Millennial Interfaith Couple Shares Pro Tip: 'Have The Kid Conversation Early'

Antonia Blumberg

When Frank and Medina Fredericks first sat down for coffee together in 2008, they didn’t waste any time with small talk.

“Frank had 20 questions for me,” Medina joked to The Huffington Post over the phone.

The tactic worked for Medina, who is a few years older than Frank and said she “wasn’t just dating for fun.” At the top of both of their agendas was a topic many couples save for much later -- whether they want to have kids, and if so, how they'd want to raise them.

“It was clear to both of us it could be a disqualifier if we didn’t like each other’s answer,” Frank said.
