A married couple needs your advice about child raising matter?

wife 44,husband 57,married 4 years,both never had child ,in your opinion,for us to live a better life,should we raise kid at this time?A married couple needs your advice about child raising matter?
It would be a very big change. Are you both in good health? The risks in pregnancy become greater every year past 35; would you be able to handle a child with special needs, if you have to?





Think about this: when the child graduates high school, you will be 62 and your husband will be 75.





Also, think about what made you not have kids up until this point. do you feel like you're missing something by not having kids?





I'd sit down and make a list of pros and cons, really think about it and then make your decision.


If you really want a child and you're sure about it, go for it! But if you just feel that you 'should' because most people have kids in their life time, then I wouldn't. Some people don't have kids and that works for them.A married couple needs your advice about child raising matter?
Maybe look into adopting? having the chance to raise a child shouldn't have to just come from one source. There are a lot of complications with giving birth with women over 40 and the percentages of birth defects rise. So adoption could be a great option to start your little family without the stresses of newborns. But be careful, it does come with its own issues but if you are loving and understanding like you sound then it will be a wonderful thing to do. Looking into each option and talk with your partner to see which one you both want to do.
This is a decision that should be agreed between you and your spouse. There are lots of things to consider....like raising a teenager in 60's and in your spouse's case in his 70's. And, kids take alot of work, time, money, and love. Instead of retiring, you will be getting up in the middle of the nite, changing diapers, and watching Sesame Street. Is this something that you really want?
Only you and your husband can answer that question. Do you think that a child will better your lives or do you believe that your ages will cause some complications? There are so many things to consider before having a child at any age and only you can answer those questions.
not necessarily to live a better life. its on what you two decide. you dont have to have a kid to be happy. some people cant have kids and are fine. i would do it, but it depends on financial situations along with housing and you two making theres not gonna be a divorce. because theres nothing worse a kid can go through, except the death of somebody
Only have a child if you two are very sure you can financially support that child, emotionally support that child, and will live long enough to see the child to age 18 and hopefully beyond. Just my personal observation.
You should think about your health and the childs, at 44 your chances of consieving arn't that high, and your chances of something going wrong with the baby or pregnancy are much higher than if you had had your children 10 years ago. Maybe consider adopting?
Do you think having a child will improve your life?


Only the two of you can truly determine that.


If you both want a child that you can support


mentally, physically and emtionally, then go for it!
it would be a big change in your lifestyle...some things you would want to do would not be...have to stay home with kid..then the cost of raising child may be more than what you want...id look real hard at this and make sure this is really what you both want to do
depends how happy your marriage is i would really talk about it good luck
only if you both want to


that is the only way to decide
