Family without kid?
I 43 and my husband 55 married 3 years and no kid. I was divorced and he never married.We basicly dont have anything in common but if each respects the other,we can still live happily.I am a musician and he never listen to any music for 3 years..... I really dont want kid nor adopt due to physical,mental and financial concerns and our concepts will be very different toward taking care of the kid. For example,I cannot throw away a moldy cutting board,no air con in 90 degree summer......However,he is taught by his family-elder sisters-that no kid means no hope . What should i do?

Yes, of course they CAN!
Ignore his family and their lies. Marriage is more than just kids. Marriage is a loving partnership. Many couples marry for love (we did).
Many married couples don't have kids either due to preference or financial or medical reasons. Your husband's family value that no kid is no hope is crap.
I am 44 and my husband is 57. We have been married 12 years. We never had kids, mainly due to my hormonal problem.

Children should not be a “compromise” or a “solution” to marital problems such as indifference or infidelity. People that I know that have had a baby “to keep their husbands” all lost their husbands and then had to raise a baby in a difficult environment. I know many couples that don’t have kids and are happy. Having a baby at 43 and 55 is tough… you’ll be 61 and 73 when the kids starts college… wow are you ready to take on college when you are starting retirement?!

Yes, of course. I am 18, don’t have kids or a husband and I am happy. Older people can be happy too. Kids cause a lot of stress, time and money.
