Married July 20, 1997
Fist child born Dec. 4, 2001
So, married a little under four an half years before our first was born. And I don’t regret that time because it gave us some time to grow closer together, mature, and generally prepare to start a family. I look at that period as “our time” and I would not trade it for anything.

Three years and 4 months after we were married.

Married a year and 2 months before our first (and only so far) was born.
Wife and I waited until we were older than average to both get married and have children, and it's been a huge blessing. We own our home and have paid off vehicles, so my wife can get by working part time at a job she enjoys (coaching gymnastics) while I make enough to support us.
The smartest thing we've ever done is waiting until we're in the position to do that to start a family, and no strangers will be raising our kids. Second one is on the way now

Married 11/91. First one born 5/97.
So about 5 1/2 years.
Kind of part of the plan-- wife was in med school when we married, needed to get that over with and then residency beforehand. Also bought our first house 2 years before the 1st baby.
We had baby # 2 three and a half years afterwards, and that was it.

9 years. We moved around the country and experienced a lot and had a lot of fun and made great memories, but I really love being a dad and kind of wish I had started sooner now.

9 days short of 3 years.
We agreed that the first two years were going to be our time to adjust to married life and enjoy time with each other and travel some before starting a family.
Then we had 3 kids in the next 7 years and 8 months.

Got married 7 months before our first was born. Been married 26 years now... it's been a hell of a roller coaster.
Young newlyweds always ask me what advice I have to sustain a long marriage. They expect me to say something romantic and my advice is... don't quit. If you are a quitter you'll never be married long. Each of us has had a dozen reasons for divorce over the years.. each time we didn't quit and came out better for it.
