Each time I go to malls, I saw new generation of youngsters dating very closed to each other, some are way too serious an some just playing arround. We need to give advices to our friends, which is which? to have a family or not to have it. Many survive without one. Give some insights guys...

Why not to have? Ask them to spend some time with a newborn baby for just an hour, they would know what the family means in life. Why not to remain in accordence to nature? Reproduction is a duty for all living beings, one must execute it. Nurturing is a holy and happy thing to do in life, why to avoid it? Few people are just coward of the responsibilities hence they hide behind the bushes, that's all. There is no point in advising these people, I would call them abnormal.

I think person is different. I would hope that they take their time and know what they want before they get married and start a family. I think it is important to have that clear in your mind before one jumps into it. Yet how often do people really do that? Common sense doesn't always play a role when it comes to the matters of the heart. It would be nice if before we got married they had us answer all of these questions but you know I still think people would be blinded by what their heart is saying and do it anyway. I have the benefit of age and so can weigh these kinds of things but I know when I was young I didn't do it. Maybe that is why I have been through two marriages.
