How often do you hear people say they're divorcing because they're "just not happy any more" or they're "grown apart", or "fell out of love"? Do you give it a second thought when someone gives one of those reasons why they're divorcing?
Well I personally think those reasons are pure bullshite. Marriage isn't supposed to be easy 24/7. There are obviously gonna be times where you don't feel "in love" with your spouse and that doesn't automatically mean "Oh this must mean we need to divorce".

Yeah I don't have any of that and I can barely afford to live.

Really? People make it through just fine without the biggest house, the newest TV and gadgets, the best shiny private school, etc. Sometimes it's hard, but they make it work.

This would be a better would if more people thought about marriage like you do. Like my wife tells me. "loving someone is a willful act".

I grew up the oldest of 4 and pretty poor.
I def noticed a HUGE difference in how we lived when it was just my brother and I and then when my little brother and sister came along(my sister wasn't planned btw).
It's one of the reasons why I don't want a bunch of kids. I want to be able to afford to give my child the things I didn't get to experience as a child and not struggle to give them the things they need.

Yup. Love is not something you feel, it's something you do - and something you choose to do.

I'm sure I'm not the first to tell you this but the first time you hold your newborn in your arms and it hits you that you're this little baby's father, everything else you've done up to that point in your life will seem small and insignificant in comparison. You'll feel love on a level that I can't describe unless you've already experienced it. Of all the wonders this life can give us, being a parent has no equal.

This can also be true. My dad grew up in a small house with 4 siblings and not a lot of money, but they all became pretty successful later in life. But no one has more than 2 kids, if any.

Exactly
Wow, your wives must feel so lucky to have you two.

I think that's one of the reason fewer people are getting married and few people are staying married. They think that love is just something that happens. They spend their life waiting on it to happen never realizing they've got to make it happen. It's really sad.

Another thing my wife tells me (usually right after she tells me the other I just mentioned)....
"Some days, I really do have to choose to love you"

You are doing something wrong then. Either spending habits or career path, something has to change

Would you not have different qualities you are looking for in a women if you wanted kids v not having kids?

what? Hell no!!! My wife is awesome. Thats what makes me love her. Thats why I married her. Was I supposed to select her on her child-bearing hips? I didn't pick a wife as I would a brood mare of sow. I married her because she was what I wanted in a wife, partner, and companion. What did you base your decision on? What other citeria would you have used if not having kids?

Mine seems to enjoy it, she just texted me some pictures from the park with the kids enjoying the great weather.

I have 0 desire for the stress and concern that comes with having kids.
I don't like budgets. Kids make you maintain a budget.
I'm anti-budget. Therefore I'm anti kids.
