[quote=Anonymous]Are childless couples happier, maybe in some ways, but I don’t think you can underestimate the true happiness and fulfillment that comes from having children (assuming you wanted them).

My mom’s sister is married but she and my uncle never wanted children. They live a good life and have traveled the world, but she had confided in me that she always get like something was missing. She and my uncle are extremely introverted and wanted a “quiet” life, but she said there have been many times where she felt lonely and like she really missed out on something that would have been amazing.

I am in my early 40s and just have one friend who is married without kids by choice. She has also told me that she loves it now, but often wonders how she and her husband will fill the rest of their lives without something “more”. Even though she has a big circle of friends everyone has families of their own so it’s not like they have people to get together with all the time. She also says she and her husband bicker a lot since it’s just the two of them all the time.[/quote]
