Some people have an easy way of starting a family. I once found it difficult. Lack support and money and I was late to get married.
Anybody has the same experience as mine? Share here.
Thanks.

Starting your own family is another chapter of our lives. It is a period of adjustment, additional responsibility, obligations, decision making, etc. Definitely it will not be an easy life but full of challenges.

That is so unfortunate for you to get married late. Some it is ok. Other as you mentioned got married late because of those circumstances. I was lucky to get married early at 21 and now first born got married two weeks I go. When I walk around with my children people mistake my children for my brothers and sisters. I am not going to be bogged with children. I have lots of time to enjoy life, get out of family chores and go around drink, play golf etc. This is for me a good experience. It may not be good for some.

One of my friends married when she was 38 years old. She gave birth to a baby daughter when she was 39 years old. Then she got pregnant again three months after her first child was born. She gave birth to her baby son when she was 40 years old. So she rushed to have her family before it was too late I think.

I got married to my Australian boyfriend in my early twenties and had my oldest son when I was 22 years old. Six years later we got divorced. I had another relationship which gave me my toddler son when I was 34 years old and my baby daughter when I was 36 years old. I haven't wanted to get married a second time. If it fails the first time around I don't think it is worth trying again. These days it is possible to be living together or single and have children. I am sorry to hear that you found it hard to make a family.

I got married at age 30 and I have been married for almost nine years now.
Since I got married, I found married life very fulfilling.
I don't think it is difficult to have a happy family.

hi man2sting wellyes and no, we started on a shoestring and we were older than lots,I was 32 and my husband was 37 and our only regret was that we wished we had met eah other when I was 22 and he was 27 but it just did not happen that way. we had our ups and downs but it was a great marriage for 33 years, I have been a widow a long time now. oh we were never wealthy but rich in our love for each other and our children too.

it is hard. we need a big money to get married. the celebration, having a baby, giving a birth, money for education, for health. the lsit feels like never end if i told u.
but i believe that God will gave us Money if we work hard. and everything can be handle.
