Do you think childless couples (by choice) can be just as happy as couples with children?

Yes. A married couple with one child is generally more happy than a married couple with 2 or more. Same applies to a married couple that has yet to have (nor wants) children. You can be happy married no matter what the given circumstances. It's all very relevant to a person's set up and personality. A good couple is happy regardless of children or not.





I also don't respect people who get married because they had a kid, it seems distasteful and not true. The same applies to couples who believe having more children will make them happy.


A couple needs time to focus on themselves and figure out what they want in life with or without children. Happiness is in reach of all couples as long as they are married for the right reasons.





Wrong reasons to be married:


Financial stability


living arrangement


staying together for the kids





Basically, a lot of people are in denial about their own marriages but it's obvious you can be a happy couple without the typical married standard i.e a suburban home, 2 kids, 2 cars, a notable career.

Statistically they are happier. Couples that have children go through a series of years that are filled with stress and the relationship suffers due to the responsibility and attention being shifted off of the actual couple and onto the children. Then when the children leave home if the relationship stands the test of time the relationship at this time becomes better. Couples who do not have children are normally happier due to the fact that they can place all emphasis and concentration on their mate exclusively.
Children are a special gift ... but they are not for everyone ...


If they are not for you , you will be MUCH happier without them .


And no child should to be stuck with parents who would have chosen not to have them . Couples (childless by choice) are very happy concentrating on each other and sharing love and life together .
Yes, perhaps even happier in their relationship with each other since they have the time, energy, and resources to devote themselves more exclusively to the other.





Add: to rasputin your relationship or your spouse can be what you see as having greater and more important then yourself individually
Oh yes. In fact, couples who have children to improve their marriage usually wind up doing the opposite.
Though kids are amazing, but if the Lord has Blessed them other wise. Well there is a purpose for that. But yes they can just as happy as a couple with children.
I suppose they can, but I always wonder. For me, I want something greater and more important than myself.
yeah they can be just as happy because if they make it by choice then they wont feel like there missing anything.
Of course, if it's by choice, then they obviously have what they want that makes them happy.
Statistically they are happier.
Of course! They'll also be wealthier, because kids are expensive.
just an opinion but without kids you are a couple, with kids you are a family
