The question posed relates to the awkwardness of answering questions to nosy friends, family, or strangers about marriage and children.  My best advice would to give a generic response such as, "We are still discussing the possibility."  Then immediately change the subject to where the curious party is the focus.  From my twenty years in the bartender role, I have learned that most people would rather discuss their lives than yours.  If the relentless interrogator continues to push the subject, put on your best "this subject brings up painful memories of being left at the altar, or I have had two miscarriages" face, and the offending questioneer will usually disengage the conversation.

  If these options don't appeal to you, do what a normal, non-manipulating person would do, and say it is none of your business.
