Happiness without children is a contentious issue. Some believe that without a child a family will not be complete, while others are completely adherents of childfree.
Both those and others waiting for certain problems or positive points. It is all about attitude to life and circumstances that affect its style and image.
So let's look at how the traditional family model differs from a couple without children, and can you be happy?
A family without children: reasons and circumstances
Do not immediately blame the couple that they are supposedly "inferior." We can never know for sure what the reason for the absence of children in a married couple.
Various circumstances of life affect the absence of a child:
- For health
Maybe people have health problems and have a baby, they simply cannot physiologically. You will say “Take from the orphanage”, but the adoption system is quite complicated, and the process itself is a long one.
- Financial issue
Many cannot afford to have a baby because of a lack of money. And this is quite logical, as the couple wants to give the baby all the best, but perfectly understands that at the moment they simply will not pull the content of the third family member.
- Job orientation
This item is somewhat related to financial problems, but on the other hand. Future parents prefer to first get on their feet, buy suitable housing, a car. In this case, building a good career is a priority, since along with this, the likelihood of a better life for the child will increase.
- Unsuitable conditions
Almost everything can be included in this category, from unfavorable living conditions to permanent business trips.
- Psychologically problems
If in childhood a person had a difficult relationship with his own parents, then he should not rush to have children. This is due to the fear of repeating the mistakes of parents. It takes time to overcome them.
- Time for each other
An increasing number of people strive to first live not so much for themselves as for their partner. Strengthening relationships, they strengthen the foundation of the family in which the baby should then appear.
- Conscious abandonment of children
Yes, yes, these are exactly the same childfree. Well, you need to spit. Everyone has the right to decide what and whom to devote his life to. Conscious unwillingness to have children is a personal choice of these people, leave them alone.
Pros and cons of family life without children
Can a happy family with no children be happy? A moot point. Some will say confidently, “No,” others will firmly answer, “Yes.”
In fact, we cannot decide whether a couple is happy without children or not. We do not live their lives and do not know the circumstances. This is somewhat similar to the situation when there are children in the family, and they are not happy.
Why is this happening?
Because we can never guess what is going on behind closed doors. And climb into someone else's life, as if in the dark, is not worth it.
Nevertheless, family life without children has its pros and cons:
- Pros: more free time; more attention is paid to the spouse; frequent travel and trips are possible; less cost; self-development and the opportunity for self-realization; the absence of many restrictions for both the spouse and the spouse; less hassle when divorcing.
- Minuses: regular questions about children; a feeling of lack of something important in life; and, in fact, the very absence of children.
In any case, it’s not for us to judge without knowing anything about other people. And everyone has the right to decide for himself what is more important for him in this life.
Do you agree with my opinion?
