How long were you married before you have little ones? Do you regret the timing or were you happy with it?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
How long...

we were married for one year and four months when we found out we were pregnant. and it was most definitely NOT a concious decision on our part -- i actually just wrote in another post that my husband and i had actually decided that we WEREN'T going to have any children (ever) about three weeks before i found out that i was six weeks pregnant. and we were not happy.
but we obviously realized that God had different plans for us than we had for ourselves and now we're unbelievably excited about it. looking back, though, if we had to DECIDE, we would have waited.

Well, we were married for almost 5 years before David was born. We were having a rocky time in our marriage before that (to say the least) or I think we would have tried maybe around 3-4 years after marriage. But obviously we didn't want to bring a baby into the chaos of our marital problems and so we waited. But since David has been such a healing balm to our marriage, I do wonder if he had been born earlier if it wouldn't have helped us through the hard time without having to go through all of the stuff that we did. Among other problems we had gotten to a "stagnant" point in our marriage where there wasn't anything new to tackle together. I hope this makes sense. David was not a planned baby (obviously, if you know my story) but he really ended up coming at a perfect time. I was 24 when he was born. So I guess the answer is, I would have liked to start earlier and have had a baby at around 22 or 23 after my husband graduated college. But I am still plenty young and I have plenty of years to have kids before I reach the age when I would like to be finished (32 for me). So thats cool.

We had been married 8 months when we found out I was pregnant...but my hubby had been deployed to Egypt for 6 of those months. My mom swears that I got pregnant the night that he got home, lol...she's probably right.

We had been married for 1 year and 5 months when we found out we were expecting, and when she is actually born, we will be married for a little over 2 years. We knew right from the start that we wanted kids. I am glad though that we have had a couple of years to ourselves before she is born. I think the timing was just right!

Our daughter was born 5 months after we married, and our son was born 15 months after that. I do regret not having more time just as a couple, but I never ever regret having my children.

When Christian was born we had been married 16 months. She was a surprize, but we love her and wouldn't have it any other way.

We were married 18 months when our daughter was born. Not what we had planned, but the most wonderful addition to our lives! God always knows better than we do. I was only 19 and my husband was barely 22. We were scared to death at first, but by the time she got here, there was no room (or time!) for fear any more.
I've never wished it had worked out differently.
