Why does he think he is too old? And why does he think two children constitute a large family? This is what you need to find out!

The terms "too old" and "big" are completely subjective, and mean different things to different couples, and to both partners in the couple. You need to thoroughly discuss the situation to discover why he feels this way, and what other reasons may be at the root of his decision. For example, does he think he will not have the energy at this point in his life to raise another child? Is he at a point in his life where he does not want additional pressure or change? Is it for medical reasons? Or is he simply unwilling to have more children for some reason?

There is No Easy Solution

It would have been better if they had communicated honestly BEFORE they got married.

There is no easy solution to this problem. The only thing you can do is to communicate honestly and openly about this to try to come to a compromise.

That's not the ONLY thing that she could do. She could divorce him if he isn't the man for her.

Have you talked to him and presented your reasons for why you want to have another child? Is he willing to compromise?

Show Him Examples

Here are some examples that she could use. But that does not make it right for them.

Some practical things you could do to present your case are to point out examples of couples who have had children later in life. Maybe you could even talk to them together to address some of your concerns.

Another thing you should do is wait at least a few months before bringing it up again. Since you just had a baby 11 months ago and are recently married, he may not be ready yet to even think about another child. In fact, it may take him quite awhile to warm up to the idea.

Be persistent, but at the same time be patient and respect how he feels. It is a huge responsibility to bring a child into the world, and the last thing you should do is pressure him into it.
