The Best Time To Make Babies Page 2
My advice to my daughter-in-law was that babies should not enter the picture until after the couple has gone through the fluttery stages of love, romance, and passion. When things settle down and the couple realizes that they really, truly love each other in that deeply bonded way, when they can look at each other with deep respect and admiration and know for sure, without any doubts, that they want to be together for their foreseeable future, then and only then should they begin their family. Unfortunately, that's not the way people do it and today's divorce rate is going to play havoc on our society. Children need two parents and a stable home and, sadly, way too many children are having to go without those basic things. I applaud single parents for the huge job and responsibility that it is to raise children alone, but the children are suffering in untold ways and it makes my heart a little bit sad. I'm grateful that I didn't divorce until my children were grown. Even then, it was hard on my daughter, although she now sees that it was a good thing for my growth as a person. Just something to think about.

Even when the pregnancy is because a couple decided to have a baby the reasons aren't always that sound. Many times, when the romance is wearing off, a couple thinks they will be able to improve their relationship by starting their family. It's logical because, on the surface, it seems like a baby would strengthen their bond. But all it does is create stress that the relationship can't handle. When a relationship is precarious, bringing a baby into the picture can be the proverbial straw.
