Several Marriages survive without children, especially these days,


But most are due to "Circumstances beyond their control",


And I'm certain that if they could have it any other way they would have chosen otherwise.

richylaw:
It is quite possible for marriage to survive without children, but that is if you are outside the confines of the african context and you are totally let loose of ancenstral and cultural influence of our african nourished traditions.

You are right. Some women get scared if there are no kids, why? fine the marriage will be a rollercoaster all the way and the couple damn nay-sayers. What if the husband eventually dies, what will happen? either random kids will show up later as the man's kids or the woman will be ratted out of her husband's house meaning she has no say on his properties despite jer investing her sweat.Its africa again.

The sole purpose of marriage is to recreate

It can survive if the man is the one with the problem (in most cases)
