I definately do not think that having children makes you more secure in a relationship, children are wonderful and amazing, but honestly they make a relationship a bit harder, they take up so much of your attention and time, and when they are newborn it is easy to lose focus of each other. I think it's an amazing experience to have with another person, but security, no way. I have 3 children and am divorced, I probably could've used my children to guilt my husband into staying, but who wants to stay with someone who doesn't want to be with you?? I'm not sure why any woman would want to be with a man who wants to go somewhere else, if you feel like you have to make your relationship with him more secure by having a child with him, then maybe you shouldn't be in a relationship with him in the first place. On the other hand, I totally agree, that someone could love someone enough that they might want to have a child with them when before they may have thought they were done having kids.
