Hi, I am getting married in a couple of months, wife is about 7 yrs younger than me (I'm 25, she's 18). Parents want me to have kids but I want to let my wife settle down and get comfortable before we think of children (I have said 2-3 years). I have advised parents of this and have clearly said "I don't want to talk about this", however I fear my mother may speak with my wife directly. I have spoken with wife numerous times on phone, haven't seen her as I am not in India and she seems very caring with good nature and I don't want to do anything that may cause her to think she is being forced, rather I want her to trust me and for that, I will need to give her time given her age and her personality/ nature.

My parents are quiet at the moment, but I am not happy and have advised them to not speak with me regarding my personal life, anything else is good.

 

Please advise

Please don't take my advice seriously but i want you to consider my rambling as an outsider's "not too important" opinion. 

I think you are marrying a person who is basically just right out of 12th grade. You have big task ahead of couple of years not only to settle her down but also to change her Indian mentality. I got married when I was your age. 

Your fiancé still has 3 to 4 years of study to complete as in this world single person's income is not the lifestyle anymore. After education, it will take another two year to find and settle down with new job.

Family planning comes 6 years after your marriage. You should also seriously consider to meet her before marriage. I don't mean few days before marriage but at least few months.

Hi, thanks for your reply @ CKJI.

@Cloud - I had become married in India a couple of years ago and it didnt work out, basically what happened was girl and her family were interested in using me for visa purposes as I am a foreigner therefore that is done and finished. I have spent considerable time and carefully considered the girl and her family's behavior as I do not want to be betrayed again and I have not found any reason to doubt them. No-one is forcing me to marry her, it is my decision.

it is entirely upto the girl who gets married;  when she decides to get children.  Personally; I see no problem if she came and got children first, raised then up then became a career woman.  This will have given her time to meet other parents,  teachers and talk about her career choices. When she starts work;  children will be older. She will be more comfortable as no family forming issues. Obviously it all depends on the financial situation of your family. The younger she is, the more easier it is to keep up with kids. This way she will not have a career break specifically for raising or looking after children.

Great advice. 

 

And it's your life, and hers. You two decide when you want kids, not your parents. They need to mind their own business.

You should learn from first bad experience.

"Idle mind is devils workshop" once you have kids bibi's don't have time to fool around they become busy.

@Guest, don't listen to any of this: In fact don't if we all followed his advice, Bhai Jugraj Singh would be a sinner:

"Being a Parcharak doesn't mean you can say & do anything on a public platform there are do's & don'ts.

If you knew what karma triggered your health problem wouldn't you advice dear one's not to commit the same deeds ?"

Agree with @Jacfsing2 Paji, don't listen to this nonsense. If she's going to fool around, she'll do it no matter what. And why have you made the female to fool around? Men are also capable of doing it. But what's new, you're always pointing fingers at women ?. 

On another note, although it's good to have children at an earlier age than later in marriage, but she's only 18 years old, so she does need time to adjust to the country and way of living also. This is between the both of you as a couple though, to decide about when the right time is for your family planning. 

You should work on getting to know each other better, building trust in your relationship and spend quality time together and enjoy life as a newly married couple.

Brother if that's the case, try to stop your engagements in India 

-It's long distance: and the goray make jokes about relationships being long distance, they don't work

-Marrying someone at a young age is hard as she is still a teen, let her make her own decisions at a older age, otherwise problems WILL OCCUR.

-Marrying two cultures will definitely be hard, especially if your from the west and you would rather talk about Politics; and she's from the pind and wants to talk suits.. you guys will rarely ever have EK JOT (a united mind with each other)

-If you're anywhere close to gursikhi, and she's not, this is only going to drag your ties with gurbani down

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
