How to deal with husband not wanting to start a family yet?

We've been married for a year and a half, and I'm more than ready to start a family. My husband doesn't want to yet, he wants to wait 1-3 years. He says he's not ready yet, and I completely understand that. But how can I help him.... get ready? How to deal with husband not wanting to start a family yet?
If he's not ready he's not ready. But you may want to point out to him that nobody is ever ';really ready';, until you have a child you have no idea if you are ready or not. You may think you are totally prepared but when baby shows up, you may find that you were not, or vice versa, you may think 'There is no way I can have a baby' and then when baby arrives you think 'I could have done this along time ago!' Honestly, you never really know until the time comes for baby to enter your life. That may help him ';get ready'; if this is pointed out to him. If he's afraid he'll lose his current lifestyle, he's right, a child changes everything about your life, if that is what he's afraid of then I would say he truly isn't ready and there isn't going to be much you can do about that!





Another thing I did want to point out is that it takes couples on average 6 months to conceive a baby and then you are pregnant for 10 months, so baby isn't just going to come tomorrow if you decide you want a baby! There is a lot of time to prepare!How to deal with husband not wanting to start a family yet?
Yeah, my husband was reluctant too until he saw that look on my face and realize how desperately I wanted another one. He gave in and now he's so excited, especially after feeling the baby kick for the first time. But, 1 year isn't that long to wait. Tell him he has to give you a better time frame other than 1-3 years. And, the fact is, no of us are ready 100% for a baby. You make yourself as prepared as you can be. Ask exactly what is holding him back and what does he mean by ';not being ready.';
talk to him about why he doesn't feel things aren't the right time. is it mental, physical, financial etc.. then work together to aliviate his stress over that factor and possibly work out a time line for when you both agree would be reasonable.. also express to him why you feel you are ready now and would prefer not to wait. In the end you will have to comprimise but it's better to talk now than wait 3 years and then he's still not sure. Best of luck, communication is the key here!
There could be several different reasons. How old are you? If you're both young he may just want to enjoy his youth a little longer. How is your financial situation? Are you guys doing alright, doing great, or just barely scraping by? Babies are expensive. It could be possible he wants to better your finances or save more money before you guys have kids just to make sure they are well taken care of. It's very possible that he wants to wait and see how this economic crisis we're in plays out before starting a family. It really is a bad time to add extra expenses right now. Another possibility is he would just like a little more you and him time before you add the stresses of a family. The best thing I can tell you is talk to him about it. Whatever his reason is be understanding about it and work things out together.
Im not sure you can help him get ready, lol. I guess you could just explain your feelings but this could turn into nagging, ask him if he can comprimise jus a lil
you can't help him get ready. Just talk to him and ask questions that need specific answers. Specific reasons he is not ready. Believe me, don't be in too much of a rush. Enjoy the time you have together. I think I would have waited a little while longer if I had the chance. Once you have a child a lot of things change. No one is really ever prepared. There are so many things that come with having a baby. You need to make sure that this is something you and your husband want.
