We have been married for 6 years and have not had a baby yet. I am 28 and she is 26. She is ready to start a family, but I am not quite ready. Some advice would be helpful.

Whoa, 6 years? I'm sorry dude, I can't side with you on this one. It is more difficult on a woman's body the longer she waits to have children. I guarantee you when that child gets here, you will suddenly become ready. Relax and enjoy the art of baby making. So put on that red G-string and do the happy dance for her tonite!

Well you first need to decide if you just don't want any right now or you dont' want any at all.
If you're saying you just want to wait another 4-5 years then at her age, that is not unreasonable. However, a women's child bearing years are limited so dont' keep her waiting too long.
But if you're saying you don't want children at all............should have discussed that with her before you got married.

where the heck were you when the discussion about children was had, are you waiting for a signal or what, . . Tell your wife your feelings and make a time line as to when you will be ready, some day or when we have enough money will never happen so please be honest with her and yourself

maybe this should have been a conversation before you got marry
that you may not want children. but all you can do now is be honest with her know that you are not ready for children. honest
is the best thing in a relationship.

you don't fullstop or don't just at the moment???
this is a huge thing for a woman. you need to sit down and hear each other out and share your feelings. she is still very young but fertility is an age decreasing thing in females.
wow you got married early and have been together a long time for you ages, im not surprised to hear she wants to start.
talk to her and tell her how you feel, come to a compromise to wait one year or something..

Talk to each other and discuss your feelings. If this is difficult to do, perhaps a counselor can be of assistance. This issue needs to be resolved otherwise, my dear, it'll be "splitsville" for the two of you in the long run. I don't think that's something you want, do you?

You two need to talk about this...You need to tell her why it is that you do not want a baby yet...
