Is one supposed to make the new-wedded wife pregnant on the wedding-night?

I believe that is referred to as the Big Bang Theory!

Only if each party is fertile, the woman is in or around ovulating time, no protection is used and the fertility god has been appeased*.

Our first son was born very nearly 9 months to the day of our wedding.


*Some might say "and you get lucky."

Is the wife a virgin or a veteran?


I ask because a virgin could have issues consummating the marriage the first night.

I don't recall there being a directive to do so anywhere? Perhaps some very strict fundamentalists believe that you should always try to conceive, as sex is sometimes viewed only for procreative purposes. I don't think this is the general consensus.

Why? Did someone tell you that?

My wife and I waited 3 years to have a baby.

Hello Hans12.

I certainly gave it the old college try.

I have never heard of it being held out as a requirement, but intercourse would be the generally accepted tradition on one's wedding night. Whether or not the bride is impregnated is (to my knowledge) rather a matter of chance.

Thanks.

Only if you've fallen through the time warp, and you're the King of England.
