		<description><![CDATA[There are a number of benefits to being older parents.  First of all, the basic premise of having children tends to be different.  Younger couples get married, and have children generally as the next step in a relationship.   However, for older parents, having a baby is often more of a choice.  It’s not an obligation or an expectation, as it is in many cases with younger marriages. Generally, there is a lot of thought given and preparation made before welcoming a child into their lives. While there are certainly great parents in their 20’s, there is a tendency for younger parents to grow up along with their children.  They frequently do not have the patience, financial stability and life experiences that come with being older parents.
