I mean how often the subject is brought up by friends and family before marriage is. It's more often I get asked about kids than "when are you going to pop the question?"
Within a relationship, though, discussing kids and such are definitely something that should be done well before marriage.
Ah okay, I figured that since the rest of your argument seemed reasonable, but I wanted to verify since it struck me as odd.
As for your actual meaning, that is definitely a weird yet amusing trend. I haven't really heard much of either from my family
What do you mean by this? Do you mean that the topic of children should not be brought up before marriage between two people in a relationship? Or do you mean that the topic gets brought up by family members before you're married?
