Abstract

There are many young married couples who are trying to plan out their lives; one thing they’re deciding is the best time to have children. There are many things to consider when planning for a family, such as, finances, fertility rates, mental preparedness and many others. This research aims to break down these aspects of planning for a family to decide when the best time, for young married couples, is to have children. Research was studied from academic databases, interviews from mothers, therapists, and parenting blogs that provided many points of views on when to start a family. From this research I can conclude that although young married couples should wait a few years into their marriage to have children, they should have children before they are 30 years old. It is important to recognize that all couples and situations are different, and it’s ultimately up to the couple to decide on their family situation, however, the results of my research indicate, the best time for young married couples to have children is after being married for a few years in their 20s.
