There’s always this question, “so when is the first born coming??”. Is it so important to bear a child within the first year of marriage? Or is it okay to take time, until the couple feels the ready for it? What do they have to say, lets know.

I believe that the gap between marriage and first child should be 2-3 years. Having said this, it always don’t have to be 2-3 years, it also depends on mutual understanding between husband and wife. If both of them are ready mentally, physically and now-a-days financially ready, then I think that’s the right time. When both of the spouse knows what’s good and what’s bad i.e. they both should be mature enough to absorb the responsibilities that comes along with baby. Swastima and I had thought about it and we are not ready for now and for at least 2-3 years not expecting the first child

There is no ideal duration to wait for, before you have your first child. Bringing a child into your lives is a big responsibility and you should take this step, when you as a couple feel is the right time. Couples who get married in their early twenties have a lot more time in their hands, before they want to take this big step. Whereas the ones, who get married much later, might have lesser time, so it depends on that as well. However I feel there is no need to rush into this decision

Nikhil Tuladhar and Kimiko

We would like to have kids 2-4 years after our wedding. This would allow us to get to know each other even more, as we can focus on each other and our immediate family and find the little (and big joys) of the beginning stages of a marriage together. Additionally, it would give us time to settle in to home life, further our careers and continue our passion of travel to different parts of the world together. These experiences build an even more solid relationship and will allow us time to experience other joys of life before the big adventure of starting a family. Then, we will be ready to put all our energy into raising a child (or children) and giving them all our love and support.
