I don't think the plan to have children is simply about finding a suitable mate. It's also about developing the skill set of being a good parent and having an enduring relationship that doesn't break apart after a few years.

I don't disagree with these points.

Can you clarify what you are suggesting by bringing them up?

I don't see a large extend of skill building in the post but it mainly being about effective ways of evaluating suitable mates.
