Are There Married Couples Who Dont Wanna Born A Child?

I mean when a woman and a man get married, do they have to born a child? I just wondered and opened this thread. What do you think about a marriage without a child. Why is it so important to make a child? Making a child means living less comfortable. If I was married, I would never want a child. Why not live more comfortable without a child?

 

Not everyobdy wants to born a child, obviously.

 

I'm 31 and my wife is 29. We opted to not have children because of health reasons. I believe the want for a child is biological and psychological. We have two small dogs and a cat, and that's enough for us.

 

There is no necessity to have children these days. It's pure selfishness if you ask me. "Procreation, is what our species and life is all about" is just silly to me. Thousand years ago, sure, that would make sense, but there's no good reason for having children in this day and age other than the reason that YOU wanted to have children, and that's why it is so selfish. There is no other reason, any other reason is a made up reason that ain't gone hold up to me. Your children grow up, suffering in today's world, because you wanted them. No wonder problem children point the blame at their parents with headlines like "I didn't ask to be born". It's so true. They weren't asked, that's on you and your selfishness and honestly, if they're that problematic, then you didn't think of the consequences to your selfishness.

Some folk believe that the folk who do not want kids are the selfish ones. Perhaps that may be true. I mean I have goals and dreams I want to accomish in my life and I don't see me ticking them off my list with a child in my possession. Nor am I the type to have a child so they can experience what I haven't. Nuts to that! I wanna do my own stuff.

 

My wife and I have been married for over 35 years and have no children, by choice. In spite of pressure from her very Catholic family early on, we jointly decided (before we married, actually) that neither of us felt like we'd be good parents, neither of us particularly liked children, and both of us had (or would have soon) full time professional careers. There was neither time nor desire for offspring in our lives. I've never regretted the decision. I've asked her if she ever has and she still satisfied with the choice we made way back then.

 

some married couples choose to have money and a life and motorcycles and vacations and early retirement and restaurant meals and cool sports cars and the latest fashions and the latest gadgets and mountain homes with glass walls and concert tickets and high end haircuts and pedicures and sleep


as opposed to kids

 

And they probably still fuck all the time.

 

it depends on every couple. many (most?) do, but not everyone wants the same things out of life. some people choose to focus on their education instead, for instance. its YOUR life though ... so i do think it should be about you.

the human race isnt going to go extinct because of this you know ... in fact we might actually be much better off if fewer people had children, and less of them.

 

I'd he happy to live in a mud hut so long as I have my family. We have a decent life but I'm not so much into material things that I'd pick them over my kids EVER.

I'm happy for couples that don't have kids as long as their happy. I already did the "I got cash in my pocket" thing. Been there done that. We didn't have our first child until I was 32. Got a lot out of my system and travelled. Now I just look forward to getting home to see my wife and kids and spend time with them.

I don't think either side can be called selfish. We chart our own paths, right? To each his own, whatever floats your boat.

 

I've been in a long term relationship with my bf and we have no plans to marry or have kids.

 

'bear a child. You're welcome.

 

some people cannot have children for whatever reason....as well.....I think this is a very sensitive topic for some.....

i also think that some people should have less children....when they cannot take care of the ones they have already.....but again.....these are usually the uneducated people that are in poverty and do not know what else to do for recreation...no pun intended.....

 

For the most part, that would be us (except for the high end haircut and pedicures.)

 

of course they do. haven't you ever been to a wedding? the couple exchanges vows, the groom kisses the bride, and the bride lies down and gives birth. then they go to the reception and get drunk.

 

Absolutely not. I'm hoping I find a man as staunchly childfree as I am so that we can live a life full of peace, travel and adventure.

 

at 23 I convinced myself i didnt want kids. New relationship several years later 28 - 31 my baby fever years. It was horrible. I thought of all the ways I could possibly get pregnant and boy am I glad I waited it out and didnt do anything stupid. 33 baby fever gone and I am ok now with no kids again. So just be prepared for things to change one way or another!
