2. I am married, 24, and no kids.

3. The hubs and I plan to have kids “later”. I will probably be at least 30. We are definetly not ready yet.

Anne – I think it is excellent that you recognize where your gifts are (and where they are not). I’m sure you have noticed that many pastors with gaggles of children have wives that do most of the full-time mothering. Sounds like your husband and you recognize how children can change things and are approaching the topic with healthy caution.

My first I was a few days shy of my 40th, and that was after 2 losses and 5 years of infertility treatments. My 2nd baby i was 41. we are done now.

I never thought of having kids until my 30s, one day God changed my heart.

I was 27 when my first was born.

I don’t think the question should be “do you want kids?” (although that’s how it goes in society today) but “what does God say about having kids?” That added part at the beginning sure would put a different spin on lots of things, not just kids.
