My current wife and I settled ourselves down before having our son. Having a solid household, not just finacially, but emotionally, etc... will have positive impacts on a child growing up. You can live just about anywhere in any situation...just provide a solid, structured and caring environment for the child to grow in.

It was love at first sight. I was 25 and got pregnant the first time I slept with my spouse. There have been rough patches like I am sure every relationship has, in spite of them we both feel we were meant to be together and have the kids that we have. We have been together over 15 years now. I sometimes envy "people with a plan" and honestly there are things I would change in my past. I am just not convinced I would be a happier person right now if I did.

Not I. Were were both making a little over minimum wage when we first got married and got a cheap apartment. We had children right away. Now sure, we went through some tough financial times, but we rode it out. Now we've been married 22 years and making over $120,000 a year. One son is in the Air Force and the other is on his way to Law school. I wouldn't change anything!

For a woman I think it's the kiss of death to live with a man and/or have a man's child without first getting the emotional and legal commitment that is known as marriage. For a rare few women everything works out and the man still buys the cow that he's getting free milk from (i.e. he marries a woman who is already functioning as a wife and child bearer for him) but most women get left holding the bag while he moves on to new turf with a woman who has the self respect to make him work for her commitment/love/fertility.

We got married and got the house, no kids yet. I think if we did have kids and were moving and trying to buy a house, etc., it would be more difficult, but many people do it so it really comes down to what works for the individual couple.

I have been married a year and 1/2. Me and my husband have a nice house and nice things. we both feel it is important to have things like that taken care off before thinking about bringing a child into the world. We are just now talking about having kids

YES, we are happy. We live in an apt. we have been here for 13 years we planned it this way. It is the cheapest way to live as far as today's cost of living. Our situation is somewhat different, our daughter is raised and with a child of her own. Life couldn't be better. Thanks for the thoughtful question.

We've been married 1 year this month, have been together for 3 years total. We don't have kids and we don't want them - well, at least I don't. I'm 28, he's 36. I think he would want them if I did - but he respects my opinion and choice. We're more interested in buying a new home and travelling every 4 years. Because of his age, I think that's also a determining factor in why we shouldn't have any.

I'm going backwards.
I had kids first. Got engaged, then we decided to buy a house. Now we're in the process of upgrading to a better house before we decide to get married.
Everything we do is for the sake of our children, to make sure they have a good life.
No complaints so far.
