to have children after marriage?
We waited 7 years (we married quite young). Do you think age has a lot to do with it or buidling the relationship solid at first then proceding with having children once you are well settled?

i think you did the right thing. each couple will have a different time frame as far as when they are ready, but i think it is important to really know your partner and be sure of their level of commitment to starting a family. so many people are drunk on the honeymoon phase and want to rush into kids before they even had time to really know each other deeply.

Children.
I have three. We waited 2 years, I was 23. He was 24. I have a friend who was 33, she 40 now, and prego with her 3rd. I see physically I have more energy to keep up with the children, and financially they can do more.
Though I stayed home, with side jobs, while they were young. I wanted to raise my children, not someone else.
I don't think that there is a magic age, or anything that you can do that will make having and raising children easier. It is hard, and puts allot stress on the relationship. Maybe waiting longer means you are used to not having the demand of kids. They are very demanding .... simply training them, we not even talking about .... so who knows .... I think it is different for each.

when your relationship is stable, and you are both prepared, then you should proceed with the idea of having children..and take it into serious consideration, you and your partner should share your feelings on the idea of having kids and be prepared finacialy

I think you should both be mature and that your marriage should be stable before you have children.

I think it depends on the couple. If they are mature enough to handle it...then it is ok whenever.
