Funny I found this stuff out when I got to the office….because while I was waiting for my chiropractic adjustment, I met this really nice woman and we struck up a conversation about children. There were many in the office running around with their parents.  Its usually cute to see the kids, but this was pretty chaotic. We talked about how we are both single and are pretty okay with the whole notion of maybe not having kids. She went on to say at 32, she didn’t know if marriage was something she wanted to get into anytime soon because along with that comes kids. This is how she put it…”Because of my beliefs and my upbringing in church, Marriage come with kids.  That’s how it should be.”

My drive to work after that was time for me to think about that statement.  I’ve never really thought that you giving your hand in marriage meant you giving your hand over to dirty diapers and late nights of crying and feeding.  As I’ve written before on here “Marriage is an option.”  and so (in my view) “Kids are an option.” 

I don’t mean that AT ALL in a negative way against what she believes…and I completely understand the whole unplanned pregnancy aspect that can be a factor.  I want to find out what you all think about kids being a must or next step in marriage…or a choice that you have once you’re married.

More random thoughts later…
