Should you be honest upfront?

Always be honest. A relationship built on a lie or lies will crumble fast....no trust will be there. Enjoy married life couple years then think about family.

Of course you should be honest. If you aren't honest now, it can ruin your relationship later. Maybe your future spouse doesn't want kids right away either, in which case you will be relieved.

i would inform my future husband about this and see what he haves to say. I always believe that honesty is the best policy, so it would be best for me to tell him straight about this. after all, getting married means commitment to each other, so it's only fair that he knows about this decision too. Good luck!

Its always best to be honest and up front, especially if you are marrying the person.

Of course, you should be honest about that and everything else. If you can't communicate before the wedding, then don't get married.

yes you should be honest and tell that you dont want to rush things and have childer just yet, and maybe in couple of years time you will be ready and you can have children. its better to be honest.

Yes, always be honest with your partner. I believe waiting to have children is a good thing. I know when I get married, me and my gf both agreed we would wait one year before having children.

Of course you should be honest. It's very important that you make a carrier first and children after. If you make those children first ... they will take all your time.
