When you get into a serious relationship, there are a few areas where it is pretty much non-negotiable to have the same outlook. One of the most important of these topics is whether or not you both want to have kids. Becoming a parent is one of the most seismic changes that a person can go through, and more often than not it will drastically affect how you are as a couple as well.
Despite this, there are plenty of relationships and marriages out there that face issues because of a child-wanting gap. Sometimes an individual's ideas about having kids will change over time, and they hope that the same will happen with their partner—or, they hide their true feelings about starting a family because it makes the relationship easier to maintain in the short term. It is no shock that when this happens, things will often end badly.
