under pressure

i feel like i need to get this off my chest, it has been eating at me for a while now.
a lot of people have been asking josh and i about when we will have children.
*
i feel this is a VERY personal question. having children is something that should be between josh and myself and Heavenly Father. not between someone i just met, or someone who has known me a few years, or someone who just feels they should ask. it makes me feel so uncomfortable when people ask me questions about when we'll have children or about the birth control we are using. why is it anyone else's business?
*
our first year into marriage people began asking us when we wanted to start a family, and we have been under pressure ever since. josh and i have set goals that we want to accomplish before we have children.
i love my husband more than anything. i want to spend as much time as i can with him; just the two of us. i think people forget how young josh and i are. i was 19 and he was 21 when we got married. we want to enjoy time getting to know each other and creating memories.
**
when josh and i decide to have children it will be our choice! not a choice that is made because everyone around us is having children and its the popular thing to do.
