What are some benefits of getting married and having kids in your late 20's? I come from a small town where the divorce rate is very low (Christianity is major religion) and everyone gets married very young. I'll graduate college next year but my boyfriend will go on to law school so we'll have to wait til he gets done, etc. to have children. (getting married sometime between now & then). Since most of my hs friends are already married and having these cute families, I'm having difficulty remembering why I didn't want to do that. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Late twenties is a good time to get married. For one maturity and really building on a relationship. Your really taking time to know each other. And you two don't have to conform to your small town ways. Also you will be finical stable. One less thing to worry about and you can always have your children back to back. I work with in fertile women and some of them are in their late 40's. You will be fine in you late twenties to start a family think of this as your vacation.

I got married when I was 4 months pregnant, the only thing that I regret is not having enough time to be a WIFE before I had to learn to be a mom. Even though you have been with him for awhile being husband and wife is just different and you need time to build a marriage before you build a family. You may never understand this unless you have children to early and then you can't rewrite history.

I think that one of the main benefits of waiting is that it gives you time to find yourself. During your 20's you are just growing into your own and figuring out what life is about. If you wait you may find out that he is not what you want at all me personally will be waiting until I am 27 or 28 for the whole marriage and family thing.

You'll be more mature and more financially secure if you wait. You'll also have more time for you and your boyfriend to just be with each other before you have kids. Once you have kids, they completely take over your life. There is also nothing wrong with not having kids.

In the beginning it is nice to have time with just you & your husband to really get to know eachother and your habits.You also want to wait to have the children until you are financially stable.Alway's remember that "GOOD THING'S COME TO THOSE THAT WAIT"..Best wishes to you.
