I of course do not think as Empathy does. I personally believe a couple is comprised of equal partners, best friends, and needs to be thoughtful of each other in the way best friends are. and that husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend or partners of whatever ilk should find what works for them as a couple and family. No one on this forum can give anyone general advise for any give family's decision. Just our own perspective of experience at best. That's all anyone can take from this forum, but that is what its useful for.

I was in a similar situation. My wife and I were both teachers, and were married for 4 years before I started med school. I wanted to start med school in 2000, was accepted into AUC & Ross. I taught HS biology for 4 years, and my desire to become a physician never waned, but increased. I finally decided to attend med school in 2004.

In order to help ease my wife's concern, I took her to various school open houses, spoke to numerous physicians, and people currently in med school. This helped my wife be more relaxed about the decision. Feel free to send me a PM, maybe you can have your wife talk to mine. I totally understand the comfort issue.

I suggest you talk to her and tell her that the both of you need to grow up as parents. You've been married for 6 years already and I think you're right in planning ot have a baby. A family will never be complete without a child. Sometimes you need to sacrifice the kind of lifestyle that you are living to find your true happiness.

That's a pretty long road to travel without your wife's full support. Even longer if she's determined to make some babies.
