Married couple without a child, are they really happy?

In my mean.The child is the crystallization of the feelings,also need to two people at the same time to maintain. Have to maintain and enhance help felling.

well, obviously a child is a big plus in a marriage couple. It is the way a couple could become a true family. About the question of not having a child in a marriage is really is something sad. But I know, God has a plan for everything, even if you don't have a child, I think a couple could still be happy and lived until they age. I see many couples out there, in which they are already old and they don't have a baby but still their as sweet and as in love just like their younger years.

Well, only the couple knows for real, if they can be truly happy without children. I know of people who don't plan on having a child from the start, and are actually averse to the idea, so they must be OK with that. I do wonder what or how they'd react if they conceive a child "by accident," though.

Yes I think a marriage could work even without a child. The way I see it people get married because they love each other. Yes their dreams may be the same, but why split because something falls through? If people love each other enough they can with stand anything. Love doesn't go away because of disappointment. Who is to say they could have a child if they got with someone else? Maybe the issue is on both sides where conception goes. The goal is to work through things. Arguing is normal when you are upset over something, but if you really love someone you work through all of that. Everyone has issues but if you just quit trying to work through things of course it's going to fall apart. I imagine thinking you can't have a kid would be a huge blow if you wanted a child but people survive worse and get through. The question is how do they love each other? Is it worth it to work through it? Does not being able to have a child change your love for one another? If someone is truly in love with someone else I don't see how not having a child can truly change that love. I mean yeah it's a let down and yeah you may take out your frustration on the other person, but it shouldn't change what has been there all along sometimes you just have to look deeper to find it but it should still be there. Maybe I'm wrong but it's just a theory.

As long as that couple reserves a time slot in their life to care for others which would have gone to their child if there was one, their life could be quite fulfilling.

I think it depends on what someone wants. Just because your married does not mean you have to have a child. For my husband and I we wanted children when we got married but some people truly don't want kids... It is personal choice. But for the people that do want children and are having trouble having them I am sure it makes a marriage difficult. But it can be done. Just because you were having a hard time having a kid does not mean your marriage should end. My husband and I had miscarriages and we still stayed together and we were homeless together and still made it! So, you having trouble with getting pregnant is not enough reason to separate!

having a child should not be the only reason couple should be together. my only hope is that each couple, the love they have for each other is more than enough to get them thru thick and thin.. after all , you got married because you love each other, having children is a bonus...

I believe that it is perfectly possible for a married couple to be happy if they don't have children. Now myself, I knew from the time that I was a very young girl that I wanted to be a mother when I grew up and for that reason, I don't think that I would be happy with my marriage if it wasn't for my two wonderful children. That said, I also see that there are a lot of my friends that I went to high school with who have been married for years and they don't have children and yet it seems to me like they are perfectly happy couples.

A marriage begins with two people in love. They find a happiness to bein a future together with. A child along the way is a blessing to their union. It is not necessarily a an essential ingredient to their happiness together. I believe that if a married couple truly love each other they can be happy even if there is no child added to their family.

Hello there! I guess this question is really for me, huh! Well, I'd love to share mine. We're married 2007 also, but unfortunately we still don't have a child. It was really difficult because I really want to have one, we both want it. Yes there were many ups and downs in our marriage, we had a lot of problems too. But I am so blessed that none of those things made us even think to separate or divorce (we don't have it in my country) or just leave each other and go our separate ways. I am not losing hope, but the idea that we won't be able to have a child is still there. I'm happy that our relationship has not changed despite all these challenges. We are a happy couple despite not having a child. And we will be much happier when the baby comes. I think that's probably because my husband is a very God fearing man. We have God in our lives that makes us strong and able to win all these challenges in our lives. We are praying to God to grant us a child, or if it's not His will, we would be happy for it. We don't know what the future has for me and my husband, but we know that we can make it through as long as we understand and support each other. So to answer your question, yes we are happy. And if we will be granted a child, we would be happiest!

Your story is very inspiring and touchy as well. I have heard from several people that in order for a marriage to be complete there must be children in it. Adoption is an option, but it is not the same at first, but as time passes by I am sure that eventually the couple will see things differently. When it comes to having kids, men are weak if they can't have one. I also love children and I am thinking that in 3 years time I will b looking forward to having one. :)

I think you can be happy even though you haven't a child. You can have legal adoption if you want a baby. You still have your husband that you love. Your marriage will work don't give up and be happy on what you have. Pray for everything too. Just a suggestion.

it depends on the couple.. some really relies on having a children to stay together.. that is the reason for them that is why they get married is to have a children of their own.. and some couples is contented to have not children just the two of them because of the love they feel for each otger.. maybe they just think of other ways to have children which is adopting.. for me to have a child is very important for a married couple whether it is adopted or not the couples will decide..

some couples do.Some of them are just in love with each other too much, they're even jealous of their kids for love sharing!that's why they don't want babies.Nothing is impossible, I always believe in this saying!

i think you can be happy without a child. my hubby and i have older kids and we are happier now that they are almost grown because we have the freedom to just be a couple again. we adore our kids but its nice just to have couple time alone.

The definition of happiness is different to different people. To common person, owning a family is a kind of happiness, but to those not everyone, they may have another definition of happy marriage. Here many couple choose not to have kids in the family, for breeding a kid will cause financial problems, but they are still close and happy.

I have seen couples a married couple to be exact, who waited for years to have a baby.It's true that most of the time people will expect a baby after a couple got married and it's quite a very stressful scenario for the girl because people will expect her to get pregnant and that many of us doesn't even know the hardship a married girl is going through with that situation.A marriage can work if both partners understand each other.I think if the couple tried many times to have a baby and the result is negative., they can ask for medical opinions on how they can work on having a baby.Sometimes stress, work, petty problems may take added pressure on not having a child and consulting a medical professional can help.That way, the couple will know the reasons for not having a baby and that they can take proper measures in order to start having a baby.Some couples turn to adoption if they knew that they can never have a child of their own.This method needs proper understanding and counseling of both parties.Some couples are successful in adopting their first child while others still are in doubt.it's not a bad choice if you want to adopt it will make your married life a lot colorful and memorable too.

heleighna I thik many have the expectation of children as part of marriage..Also many are not aware they can't have children and depending on the level of desire for children I can understnd how this could have an effect on the marriage... I would think adopting children would be a good alternative, but not everyone agrees. It's sad since there are so many children who need loving homes..but I am not one to judge since I was never in those shoes...

seperate couple cause of not having a baby just an excuse for some couple, well who to blame in this matter? none! because both are not wrong, child is God gift, He will give to us if He wanted to. i have a sister which married for 5 years and have no child but I can see they both are happy so for me marriage can be good even you have no child if you know how to handle this situation

You can be happily married and fully satisfied without having children, but only if it's ok for both of you to not have any. If you always wanted one, big happy family and house full of kids then you won't be satisfied just by having a husband alone. And you will always feel guilty if it's your husband that wanted kids and you don't. You should both share the same view on having a baby. This is actually pretty serious matter and an obstacle that is very hard to overcome.
