All my friends are having children... what now? All the Things

- Personal Journals
One of my least favorite questions is, are you pregnant yet or when are you getting pregnant?
There's quite of bit of pressure in both questions along with guilt and shame because you're not where everyone wants you to be. While well-intentioned in the questioning, what we don't realize is that there are hurting women, husbands, and wives who fear the confrontation of childbearing.
In this episode I take the approach of how to phrase that question as well as encourage couples to refrain from giving in the poor reason of expanding their family:
Because everyone is having childrenIn order to please your significant otherTo keep your marriage from falling apartLet's shift how we ask women and couples about expanding their families and let's avoid the pressure to move to the next phase of life with ill-intentioned reasons.
