We will all have different opinions about that one. My experience has been that waiting until you have a very decent saving account is important as you don't know whether your child(ren) will have special needs and that will impact the ability to have two incomes in your home. The friendship we shared was very strong because we had taken some years to build shared experiences and shared problem solving. We had already been tested by life and survived well as a couple, so when our son was born and needed 24 hours a day from me for years, we stayed together, didn't fight over any of it, and loved each other through it all. Our son is 18 now so we're doing very well! So make a plan for where you need to be to handle the stress and then make the plan happen.
