Girls, how open are you to...

a marriage with double income and no kids (the so-called DINKs)? Or is such a relationship too far in goraville for you to consider?

I think for the first few years 3-5 i would prefer that. I mean cuz m nly 21. I don't want kids right away. & gotta put that degree to use.

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

I am not open to that..I want to have kids in a couple of years...

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

That's how we were for 6 years.

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

I would rather have that then be poor and struggle with kids education etc.

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

We had pre decided not to have babies for the first 4-5 years and just enjoy each others' company. However sometime after two years we thought the time was right to plan a baby and our daughter came before our 3rd anniversary.

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

I wouldn't mind waiting a few yrs after marriage to have kids..

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

It seems he means no kids...at all.

I don't think this is a gora concept because most gora families DO actually have kids.

As far as I know most girls (desi or non-desi) want to be mothers at some point.

Re: Girls, how open are you to…

Personally, I think companionship and love as concepts are separable from procreation. You can have one without the other. I’m hoping I can find a girl who only wants the former. Otherwise I’m going to have to settle for a girlfriend. :hinna:

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

Thats how my husband and I have lived for the past 5 years. Certainly has it's benefits.

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

hmmm...female peak fertility age is 21.

just a fact.

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

I decided not to have kids for the first 3 years of marriage but couldn't stick to the plan. I love little babies.

Re: Girls, how open are you to…

better then double kids with no income (called DKWI…well if not then from now on it will be called DKWI) eh?

:chai:

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

And yet they still carry on having babies waaay past this point :(

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

the concept of marriage is hard enough if you aren't one of the lucky ones to find someone mature and compromising/respectful/sacrificing so i would definitely consider a life without kids.

i'm thinking if i do end up with someone that makes life a living hell and is uncompromising and disrespectful, i wouldn't want another human being going through that, it would be pretty selfish to bring a child into this world that has to see that and experience that especially when they never asked to be born.

motherhood is a full time job. when i see how my nieces and nephews are I feel like it's a major responsibility and if you aren't someone that is capable of devoting most of your time for a child then I feel like it's not something one should even attempt.

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

"Eggs are the key to female fertility. Female fertility and egg quality peak around the age of 27 and begin to decline in a woman's 30s. While a woman is physically able to carry a pregnancy to term well into her forties, the quality of the eggs produced by a woman’s ovaries begins to significantly decline starting around the age of 35. A woman over age 40 has less than a 10 percent chance of having a successful pregnancy using her own eggs, compared to approximately 30 percent per month at her natural peak fertility."

hmm

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

Personally, I wouldn't feel complete without experiencing motherhood, love the idea, but wouldn't go into it without looking at my situation financially because I'd want to give my baby all it deserves and more

Re: Girls, how open are you to...

Never ever gave it a thought. Procreation is the beauty of womanhood. Cannot imagine to put it next to any anything on the earth, whatsoever.

Re: Girls, how open are you to…

There are girls out there who don’t want to have kids.

I think its good to know what you want and don’t want. Why have kids if you don’t want them or cannot support them? Why make life miserable for yourself and the little ones?
