[Gordon-P]

I would find it a great thing because I also don’t have any great desire to have children. I know a lot of people (men and women) feel that having children is an important part of their lives, but I wonder how many really feel this way, and how many feel that way because they are “supposed to.”

I think choosing not to have children is wonderful. I just wish society was more tolerant of the choice. And I have it good. As a 30-plus male with no children or relationship, society just sees me as odd. Unfortunately, we still live in a society that, at a deeper level, feels that women are supposed to make babies, and those who don’t are somehow “wrong.”

All that said, I think finding a person with the same basic beliefs is very important. Children or not is right up there with religion and politics as something than can lead to much strife when two people take opposite sides. As someone else said, talk about it. Find out not just how each of you feels, but why.
