1. no Children for us and married 15 years, happy as heck

Edited on Wed Jul-26-06 05:26 PM by Protagoras

and most of our friends have been married 10+ years and almost no children. All seem fine.

Also know plenty of people who do have children and while many are happy too...some aren't and it's much easier now for me to change my mind than it is for them to change theirs
