 3 couples went on to have 3 kids within a span of about 4 years. On the contrary, I married young and had kids immediately. It was just what I wanted. Other than a grass is greener situation, I don't see a huge amount of drawbacks (other than wishing I had developed a career giving myself more independence). I also wonder if the men in the midst of the stereotypical mid-life crisis were those who married young and had kids instantly? Just curious for feedback from both camps...[/quote]
