How can we tell if we are ready to have a child?

Having a child is a big committment and should be taken seriously. There are a few good guidelines that I recommend to people.

1st) Do both spouses want to have a child now?

2nd) Are you ready for the responsibility of being a parent?

3rd) Do you feel comfortable with your spouse? In having a child you are inviting a child into your home. Every child deserves a loving home.

4th) Are you ready to give up some of your personal time?

5th) Do you have any unresolved fears?

6th) Are you financially capable of taking care of a child?

7th) Can you give the child the love that it deserves?

8th) Do you feel good about having a child?

If couples can answer these questions with a yes, having a child is a good idea.
