"enjoy being married before kids"

We’ve lived together since April 2017 and we’re getting married November 2019. We are super ready to start our family.

We will have lived together for 2.5 years once the wedding rolls around. We plan to start trying around 6 months after. Mostly for financial reasons since we are a same sex couple and it will be a big investment for us, but also because we do want to take a little bit of time to enjoy just being married. We're ready and excited to start a family now, but we don't want to have any regrets.

I’m 28 and he’s 29.. we have live together for 9yrs and together for 11... we don’t have any kids and don’t plan on it for another 5yrs... still enjoying the life without kids lol..

We moved in with each other in May 2016 so will have lived with each other for 3 years when we get married. We want to start trying right away for kids because we have discussed having 3 or 4 and were 28 and 32 so time's ticking and we arent getting any younger! Lol

We've lived together for 2.5 years, the majority of our relationship. FH will turn 31 on our wedding day and I will turn 30 shortly after. I really enjoy it being just the two of us. I still feel too young to have kids lol. We're very laid back and I want to keep getting 8 hours sleep. I think we will wait a year. And I'm cool with whatever happens!

We’ve lived together for 5+ years now and owned a house together for 2 years now, getting married end of June. We don’t plan on kids any time soon!

We've lived together for about 4 years and I'm not really interested in having kids at all! We just have so much fun together. We travel whenever we want. We both have good income.

We have a dog and want to get him a little pomeranian sibling next summer when we get back from our honeymoon. Next we want to buy a house. And we have a side business together that we'd like to eventually turn into a full time operation. I just don't see where kids fit into the picture!

We’ve lived together since May 2016 + had our son March 2018 🤣

Been together for almost 6 years. Living together for 5 of them including a major move out of state. We are not sure if we even want kids yet. I am 30 and he is 36. We will see where the next year or two take us.

We’ve been living together for 3+ years now, we’re getting married in Nov 2020. He’s 31 and I’m 26, and I don’t plan on having kids for 5+ years 🤷🏽‍♀️. I have no maternal desire yet and am really just looking forward to enjoying ourselves these next few years! Everyone is different though, whatever feels right in your heart!

We've been living together for over a year and it doesn't really change our plans. We aren't settled yet so we aren't looking to have kids any sooner. Though most of the time we feel married, it doesn't feel like we're ready to jump into a family yet.

We've been together for a little over 5 years and living together for 3 1/2-4 years (I can't remember lol) We got married back in September. I would love to start trying for kids in the next couple of years but he says we should wait about 5 to see where we are financially, (I know if you wait for the right time financially you will be waiting forever) but we've been saving up a little bit each month to help with child expenses down the road. I'm 28 and he's 30 so we will see where we are in like 3 years and go from there. I don't want to wait too long lol.

We have lived together for 3.5 years. I'm 25, my fiance will be 29 next month. We want to start trying for kids at the end of 2020. I do feel like not living together first, makes you want to do the married without kid experience more. But since we have lived together without roommates for 3.5 years, we bought a house together almost a year ago, we own two cars together and a dog, that not much will change after we are married since we are already enjoying all that!

We have been together for six years and have lived together for a year and a half. We are still young - I turn 24 a few months after the wedding, so we aren't in a huge rush to have kids and won't be having them right away. We are excited to have them eventually but we want some more time just us. I'm not ready to give up sleeping in and being able to do whatever we want when we want yet. We make really good money, especially for our age, and we want to have some more time to still be selfish with it lol. I don't feel like much will change once we are married since we do already live together and have already gone through that whole experience awhile ago. However, we currently rent and we are looking to buy a house right after the wedding so that will be a change we will go through together once we are married. We aren't exactly sure how long we want to wait to have kids but we are thinking 2021.

We have lived together since July of 2016 and we're getting married in October. I'm 25 and he's 28, and we don't plan on trying for kids until 3-4 years after the wedding. We don't feel emotionally ready quite yet and really do want to just enjoy being together a few more years and live a little selfishly. It's likely that I will have some struggles with fertility after some conversations with my doctor so when I'm 28-29 we will start exploring the process so we can begin trying when I'm 29-30. My parents were married for 7 years before my brother was born and they always say it was an amazing choice for them and strengthened their relationship. Granted, my mom was only 22 when they got married so biologically they had the time to wait and not everyone does.

My husband and I lived together about four months before we got married. We're coming up on our 4th anniversary. During the first year or so we thought about it and actually tried but we decided NO kids for us for several reasons. We work 3rd shift, child care is so expensive, we both have a horrible family history of serious medical issues, we like the peace and quiet, we are now 33 and 36, the dog is enough to keep up with. We don't feel like anything is missing. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be a parent. We have discovered life is just perfect the way it is.

We will have lived together for 4 years when our 2021 wedding comes around. He wants to start trying immediately after the wedding. I need a year lol.

So we lived together for almost 2 years when we got married and started trying right away... and it worked! haha but it's also SUPER OVERWHELMING if I'm honest "Oh look it's our 6 month anniversary AND 3 months until little guy is here" nothing changed when we got married however we were planning on fixing up our house and didn't think I'd immediately get pregnant but... I did haha he's due 9 months and 1 day after our wedding so that's cool but again I feel like we haven't had a chance to slow down because it put getting our house in order into hyper speed along with everything else. Honestly I love being busy and it's crazy and fun and I can't believe he will be here in about 3 months but also it's weird .... my wedding shower was last August and now my baby shower is next month? What? I don't feel like we aren't enjoying life because I'm pregnant ... we are it's just a little different now.

We will have been living together for 2.5 years by our wedding on 04/04/2020. We will be trying for a honeymoon baby. I already have a 9 year old

I'm curious to see all of the responses to this because my fiance and I have lived together since the beginning of 2017 and we are so excited to have children but we are always told to "enjoy the first few years of marriage without children." I understand why everyone says this and we plan on traveling a lot in 2020/2021. Even when we can't take long trips, we want to do beach trips, disneyland, etc as much as possible. So ultimately we decided the plan is 2 years before we try but if after one year we decide we want to try, we will lol.
