How to deal with issues related to timing of pregnancy?
- Be honest with your partner about your feelings when you start talking marriage. Tell her/him how you feel about starting a family, when do you think a pregnancy is a good idea, and how many children you would like to have, etc.
- If you are not sure, share your doubts with your partner.
- If your partner strongly feels about this issue and you have an equally opposite view, deal with it before marriage. Do not hope that either partner will change the opinion after marriage. Work with the hypothesis that the partner will not change and then ask yourself if you are willing to live with that. If not, it is a good idea to part ways right away.
- There are other ways you can bring children in your life even if you do not want to have your own, particularly if one partner does not like the idea of having children: (1) host children of friends/family members when they need a babysitter (2) become a foster parent (3) "adopt" a child in a foreign country by sending a monthly contribution and try to visit, if you can (4) contribute your time to an event for a children by volunteering.
