You can't beat the odds.
There is a 1/4 chance of having an SS child. A 1/2 chance of having an AS child and 1/4 chance of having an AA child. These odds are for each child you have. If you have 10 chlidren, you could possibly have all AS, or all SS or all AA children.
So unfortunately the only way to not have an SS child is, in fact, to abort it after you have had testing at about 8-10 weeks gestation.
However, no-one should advise you for or against getting married on these grounds. The decision is yours alone. There is more to marriage than having children.
