should you get married and should you have children

If you’re wondering whether to get married or not, then you might want to wait; If only to follow your own emotional compass that is currently making you question the idea. If you were asking me, I’d say: Do yourself, and your partner, a favor and wait to gain greater maturity, since marriage is no walk in the park.

If you’ve decided to go through with it regardless of that feeling of uncertainty, then continue to read below. Even if you’re already married, and your wife is now pregnant, and are still wondering if you’re making the right decision, then still read below.

A few months back I had an opportunity to write my life in 150words or less, and it turned out to be one of the best challenges I’ve undertaken in my life.

“After the birth of my first child I was able to appreciate my mother. After the birth of my second child I began to forgive my father. Four years into fatherhood came my opportunity to be the man I had always longed for in a father: I fulfilled my childhood dream of having a father by embracing the role. For these reasons alone, even if I could, I am unable to reject any hardship I’ve endured after making these commitments for concern of a potential negative impact on the incredible growth I now own. My wife became the mirror needed for one to achieve maturity and wisdom in life. Marriage and children, unexpectedly, became the answer to fundamental faceless complexities and desires inherent to childhood. Getting past the initial shock of the seemingly insurmountable behavioral changes that are required for its success seems to be the key.”
