Is having a child a race?

That is the question I've been thinking lately...
There are so many, I repeat, so many people ask about when we're gonna have children? are we on a birth control programe? are both of us OK? hve we seen doctors and receive treatment?
And the most cruel thing that they can possibly do to me is : making statement that we lose, that couple and or this couple have already won the race.....of having babies.
I just don't get it. What a shallow mind to think that not having a baby (yet) means losing?
Is it a race? No need to answer that because I've known the answer.

I love you, too....

M (Mar) : Hon...
E (Ed) : yah..
M : do you love me?
E : hmm...yes.
M : Honey, do you really really love me?
E : Yes, why do you ask? Is everything's OK?
M : Everything's fine, just want to know for sure...
E : Yes, I love you, really really love you.
I may not be able to show you everytime, you know me (he means he is not an expressive type of man).
Be assured, I love you so much from the depth of my heart..
M : OK then, promise me...you'll never leave me, no matter what...
E : Sure. Crossing my heart!
M : I love you......really really love you too.....

Note : the conversation took place a couple nights ago. :) happy to remember it. May our love grow strong each and every day til death do us apart!
