It makes no sense to me at all! I'm childfree, my lover is childfree. There will be no babies coming out of body! I'm not a housing unit! My lover is getting a vesectomy and I'm considering getting my tubes tied as well. I think there are plenty of reasons to get married or have a commited relationship, but I don't understand that statement about children!
Not only do I think that pregnancy is awful, but I can't even stand children! And the way that women get after having babies! It's pathetic. How do husbands stand their wives when they're pregnant/new mothers? I really think that people only have children after giving up on their own lives to hope their kids can do better.
Do people who say "children complete a marriage" mean to say "marriage is the end of all freedom and children sure complete that feeling of being tied down"? But it comes off as if they think this is a positive thing. I don't understand and probably because I want to live my life, eh?

People who believe (say) “children complete a marriage” are whacked. (and most definitely should NOT have kids!!) Marriage is about 2 people, not the fact they can reproduce. (love is what 2 people share. Plain ol’ sex causes reproduction no love required) If they want to have kids fine,, if not,, also fine and dandy. But laying the responsibility on a child as the “completer” of a marriage is just ignorant! So what happens if the marriage doesn’t work out?? Is it the child’s fault???
Don’t waste your time trying to figure out asine witticisms !!!

I think they say that children complete a marriage because once you have met, dated, been engaged, gotten married and had sex, now the only thing left to do is reproduce yourselves, and once you do that you have completed everything---as for the kids completing the marriage, that only concerns married people having kids--i heard someone tell me that 25% of all babies born today are born to unmarreid people---maybe it is just completing the relationship instead of the marriage-----who knows, i dont have kids yet and i dont plan on having them for at least 10 more years! And if i am too old by then, (31) i will adopt---and as for men who think their wives are nasty when they are pregnant, they made their wives that way, and a lot of men i know are turned on by their wives pregnant body---the ladies get more curves and bigger boobs (what man would not like that), and just think, the men/husbands/fiance's made their women like this, so they have no right to *****!

Kids bring happiness to some people, but to others they don't. It's sad to find yourself in parent
position irritated, bored, responsible but not happy. It makes me think I did the wrong choice.
DEAR CHILDFREE PEOPLE, stay this way in your life. Don't let other people fool you around on child matter. Lots of them have bad experience of parenting. They don't wish you well but getting in trouble. It is not mandatory to have a child to fulfill you life. All people are different , some are created this way. Keep to you nature! It's OK to be childfree.

My opinion is that children may complete a family,but I never knew a marriage was complete. I fell you have to try to make a marriage work every day of your life. Sure as you take it for granted it'll be gone. And I also believe children are a blessing. A very wonderful blessing.

My dear, you are preaching to the choir! HOWEVER, the "breeders" get great joy out of having children and we should not slander their lifestyle choice. Just as we do not want them to slander OUR choices.
With all choices come the good and bad. I have been told there is great personal fulfillment in the raising of a child into a worthwhile human adult. And they are allowed to have that "happiness" should they wish it. Just as we choose not to.

Heck if I know, I have two and all I can say is that before children I had alot more freedom to spend with my husband, and with them we have no time... but I wouldn't trade them for anything because with them I get to see a side of my husband I have never before gotten to see, a soft, wonderful side of him.

Oh, I so agree! I can't stand kids and it makes me sick when people ask if my husband and I are trying.
