Discussing number of kids before marriage
I’m curious about this and wanted perspectives from both men and women, especially people who are married, engaged, or seriously considering marriage.
Did you discuss the number of kids you wanted before marriage or during the talking stage? Is that considered a normal/reasonable thing to bring up with a potential partner?
Also, do most men generally prefer big families if finances aren’t an issue, or are smaller families becoming more common now?
As a woman, if she strongly prefers only 1–2 kids, is that usually seen as a red flag or taken negatively during marriage talks? As if she isnt family oriented?
Just wondering how people in Pakistan usually approach this topic and what kind of reactions are generally expected. And what is general preference for men and women, when it comes to number of kids and gap between kids. As in are people generally mindful of healthy gap between kids and understand and prioritize woman health?
