Is husband and wife relationship complete without having baby?

if it isn't complete without a baby, then it's probably not the right relationship to bring a baby into. a couple should be complete, just the two of them. then if they choose to have a baby, they have the solid and stable relationship to be able to do that. if they don't choose to have a baby, or aren't able to, they are still happy just the two of them. my partner and I don't feel that there's something missing in our relationship for not breeding. I don't want to, and we're happy just the two of us.

Having a baby is not the only thing that completes a relationship. I would rather think that a couple with love, mutual understanding and commitment for each other is the basis of a relationship to be complete. I rather not want a husband that would hurt me emotionally just like your friend's husband. He will just lower my self esteem. And I don't want that.

It can be. It all depends on the person. I work wtih a couple of women who are child-free and one is married and one is not. The married couple is very happy without having children. They have pets and don't have kids and for them, I'm sure, their life is complete. For my other co-worker, she has been dating a man now for about 9 years and have no plans to marry or have children. She has gotten her tubes tied some time ago to never have to worry about a pregnancy. Could all marraiges be happy without children? No. But on the flip side, all marraiges wouldn't be happy *with* children. As long as the two people who are married are happy with their decision, it's no one else's turn to tell who or what makes up a happy family. Some of the happiest people I know live alone and have no family close by.

A child does not make a marriage complete. The marriage should be complete before there is a child. If it is not, then having a child would probably hurt the marriage even more. Children are a blessing, but having them definitely puts a strain on a couple...even when the couple is ready to expand their family. If your friend can't have children (that's what it sounds like to me), then her husband is being totally selfish and hurtful. There is absolutely nothing wrong with adoption. (I, myself, was adopted. My mother couldn't have children.) I understand wanting to have biological children. But if one can't and still wants them, then there are many many many children out there who need loving families. My advice to your friend would be to leave such a selfish and hurtful husband. He should never put her down for something that makes her who she is. In a complete relationship, both partners accept the other no matter what.

I been married for 7 years and we dont have kids. It never an issue to me and to my ex husband about us not having a baby. I said it so many times that my happiness or anybody happiness depend to somebody. And being complete does not coming from someone but to yourself. sorry but this will hurt you, i think your husband dont love you as much as you love him because if he do, he will accept you completely and also your shortcomings

he obviously has NO respect for her. Im sure theres many more issues in that marriage then just the fact she cannot have a child. And no real man should EVER put down a woman that cannot have a child. your friend should evaluate her situation and think about whether she wants to spend the rest of her life with that man.

In this case I think that the husband really wants a child and is blaming the wife for not being able to have one. My Hubby and I don't have kids and we a very good marriage. I can't have children and he knew that when we first met. I would have loved having one but it just wasn't in the cards. I've learned to accept it and moved on. It sounds like the husband your talking about either has to learn to accept that their not having kids and quit blaming her or find a new wife that can give him the kids he wants.

I can emphatize how your friend feels. It took me four years before our baby came. It was a mental torture on my part everytime somebody ask me how many children do ihave or why I don't have babies yet. It came to a point when I surendered myself to God and accepted that I will not have babies anymore. But God provided me. My husband and I were given a child at the right time.

Is your friend not capable of having offspring? If so, there is medical help for this. If she already have consulted medication and still unable to bear children then the couple needs a therapist to solve their marriage. Not being able to have children in marriage is absolutely not a reason for not having a good marriage. Your friend needs all the support she can get so as not to have this negative thoughts. Recommend her to talk to her church and a good therapist with her husband. Sometimes the light has to come from above or through others.

I think its completely normal and fine to be in a married relationship with or without having a baby, as it means you are committed to one another with whatever happens, yeah a baby is nice, and making a family of your own is another important thing to do in life, but i don't think it needs rushing, couples should consider having a baby when they are BOTH ready and comfortable with it, without forcing one another.

The relation could be still complete... Provided, the husband considers her wife to be his baby and the wife considers her husband to be her baby. It all lies in the perception of individuals. Yea... people say that having a kid makes the relation or life complete... But to me... nothing is complete in this world. Even having a baby is like a semicolon. I would suggest them to be happy and enjoy their life. If they are desperate to have kid, then they can always adopt one.

But why does it seem like she's hell-bent on not having a child? Is it that she can't have one? I can't blame the husband for wanting a child, it's what everyone will eventually want (it's what i know of so far) but still think he shouldn't be that way to the wife just cz she refuses to have a child. If he had truly love her for her, he'd understand that when the time comes, they both will have a baby when both of them are ready. And why hadn't they discussed this issue first before they had gotten married? The story seems unfinished so i can't really express myself...haha..

hello i just want to know if your friend went to a doctor to seek an opinion why they cant have baby? may be there is good advice from a doctor ,well having a baby in a relation of husband and wife is a big factor because it make the family complete. tell your friend and her husband to seek advice from proffessional.

My opinion, baby or child is a gift from God. The problem is, either we got it soon or later, we don't know. My suggestion for that couple, or any couple, just be patient, and pray to God so that He will give His gift to us. They also can find a lot of way to have a baby..there is a lot of way...just try and try besides pray to Him. God loves people who always patient and think of Him.Must sincere and honest in heart.

Well I think that her husband dosen;t really love her, it is not her fault if they cannot have a child. I will not tolerate such behaviour from my husband, I feel that marriage and women aren't made to make babies only. There are a lot of things that they can do by tring to adopt a child or with fertiilty treatments. however I feel that there is no love from the husband.

nooop. though i like children but i won't born one by ourselves i think . we will treat my newphews and nieces as our own son and daughter. i think i can't reponsible enough to born and feed a child by myself. as for your friend's story. think the husband attached too much importance on this issue. marriage is not only for children. also can for love.

Aren't these the kinds of things that should be talked over BEFORE getting married? I honestly worry whether or not the couple are communicating properly. I can see how there can be a lot of conflict if one person wants children but the other doesn't, but I think that a couple should be complete in itself. I know far too many people who have children in the hopes that it'll improve upon or save a miserable relationship, only to have things spiral downhill afterward.

Apparently, that man has no total respect for his wife. So what his wife couldn't bear a child, is that a problem? I don't think so. Marriage can be complete without having an own kid. There are many couples out there who are not blessed with child but still they're happy. What matters most is both couples must be there for each other with or without offspring.

I think Husband and Wife alone is a complete relationship. And a baby is very special blessing given to husband and wife. I think if you really love each other, you will support one another in any difficulties you will encounter.

I don't think that without baby the relation between wife & husband is incomplete.I have seen 5-6 couples who don't have babies & then also they are happy together.I my opinion without baby the relation in not incomplete but baby makes the relation for wife & husband more stronger then before they had.
