Megan Young and Mikael Daez share their thoughts on starting a family at an ideal age and the choice to make your own timeline.

In their latest podcast episode for Behind Relationship Goals, Mikael and Megan discussed their age, expectations for their age, and more.

One of the topics they touched on in this episode is starting a family. According to Megan, most people discuss when it comes to the age of a woman is their biological clock.

"One thing that I hear from a lot of people is like you have to get pregnant before you're 35. Because after you're 35, mahihirapan ka daw talaga magbuntis and to have a baby and to conceive. This is a factor that you know I think about from time to time," she said.

Megan confessed that people were telling her to think about getting pregnant soon.

"I am 31, I am turning 32 in a couple of months, and people keep bugging me na why don't you guys start trying to make kids already. Why don't you start having kids because you're almost 35 and we wouldn't want you to have a hard time when it comes to having a baby. What if it comes to a point that you pass that biological clock age and you can't have kids?"

According to Megan that she only feels a little pressure with the opinion of other people when it comes to pregnancy.

"For me, it's not a big factor. Maybe 5 percent pressure. Super konti lang. I think about it from time to time," she added.

Mikael explained that like Megan, he also doesn't want to have kids yet. However, there are some husbands who are also feeling the pressure to have a baby.

"At the end of the day, she is still the person that will become pregnant. I respect that," he said. "But I think there are certain situations wherein the husband feels more pressure on the biological clock of the woman when the woman is not ready yet."

Megan said that there every couple has a different timeline. "It depends on the couple. There are some couples that the husband wants it more than the wife or vice versa or both of them want to have kids right away."

Mikael mentioned the importance of communication and why couples should be open to their partner. "It's a tough situation kung hindi nag-a-align 'yung mga gusto ng couple. And I guess, that's where communication is key."

He continued, "I've seen some people ask already paano 'yan kung gusto ng isa, ayaw pa ng isang partner. Communication is really just key, and being open."

According to Mikael, people have to live their life the way they want. "Some people want to live their life live a certain way. But I always say, you're making so much pressure on life to go a certain way for you when there are literally countless other possibilities that are more likely to happen."

Mikael shared that his and Megan's secret is being open and just focusing on things that make them happy.

Being open is key to being happy. Whatever happens, come what may, sige lang nang sige. We'll just be happy just there.
