If I didn’t have these two little touchstones who mimic so much of who and what my husband is, would it be easier to walk away from my marriage? I have to say yes. What does that say about me — that I’m only in this marriage for my kids? I have to say no. Regardless of how much I adore being married to my babies’ daddy, if he were just absolutely intolerable, i.e., a drug addicted narcissist, I would have to bail out of my marriage. But the truth is, having kids with someone, gives you a whole new perspective and reason to keep your marriage going and work through issues with more invested... and to those couples who work through their issues despite never creating joint pieces of themselves in their offspring, well, I am in awe of your commitment to the sanctity and preservation of your marriage, I just don’t know if I’d have the same drive to stay.

Had we not had kids over the course of our 14 year marriage there are many moments when, had it just been the two of us, I think it might have been over....while I would never stay in my marriage if I felt it was no longer a loving and supportive relationship

So I’ve always wondered how and what keeps couples who don’t have kids, married.

I think my marriage is stronger because we have no loaves. My husband is my best friend, and we love each other. We don't need loaves to keep us together. ITA with Cambion, who states that loaves can destroy an even great marriage. If you have to stay together because of them, it can make for a miserable famblee.

My question is how do marriages survive WITH kids? Marriages require intimacy, trust, respect, and affection. Kids dilute and/or interfere with all those.

I have often wondered how today's bizzy parunts find the time to talk about things which aren't directly related to brat-wrangling. Given that they like to helicopter around their children, I cannot imagine they have time for discussions of current events, literature, hobbies or any similar topics. All the discussion is just coordination. I would not be able to sustain a relationship without some intellectual interaction.

I call Asshole on this one. Proof positive breeders just want a miniature version of themselves to mold into themselves.
