Um, maybe....

Fox has an article today suggesting--OK, original source is a tabloid, so keep that in mind--that the recent split of Sofia Vergara and soon-to-be ex-husband Joe Manganiello has to do with his desire for children, a desire not shared by Ms. Vergara.  OK, fair enough, but what strikes me is that if it's a super important thing to have children....maybe marrying a woman who was already 43 wasn't the brightest idea?

In moments of similar genius, another couple features a woman who "froze her eggs" to allow pregnancy in her mid forties--as her 58 year old husband (with whom she does not live) does not want children.  Again, if it's that important to have children, maybe....get married a bit earlier to someone who won't be 80 by the time the kid graduates from college?

It seems that all too often today, we're willing to forget little basics like "biology".  We need to learn that salaries and relationships are negotiable, but fertility and life expectancy are not.
