Having Children Is Less of a Commitment Than Marriage?

from The Remedy Podcast · host Chlly Nichole

What's going on everyone!! Today we're talking about something that might make a few people uncomfortable, but you know that's where some of the best conversations happen. I want to talk about this idea that our thinking around marriage and children might be completely backwards. Somehow we've become a society where people will have a baby together after a few months of dating, but the idea of marriage feels too serious. People say things like: "I don't know if I'm ready to get married." But they'll have a child with someone. And I just want to ask the question: How did we get here? Because from where I'm sitting, having a child with someone is one of the biggest commitments you can make. Not because children are a burden—they're a blessing. But because a child connects you to another person for the rest of your life. Marriage can end. Parenting doesn't. Let's talk about it. Make sure to like, comment and share the episode with your friends and family.  Want to get in on an episode or have some ideas you'd like to talk about? DM me and we will get things started!!!
