In any case, spouses and kids can derail your dreams. However, if you focus on establishing your career first, THEN get married and have some kids you'll be just fine. Talk to some airline pilots, they'll tell you all about bidding lines, being on reserve, seniority, crashpads, and all of the other relationship killers you'll have to endure at the beginning of your career. From what I've been reading, your quality of life will improve dramatically the more senior you are. Then maybe you can plan for a family.
