[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the feeling a lot of the women here have done this, simply to attain the goal of having children. It's sad. It's. It what marriage should be. Call me crazy, but I think you should adore and be crazy about your spouse. Children should come as an offshoot of that crazy love. The spouse shouldn't simply be a means to an end. [/quote]

See, here is the thing, it is not sad!

The IDEAL is to have a marriage born out of mutual true love and passion. The couple is made up of soulmates. 
HOW many marriages is this really true for? Probably not very many.

The normal is marriage between two decent people who thought it was time and hence married and started the next chapter of their life.

The ones who remain single waiting for their ~soulmate~ aren't really heralded either. We make fun of spinsters or over the hill bachelors and pity them and gossip about them.

It is far far better to date and marry someone you like than wait and remain without a family waiting for an ideal. [/quote]

This post makes me so happy to have decided to have kids on my own in my 30s. I can't imagine living with a roommate for the rest of my life. I'd rather be alone, but that's just me.

Both of my life long best friends settled. One is counting the days until her youngest leaves the house so she can get a divorce. The other is slowly sucking the soul out of her husband. It is very sad to watch. [/quote]
