In my observations in our society today,there is an increasing rate up to ninety percent of men that prefer their woman to be pregnant before marriage, reason been that they feel most women have messed up their wombs out of youthful exuberance and may not be able to concieve again and for this reason most bachelors wouldn't want to stay in a marriage without a child and at such they prefer having a confirmed pregnancy result before proceducing for any marital right, what are your stand on this?
In the western world, no body thinks of this ideology. This often or mostly happens in Africa where people think that childbearing is more important than their relationship. But in an actual sense what matters most is love. you don't need to impregnate your spouse to be sure if she is potent, what matters in a relationship is love, respect and understanding. So if Both are good then children should come as a gift. But if for any reason children are not coming, there is room for adoption. So we don't Mary for children, we Mary for love. Children should come as a gift from God. If you are so much concerned about children without considering the other characters you may be misleaded to make a wrong choice or decision because of confirming if your spouse is fertile. Then what if you impregnate her and confirm she is fertile while you are not yet ready for that marriage, are you going to force her into abortion? Or will you go ahead to Mary her after she is pregnant knowing true well that she has bad character?
