On your overall view of your marriage have you concluded that a marriage is better by having kids or not having kids?
Whats your opinion and view on this topic?
Is a childfree marriage better or a child marriage?
I'm sorry but this is a really, really stupid question. You don't have children to make a marriage better and you don't not have children to make a marriage better. You either want children or you don't. A child free marriage is better for a couple that doesn't want children and a marriage with children is better for a couple that wants children.

Agreed with this, a silly questions. It boils down to if someone wants kids or not. There's no definite answer. It will vary depending.
For me personally, a child-free marriage is great, as I don't care for children or the 22+ years of responsibilty of any. lol
Most people discuss children and all long before marriage and within the context of a normal well adjusted relationship children aren't used as pawns to make a marriage better.
I'd venture to say that the early days of child rearing can stress a marriage, if anything........

I prefer to have children without the marriage. Preferably with different women to keep it interesting and exciting.
This is what happens on CD-R. The same stuff gets posted and debated over and over again.
Unfortunately most of us are here mainly out of boredom, so we keep stupid threads going for a long long time.
This thread is newer so it only has sensible comments thus far. Sometime around the fifth or sixth page--maybe tomorrow because people will be back at work and not wanting to do anything because it is Monday--the arguments will begin with the usual guys posting data about how a woman is "all dried up" after 30 and the usual woman trying to counter their arguments.
I have always heard the "only stupid question is the one unasked." and I really do not care for the word "stupid" in reference to what a person posts/thinks/says.
With that said, I think that before two people get seriously involved with one another, that is a very important subject to discuss. One person may really have a desire to have children and the other not want any. Unless one of them changes their mind then it is probably a good idea to find someone else who feels the same way about having kids.
(And I am on here because I have the desire to try and help people--not because I am bored.)

That's fine that you think it's not a stupid question. I think it is. If one of my friends asked me this, I'd tell them to put their head back on straight. We are talking about CHILDREN - not a gold fish. A strong marriage is not based on whether or not you have children.
