    5 years! We are both 27 and have tons of things on our bucket list that we want to accomplish before we have children. We plan to travel as much as possible in those 5 years and see the world and just have fun being married. This could all change if baby fever hits me, but as of now we both aren't ready to be parents and we want to spend time with each other first!

    I'm 29 and definitely not ready yet. We have been married 4 months and I still want to wait about 2 years. I don't understand wanting to try right away, to each their own, but you raise kids your whole life, and only have a short time being a newlywed! I say travel and enjoy alone time while you can.

    We're going to wait a year. We've never lived together or even slept together, so we want to enjoy some of the "honeymoon period". Plus, I'd like to finish my M.S. degree.

    We cannot wait to have children Smiley smile It will be an exciting milestone to look forward to post-wedding!

    We are waiting about a year or so. I would love to start right now but we want to be newlyweds for a little bit of time.

    At least a year. We hope to move to London for a few years, to travel Europe, and then move back stateside and settle down. We'll rent our current house out in the meantime.

    Right away! FH and I have been together almost 7 years and have had our time to ourselves and did quite a bit of traveling over the past few years so it makes sense to us to start right away!

    We aren't trying, but we also aren't preventing. Smiley smile I have an 11 yr old daughter and FH has a 6 year old son. I'm almost 30 and FH just turned 31, so we don't want to wait too much longer. We want to be able to enjoy each other without kids before we get too old. Smiley smile We'd also like to get a bigger house before having another one, but we'll see what happens.

    Right away, although I would love to go on some trips before we have kids. Thankfully I know my parents will watch them after they are born so we can still travel, just not as much.

    I'm not sure if I want children. FH does but says he will support either decision. I'm a huge animal person & am perfectly content with having animals. However, if we do TTC it will be 2-3 years after we are married. I don't want to rush things & I feel as though I wil know by then if having children is really what I want in life.
