Hello.

This is a question from the book What Do you Think. The question is "Would you have any children if you were in a second or third marriage?" If the woman is already married and is not going to divorce how should she refer to her marriage? Can I use "first" or "current"?
"She plans to have more children in her first/current marriage."
 
Your question is unclear. Was the woman married before?
 
Stop after 'children'. If you add the words I have underlined, you appear to suggest that she plans more marriages.

Can I also use "plan on" in my sentence? "She plans on having more children."
 
This is a question from the book "What Do you Think?" ... by whom?
Your thread title didn't need quotation marks but the book title did (or italics)

This is the book I am using.
I couldn't put the book title in italics.

If you can't use italics for some reason, put book titles in quotation marks. You certainly needed the question mark! It's the biggest thing on the cover and, of course, "What do you think?" needs a question mark whether it's a straight question or a book title.
