Thankfully this wasn't a concern when my husband and I met and married, but I had given it thought before I met him as I was starting to get a little older and the number of divorcees was getting larger in my age range.
I can't say that I wouldn't have married someone with children, but it would have been harder on the relationship. Becoming a step parent is touchy ground because you're not the child's mother, you're only the woman that married their father. I don't think I would've had a problem loving the child(ren) like my own, it would just take some adjusting to get used to the boundries of being a step parent and trying not to overstep them.
