Before having children, there must be a couple who
have decided to spend their lives together, as long
as they can.

Babies are the product of love. Hopefully intense,
with wild abandon and the condom was no where to be found.

Love is unplanned.( otherwise known here as black swans?)

Adjustments will have to be made to accommodate the arrival
of babies. Stop smoking, stop alcohol, stop partying
reduce golf, stop gaming.

If there is a conscious effort to prevent having babies
then I believe the relationship may experience an emptiness.
Women beyond the age of 45 will not be biologically fertile
with real dangers of malformation of babies.

only thing i can add is from 36y/o onwards for women the risk of genetic problems like the common Down Syndrome is much increased

[By age 35, a woman's risk of conceiving a child with Down syndrome is about 1 in 350. By age 40, the risk is about 1 in 100, and by age 45, the risk is about 1 in 30. However, most children with Down syndrome are born to women under age 35 because younger women have far more babies.] - Mayo Clinic
