Have you ever been married or have kids?

Make sure you want the same things in life as your significant other and don't get involved with someone on a different path.
I know people who thought they could change the other person's mind about the kid issue and they ended up in divorce court.

No. What's the point other than a small tax break?

Married 15 years and no kids. Never wanted them, never will. Neither of us regret it. My wife is more career focused then most though. That's actually more of an issue than anything else.

My wife works with a woman that's like yours.
She ended up adopting a couple of girls years ago. They're in high school now. She's in her 50's, and works part time with them, part time at the track.

I know a couple couples that been married over 35 years with out kids. No problem.
Then again, I know one couple that wanted kids, but couldn't. Then after years of treatments, giving up and they were in there late 40's, BAM, had quadruplets.

Damn, that sucks. I was told it would be 10 years before I regretted not having kids. When that didn't happen, I was told it would be 20 years. Now you're telling me it's going to be 30 years? Do I ever have anything to look forward to if I don't have kids?

Your choice. To hell with society

I worked with a guy that said he never wanted kids. No desire to ever be a father. That was 2 years ago and he has a baby now. Im sure his outlook on life changed.

Dude , you're in your early 20's, what guy wants a wife/kids in their 20s....You'll reevaluate in your 30s.

you can always wait until she is too old to want to go through it.

Yep some people are straight up rude and prying when it comes to asking about kids. Unfortunately some young couples never stop to really think hard about whether BOTH of them actually want kids. I say young but one of my friends who is nearly 40 is about to have a kid. He acts happy about it but I can tell it was his wife's pressuring and he eventually went along. They will probably divorce over it eventually.

I've had the same thought process about kids sometimes...my wife and I are in our mid to late 20s and really enjoying our freedom of being able to whatever we want without someone else to worry about.
This might be another selfish way to look at it, but I look at my grandparents and how much my parents do to help them now that they are older.
Having kids to help take care of me when I get old is almost reason enough in itself to make me want to have them.

Boys change their mind too. It's called growing up.

I did not want kids until I turned 30. Marriage without kids is definitely appealing on some level. All the life stability without the cost of kids. That said, my kids are the best thing that ever happened to me.

Been married 15 years and we have no desire to have any kids. The family still ask us when we are going to have some acting like we haven't been telling them for 15 years that its never going to happen.
The most important thing about marriage is to do what you want as a couple, don't let family or friends influence your decisions. If you are happy with your decisions as a couple then nothing will keep you from being happy.

We have been married for almost 3 years. She has known from the beginning that I do not want kids. She is holding strong thus far, I can only hope nothing changes
