Tomorrow I was set to host a baby shower for some ladies in my Bible study. There are four — yes four — pregnant women in the group. Or should I now say three, since one went into early labor and had baby Joshua yesterday. So we’re postponing the celebration.
Being newly married, it seems like the next question everyone asks is: “When are you going to have kids?” By this time, I’m used to it. Once you meet a special someone, people start asking when you’re going to get engaged. Then right after you get engaged, they want tons of wedding details. I’m also one to ask these types of questions, too, so I figure I should be able to answer.
Some newlyweds I know can’t stand being asked about starting a family. It’s like they hardly have enough time to enjoy being married. So, what do you think?

Great poll– it’s definitely interesting to see how people perceive these questions. I actually haven’t really been offended by them, but then again haven’t really been asked too often nor by people that would offend me. I think it’s just common for people to be curious about your life and the details. Comes with the territory of living in community I guess. And I guess it forces us to really think about these topics, have answers and be accountable. The reasons for people to be bothered are very valid but as much as we hope that subject to be private…that’s not always the case.
