    BeschrijvingOne of the biggest challenges in a modern relationship is discussing if you want children or not. Research shows that for various reasons a lot of couples postpone the conversation. But what if you want to have children and your partner is of the complete opposite opinion?

    Assistant professor of Demography Billie de Haas advocates for couples to bring up if you want children in time and to frequently revisit the topic. ‘Start talking about this topic in time to avoid being faced with unpleasant surprises when you are already settled and it then turns out that you are not of one mind when it comes to children. The desire to have children can change so don’t leave it at one conversation.’
