I think communication is really important in a situation like this. You really have to listen to their reasoning and try to understand and support them. Find out if that is not a goal of theirs at all or just not right now. What about parenting is scary or undesirable to them? It is a lot of responsibility and commitment that both of you need to be on board with to avoid one of you feeling trapped or cheated or stuck in something they aren't sure is for them. Perhaps they have fears of not being able to parent well and this could open up some really great dialogue about the subject.
