Strange for an Arab Guy....

mmmm..normally arab men likes kids.....anyhow, your husband is the bread winner and he knows your financial capacity whether you both are ready to raise a child or not....so i think he is conscious into it...

if he loves you and is sure that you are the one and if you were married for more than 6 months hence enjoyed all them fun of newly married people,then he should have children of you decide before it is late

Whatever you do, NEVER trick him into getting pregnant as some previous posts suggested. Guys hate that.

Finance and boys are the best of the life.Before a child comes, Allah ensures livelihood, food and every things.

When our children grows and be helpful to us, we will wish if we had a lot of righteous children. And true that raising children is not easy but wonderful.

A prayer, supplication will satisfy your husband to have a children. And you will be happy to see your children grow up together in front of your eyes.

Waited for news pleasing to you soon.

Hi, here is the best answer, lol:

First: Tell him you are pregnant.

Second: Watch him closely.

Third: Depends on his reaction, you will know what to do next :))

Good luck, I'm sure you will be a great mother, since you love them too much.

:D

Alright... let me give you a point of view of a GUY!

Read carefully... in my opinion, most of the answers here are weak.

Why? They say guys don't easily take a HINT.

Here's the answer... just say it! It's a communication process that begins with honesty. I believe intimate relationships should begin with the TRUTH.

Second, MARKETING...

I'm a marketing guy.. so Packaging is one of the most important thing to attract and increase excitement.

Wear something nice tonight for your HUBBY. I guarantee you... it will sell 100%!

Yihaaa!

Hi Princesse (Great name by the way)

As an older man with four kids I'll give you a man's perspective. Assuming you have a happy relationship and assuming you're in secure job(s)

Men "generally" want to prepare for life's eventualities.

So they want to have a good job with good prospects and they tend to want to get into the expensive things in life, like buying a house and a nice car. It's a male version of bulding a nest.

So questions for you to think about are;

1. Do you have a "nest"?

2. Are you financially secure?

3. Does your husband have a good career?

4. Are your husbands work colleagues family men?

5. Are your husbands social colleagues family men?

If he's risk averse he may want to be sure that you can afford children. it may be that you are happy to have children now but he isn't.

OK that's the easy bit, having dome some analysis (and I can already see the responses saying don't be so analytical just go for it!) you need to take some action.

Find the right time (you'll know when) and discuss how you feel. You may be surprised at what he's thinking.

Tell him honestly that you'd like to start a family (we men need to be told, not good at guessing) Ask him if not now, when does he think will be a good time? (and why)

Communication never hurts and you may surprise each other with how you feel.

Hope that helps.

Good luck

If he needs convincing them 4 sure he not ready. Not a good idea to push him, its u and future kids that will suffer, at the end of the day he can walk away, u and kids cant!!! Think hard, talk and if he still not into it, find a new hubby!

salam,

you have to apply some sales techniques in this and you should know an important sales technique is that to create a need, so think in that way, if he is religious you can convince him by telling the facts regarding this, if he is a realistic person you can say something like family name to carry, someone to takecare in the old age and so on and the most important fact is that a girl can convince a man very easily in some situations, atlast apply that

I'll tell u an easy way...

Whenever u go to any place for eg malls or at a friends house... when u c a kid.. spend some time with them.. let him c u playing with the kid... let him c u adorning the kid... and pass some poking comments like " i wish i had a baby like this". let him hear that...

when u leave the kid.. just act as though ur not able leave the kid...

try this for sometime...

And if he really loves.... He'll give u what u want

Hows that!!!

If you need to work hard at convincing him then he is probably not ready.

If you force him into it he may well resent it later.

Just tell him how you feel and why it is important to you. He may well come around on his own.

Stop the pills, and tell him when you are pregnant, then he will like the idea...

It's sort of not really up to him, is it? LOL

Just assure him you are on the pill and then forget to take them.

he might have a point once they come you're stuck with them for ever so take advantage of this time (work, enjoy yourself, save some money to provide a good future for them...)

but if you insist tell him that you're really bored here and you might get crazy if you don't get anything to fill your time with he might accept if you complain alot it worked with my neighbor so good luck anyway

Salaam ...

Just tell him that following things to be seriously consider for your children planning:

1) Age factor ... more you delay more you getting close to old age and your child will be growing !

2) Children (specailly boy) runs the generation ... so to keep your generation alive you need to have kids.

3) It is a Sunnah to have Kids.

4) More ealry you have Kids ... more early they will grow you and look after you when you will be like a KID !!! you will not be able to eat yourself, your kidz will feed you, cannot go to toilet yourslef, your kids will takecare of you, you will not be able to drive, your kidz will take you around etc...

If not tell him to read my message and THINK 10times before he goes to bed.

Inshah'Allah, Allah will bless you both with a Baby soon.

This is tricky question, try applying sales techniques, every one has a way to be approached, see what is more important to him in life, try to link this to how having kids will enhance it or support it and go from there..

An example, say some one is very proud of his family name, the key may be that the child would carry has name after him .. legacy issues

good luck
