Patricia, you're right---when you are ready to make the commitment of starting a family you will probably know! Congratulations on thinking of starting a family though! Personally, if I was a newleywed I would want to wait a couple of years to spend time with my husband and become established. However, some people wait too long to start a family because they want everthing to be perfect. But life isn't always perfect. Sometimes, when you think things are bad--they get worse! It really depends on your individual situation. Is there something you are waiting for before you want to start a family?
