historica: Very bad trend...making it awkward for the woman In my place you can't marry a pregnant woman...you have to wait until she gives birth to the baby... it can get quite embarrassing if your parents are church officials |

Waiting ..in marriage depends on the plans agreed by both parties... because you will really need to settle and rekindle the real meaning of liviing together as husband and wife... while you also map a Future and save towards it... I personally waited 1 year before i start shooting... and no regrets on that. More also, dont rush, and try spacing too as it will allow the first baby(ies) to enjoy their parents. Absolutely no need to rush if you get married in your late 20s and early thirties. Note this... once the children start coming... your love life will never remain the same again. Because this time you will need to all share it... it won't be that easy. You might even grow apart while still married and be having kids... Wife might suffered hormonal imbalance, which will affect attitude and life style... Husband will seek side chick to be calming nerves... Alot of things... however it takes a matured mind to understand this and encourage each other as they grow. 3 Likes |

THUNDER4real: Not trying to start an argument here but this is your opinion. And as James Blunt once said, opinions are like a*seholes. Every body has one. Here's mine. First, family planning is the act of planning the number of and the spacing between said children. There are many methods of family planning. The easiest and most convinient are called condoms. Yes, many families start with a plan for the number of and spacing between the children. A family that want to have children immediately and want to have 4 on the bounce, that's their family plan. It is family planning. Except you have problems with condoms, that's a viable method of family planning. And not everyone has problems with them. So those that don't can use that method. God gives and takes away according to Job. But God gives us the free will to make a choice. And as long as that choice is not in opposition to Him or His plans, we are good to go. And even if they are not, Moses proved we can get Him to change His mind. 2 Likes |

It all boils down to how ready( psychologically, mentally, financially...)the couples are to become parents. Just like marriage, birthing children shouldn't be rushed into. 1 Like |

Forget societal pressure nonsense, have a kid only when you can afford to raise one. No one will take up your responsibilities because you are following African norms. I have been married for more than a year, we not not ready for a baby yet. No one has the right to pressure you into raising kids. Let's stop all this African mindset that has taking us backwards. 4 Likes |

Not everyone get married because of this sole reason. It shouldn't be a criteria to send her packing. Some persons get married because they see a partner in the person. Babies are product of a union and shouldn't be the only reason for the union. donstan18: 2 Likes |

Chill2: I tire. A fellow I know was berating me for wanting to have only 2 children. He said the African way is to have at least 4. He has 3 and is going to try for one more. Homeboy is seriously struggling in business. Hasn't been able to pay his rent for 4 years. Could barely pay for his Wife's last delivery. This is basically what I told him. How many of us in Africa have farms? The "traditional African" thing was when we had large farms and needed as many hands as possible to man these farms. Or herds. Even the white man did the same thing. But once the industrial revolution came and they left the farms for industrialised towns and cities, the need for many children was dumped for as few as possible making it easier to care for them. While we "Africans" have left our farms for industrialised cities and towns, we are still trying to maintain the need to have many children in the name of tradition. For what? What benefit? When many people can barely take care of one. 4 Likes |
