...get married."
How do you feel about this quote?
It kinda makes sense to me because I think it's better to wait till you've both been dating for a long while, have a career, both emotionally and financially stable and so on. But then there's people who never want kids (but they may be "ready" under those terms.)
I don't really see it that way. One doesn't always have to go with the other. There are plenty of people that are ready for marriage, but never plan on having kids, or plan on having kids several years into their marriage. Usually, in this latter case, it's because they want to achieve a certain level of stability in the marriage, perhaps even fiancially.
The reverse also holds true. There are people who are ready to have kids, but never plan on tying the knot. Marriage isn't for everyone. A common law couple os just as legitimate as a married couple, once they've lived together long enough.
*Shrug*
In my case, marriage is around the corner, and it's been a long time coming. I've been engaged for the majority of my seven years with my fiance. Basically, he was making a commitment to me. From there, we didn't rush into marriage. For some reason, our desire for a child over-rode marriage, at one time. Finances have had a lot to do with that, as well. There were times we talked about making it official, but other priorities required our attention.
The cute thing is, my daughter can be the flower girl when it happens.
