Would you ever marry someone who never wants kids?

    A medical issue had a lot to do with not having more myself. One pregnancy kicked my butt, & even if it could've happened again, I wouldn't want to go through it again. Of course now that I'm 40, I wouldn't regardless.

    Like Bmanz said, there is a difference between not being able to & or wanting them. People seem to be a bit more understanding when it's something you don't really have any control over. If a man had a similar issue, I wouldn't hold it against him.

    I would marry someone who didn't want children but I do want to adopt so that would be my second choice (child-free). A man who, like Tam said, already has his own munchikins would be fine provided there wasn't a ton of baby momma drama.

    Not being 100% pro-children doesn't necessarily mean the poster has to be a white male,come on!
    I am sure most of us have at one point seen or experienced pairs of parents before who may have better waited a bit to have kids (because they still put their own wants before their children's needs,etc,or maybe not able to really love their children due to their own bad childhood and issues from that etc ).
    I bet in all races and both genders there are a few people who are undecided about kids or don't want any at their current point of life.

    You are making this a little too easy. This may be right for the majority,but keep in mind there are billions of people in the world,and we are not all the same.
    I personally know of a few people who are in their late twenties to mid thirties,who are very interested in travelling,seeing various places in the world,and at that point they would see children as a stop sign to their dreams. Same goes for very career minded people/couples. They may post-pone wanting to have kids,until they reach a point where they just won't even begin to try.
    There are various reasons why some people would prefer to not have kids,at least for a good while.And that sure are not only white men or white people.
