I don't understand this logic. Kids are the only reason to get married, in my mind. If there's no intention of having gets, skip the marriage part and just live together/enjoy each others company. Why go through all those legal entanglements if it's not absolutely necessary?
What's the likely of finding a man that would want a childfree marriage?
Though I don't have to worry about my ''biological clock'' that will never tick and can take my time, I still want to get proposed one day. Just being a forever gf is like saying ''I like you and we can hang out, but I just don't want to be with you forever''.
The problem is that either some men don't want marriage nor kids or if they are marriage-minded, it has to include kids. I just want marriage but just no kids (I'm 25 now but have been feeling like that about no kids since age 13/14).
Given the number of child-free married couples I know, I'd say you have nothing to worry about--unless you're in a big rush to get married.
My advice, however, is to take "I don't want kids" from a man with a grain of skepticism unless he's at least pushing 40 or is willing to show you the bill for his vasectomy. My ex said he didn't want kids, we married when he was 27, and by 30 he had changed his mind. If a man definitely knows he never wants kids, he should take charge of his own reproductive health and get snipped.
If a man wants a child free marriage he should opt for same sex marriage...I am sure another man will service him just as well as a female....I just thought I would get a liberal progressive dig in there............In all seriousness..........why get married if you do not want kids?
Not to offend those that are "most men"...but if you have not figured out what sex is originally for you might not be much of a male. Why go through the religious and governmental controls that are marriage if you are not going to breed? Also...imagine how simple divorce would be if you were not married? "Sorry dear...this is not working out...good bye"...........end of episode one.....on to the next...but then again if you are a young man what woman who is young wants a guy who will not commit to having a family?
I knew one couple...my wives aunt got married. She had her self sterilized just before the wedding...and the groom was not allowed to kiss her on the lips because she did not like the idea of germs....couples who do not want kids just seem a little creepy to me....I can see it if you are old...wanting companionship ...but when you are young...it is your duty to reproduce...There is not one person with children that I have met who has said - They never wanted kids...
Usually if someone does not want kids it is because they had a miserable childhood...or there are those who say "I don't want to bring a new life into this horrible world" _ You can't give up hope and not have kids.......life goes on.
