Do You Both Want Children?
Most people want to have children; it’s a natural desire. Some people want lots of kids, while others would rather have only one or two. And then there are those who don’t want children at all.
These are all legitimate choices. There is nothing wrong with wanting or not wanting children. However, it’s a big problem if you want children and decide to marry someone who doesn’t.
Let’s review some of the pre marriage questions you should ask regarding children:
- Do you want children? It’s important to know for sure what you want.
- Does your partner want children?
- How many children do the two of you want?
- Do you want to have a child as soon as possible, or do you want to wait a few years?
- If you and your partner have different faiths, how will the children be raised? Religion can become a big sticking point when children enter the picture.
- What role does your partner expect to play in raising children?
- Do both of you agree on how to discipline children? What if you’re opposed to spanking and your partner believes “Spare the rod, spoil the child?”
- What would you do if you learned that the two of you couldn’t have children? What would your spouse do?
- If the two of you decide not to have kids, what are you going to do if there’s an accidental pregnancy?
- Would one of you stay home with the children, or would you both work?
- Would you homeschool your children?
- How will having children change your lives?
