Re: How much of your decision to marry your husband
I never really thought about that, actually. After we met I could just "see" us getting married. When we first met, his neice was a baby and I used to love to watch him with her. He loves kids and I guess I just know that he will be a good Dad. The thought that he might not be a good dad has never crossed my mind.

Zero, I never wanted children.
Same here. Neither of us ever wanted children.

It was a big part but not because I was looking for a dad for my children. I think a lot of the qualities that go into being a good dad are the same qualities I was looking for in a husband.
Fun
Loving
Caring
Loyal
Reliable
Responsible
Intelligent
I already knew that having children was not a guarantee for anyone when I got married. But if I'm spending a lifetime with someone without children, I'd want the same characteristics.
I had trouble answering the question, becuase this was exactly how I felt but couldn't articulate it.
ETA I was 28 when I got married and think what I wanted at that point was alot different than what I would have wanted at 23 or 24.

Heh.
When Rob and I first started dating he called babies 'money sucking screamboxes' and said he didn't want any. This was almost a dealbreaker since I was sure that I DID want children.. but we dated anyway. Then i got pregnant!
We didn't get married and I was worried that a person who didn't want to be a dad would be a horrible father. It was a stressful pregnancy. We moved in together 2 days before our oldest son was born... and once the baby was born - something in him switched on. I loved him before.. but seeing him with our son just cemented it.
We had another son before we decided to get married and actually only got married in May.
So my decision to marry my husband was 0% on what I believed his ABILITy to be a good father was and about 50% based on what a good father he ACTUALLY was.
you have no idea how much hope this gives me!!

Re: How much of your decision to marry your husband
It was close to 100%...we had Bella's name picked out from almost day 1. He had a not so great dad and I had a crappy mom...so this was important to us.
We were also best friends for 4 years before getting together, I knew exactly how he was going to be.
My only shock was...he was even better

Re: How much of your decision to marry your husband
A LOT of it. The fact that he helped care for his niece when she was a newborn and was a "manny" to two little boys to help put himself through school was something that really made me think I can marry this man. And he is an incredible father

Re: How much of your decision to marry your husband
0! Honestly, it didn't even enter my mind. And we're married almost three years and I still have no interest in kids so I still don't think about it. I know he will be a great dad, but it's not something I ever think about really. Maybe if he showed signs that he wouldn't be a good dad, his role as a daddy would be more present in my mind.
