[quote=Anonymous]DH and I were married 8 years before having a child (10 years together in all) -- and it just happened to work out that way because DC was a surprise. The timing ended up working out really well. By that point, we were comfortable in our marriage and had already weathered some trying times (including the death of a parent). I think we were better able to handle a new baby and all of the life-changes that go along with that because of how long we've been together. That's not to say that you or anyone else would not be able to handle it if you were married for a shorter time. But I'm glad we had all those years to establish our careers, buy a home, travel, and build a really solid marriage. There truly is no perfect time to start a family, IMO. If you are worried about being too set in your ways after being married for 10 years, chances are you'd be worried about some other issue if the timing was different. [/quote]
