Hello!
First a bit about myself, I am a convert (going on 3 years), Married for 2 years to a member who grew up in the church, preparing to go to the temple (received my recommend). I work full-time at a pretty good job but I don't get any real satisfaction from it. My husband works part-time but there is a possibility to go full-time and it pays decently and we have benefits.
I'll just say it, I'm ready to have children. I actually have been having dreams about it and I have prayed and feel like now is the time for us and that our children are ready to come into this world.
Here's what I need help with, my husband wants to wait to have children until he is financially able to care for them/me. What I think, is that by the time we have children he will be working full-time (we have to hope) and that we can budget and it will be fine (we have good support and could get clothes and food from members of the church if needed). I also think that there will NEVER be a PERFECT time and that we should just do it because we both want to have a large family. We have been married over 2 years and I'm 24 and my husband is 25.
I'm looking for stories of encouragement to share with my husband as well as any talks, scriptures or church reference about families/ budgeting with a family and making it work. As a convert, I don't have the same depth of knowledge as I know some of you have!
thanks for your response!
