Some good advice from Godders and TSS. Just a couple if bits on that. I am ecstatically married and a great family life; we returned from honey moon pregnant and then had our second child born before our second wedding anniversary with both conceived within wedlock. This is my 14th year of happy marriage, so having kids early can work.
Secondly, I'll share the bit of advice that I was given the day before our wedding, whilst living in Wigan. This was from my wife's very Northern boss:
"Keep her well ****ed and short of cash; if she's well ****ed she won't go looking elsewhere for any and if she's short of cash, she won't be able to afford to go looking"
I apologise for the language but it is honest and funny advice which is actually pretty good. Qwerty, I dare you to use that in your speech!!
