Yes, I would still want to be married to my husband if we didn't have children.

You are correct in your thinking. Children do hold the marriage together sometimes- but I would hope not in my case. I would hope my husband would want to be in this marriage b/c he adores me. The children are just an added bonus.

My spouse and I don't have any kids together,they're all by our previous marriages. I would still be married to him with or without kids.


Extremely Evil
I got divorced when my daughter was 12 years old. My wife wanted us to stay together until my daughter was gone of to school.

In speaking with my daughter over the last few years she has told me that she was so happy when we split up. When I asked her why she told me that she hated the fighting, yelling, and swearing that went on. I was never physically abusive with my ex but we indeed had some arguements.

If the relationship is at all abusive or if there has been some infidelity I would say end it. Children or very observant and they know when there is a problem.

Another thing to remember is children do not want to feel the responsibilty that comes from hearing "we are staying together for the children" As the relationship deteriorates the children will do whatever it takes to keep the marriage together and if the marriage fails anyway the child will feel responsible.

Of course. We didn't get married in order to have kids, we got married because we loved each other and we wanted to share our lives with each other. That has never changed.

absolutely..kids are not the primary reason why you got married..if you think about how wonderful he/she is then not having children wouldnt matter that much..

Absolutely!! We truly do not want to bring children into this world as sick and twisted as it is. Children today have no respect for their parents nor elders. It does not take kids to make a marriage.

A BIG RESOUNDING NO!!!!!

MY FRIEND IS MARRIED AND DON'T HAVE CHILDREN. NOT ALL RELATIONSHIPS ARE BASED ON CHILDREN. YES THEY ARE A BUNDLE OF JOY BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE HAVE THEM. SO YES I WOULD STILL BE WITH MY HUSBAND WITHOUT CHILDREN BECAUSE I'M MARRIED TO HIM NOW AND HAVE 4 CHILDREN FROM A PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP AND WE ARE TOTALLY STILL HAPPY. WE CAN'T HAVE ANYMORE CHILDREN BUT HE OPENLY EXCEPTS MINE AS HIS OWN. SO LEAVING YOUR SPOUSE BECAUSE OF NO CHILDREN IS A HELL OF A WAY TO SAY I LOVE YOU. IF YOU WANT CHILDREN JUST TELL HER THAT YOU FEEL YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT CHILDREN AND SEE WHERE SHE GOES FROM THERE.

yes. as long as i am happy with him then there is no reason to get divorced. not everyone want kids. before considering marriage having kids need to be a topic. if you both don't agree then you need not get married and find someone who shares your same interest.

yes but I do love my husband more because of the father he is

We don't have kids - and yes, I still want to be with him.


Charlize101
Yes, definitely. Although the primary purpose of marriage is to build a 'family' by having kids, well, it's not usually the case. There are many childless couples out there who are still very much married and are looking on the brighter side of life. Not having kids should not be the end of everything for a married couple. We know that there are many reasons why couples are still childless, either there is something wrong with them phsiologically or they just happen to choose not to have one. But if the married couple 'tried' for many years to have a baby and still didn't have one,it's time for them to stop and just go on with life and focus their time and energy on other important things. But if it's in their heart to share their lives with somebody, they may opt for adoption. Married life can still be wonderful, meaningful and a life of blessing. It merely depends on how the couple reacts and cope with the situation.
