What will you do if you are married for twelve years without a child

I think it would depend on the situation, if the fact that we didn't have children was because he didn't want any although I did, then that would be a problem. But if the decision was mutual, or there was a medical reason why we couldn't conceive, then I would not leave. If your cousin doesn't have a problem with it, then that is all that matters, his family isn't married to her, he is, and if he is happy then they should be happy.

Hey, Well I wouldn't really see an issue in this, but if they are looking to have a baby, then it would be about time, because it is hard to raise a family if you are old. I personally think that I wouldn't wait 12 years. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I had a friend who put off having children for a while so they could enjoy their married life. When no babies came after 5 years, they decided to adopt a baby. I have 3 boys and I have no need to worry.

Wow! In my culture it would be outrageous for a family to pressure someone to divorce their spouse because she didn't have a child! I know many married couples that don't want to have kids ever. And if a couple does want a child, but they can't get pregnant they often turn to fertility treatments or to adoption. Divorce isn't really ever considered!

Well I think it depends on their mutual desire for a baby. You needed to supply more info. However, if the wife had said they would eventually have a baby and now she doesn't that is a problem. If your cousin is ok with not having a child then why is the family getting involved. Now if either person has a medical problem than they should stick it out if they truly love each other they will. They could also adopt if worse came to worse. I believe from the tone of your discussion there is more too this than what is mentioned.

I would tell them to mind their own business and if fate/God? your belief wanted us to have kids or not it would have happened.; Though I would have adopted a child by that point personally.

the family shouldn't put pressure on him its none of their business, if he wants to be married to this woman thats his business

I think if he is happy with his wife and the relationship is loving and good he should tell the family to mind their own business.

I do not understand why family members would want someone who sounds like they are in a good steady marriage to get a divorce. Not everyone wants to have kids and some people just can not have them. However if the problem is that your cousin wants kids and his wife does not, I would understand why your family would want him to get a divorce. So, to answer you're "what would you do?" question, If I were happily married to someone and I did not have any problems with the marriage, I would not get divorced. Sometimes extended family members feel that they should have a say in everything you do, when in reality they do not.
