Married childless couples

Do you think married couples without kids can be happy and have a fulfilling life?

I am on the fence about having kids and I dunno if I want them. I love kids but unsure I want to make a lifetime commitment of someone really depending on me. I think it scares me because of the environment I grew up in and because of the mental illness that has ran in my family. I dunno and because of younger ppl than me that I see now days. I also struggle with depression on and off and although I am a high functioning adult with depression I wouldn’t want my kids to go through that I would be way to worried. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The rewards of having kids pays off later. It's something that I didn't understand when I was younger. I had one and often wish I had had more.

@Spoiledbrat what is one of the greatest rewards now that you have a kid?
@JaneCas Someone to take care of you when you're old. Companionship and grand kids. It gets boring as we age and kids fill in the spaces.
They give our life meaning. But I get that they're not for everyone. I had one because I wanted to play it smart but later regretted it. But that's just me. @JaneCas
