Just the wife and I , 15 years and going strong . We have no children and made the decision some years ago not to have any . We like our lives this way , but we are always pressured into having them and are told we are wrong in not having children .
I have a friend who thinks everyone should be married, and have children. I find it strange since he always complains about his wife. I say if it makes you happy, you are not harming anyone by not having children, then what is the big deal? It beats having them for the wrong reasons.

I was once asked by a friend whom I thought was very intelligent , that if we didn't want kids then why did we get married . I was surprised , I told him that we loved one another , why else would couples get married !?
I know couples who have gotten married because of a child and some who stayed married because of children and were miserable . I know this is not true of all marriages , but the wife and I do as we please , when we please , how we please , we play around and act silly , we are best friends and bottom line , we are happy the way we are . We are the center of each others world . I know it sounds selfish but I would hate to have a child and everything change .

My argument exactly in favor of gay marriage!
Why shouldn't they be allowed to marry and be miserable like the heteros??
