I didn't know, "He's the one". He was just a normal( okay intensive 
:-)) crush all 18year olds have, except it didn't go away! We got 
engaged after 2years, but decided to wait with the marriage until we 
where both secure in our jobs and could really afford to be on our 
own. So it was a total of nearly 10years before we got married.

I'm really grateful for that, because our marriage had a really hard 
start then ( our daughter was born 3months too early, a year of 
hospital followed, she remained slightly disabled!) I was alway sure 
our relationship could go through this desaster, many other mothers I 
know from the babies-intensive-care-unit have to raise their children 
alone (premature babies are not the fat, beautiful babies you always 
wanted to have,Although they have a beauty of their own if you look 
behind all the technic in the room).

Now, after another 9years, I'm sure this very severe crisis fastened 
the relationship. It was only possible, because we already had so many 
years together and din't wnat to give it up!

I got slightly out of topic, but I think the point is important. Many 
people want to have children quite in the beginning of a relationship 
witthout thinking what would happen *if something went wrong*

Mecki!
Who loves her husband even more because he adores both his kids just 
like I do
