Marriage is nothing, is not even awesome or good as thought, the most important things is to have children xo that you see who will help you when you're old.

You just described me and I love dogs too, but do not have one yet. I am also certain we are not neighbours. grin

Believe it or not, there are women like me and her, who do not have that maternal desire at all, it's not pretence, it's not spiritual, it's not feminism and it's not medical or health related either. We just do not desire children.

To answer your question/topic of the thread - marriage and children are life choices, not goals or achievements we all have to meet in order to unlock happiness or the adult phase of our lives. I saw this on NL some time ago and I absolutely agreed with it then and still do.


So, how do you know the lack of maternal desire is not spiritual? What do you know about spirituality? What do you know about the principles on which this universe run? What do you know about why you act the way you do? How did you know your lack of desire for children is not related to an earlier traumatic experience or a transgenerational trauma?


I like your intelligence on NL. But on this score, babes, you are very far off the mark.

I don't have a problem with your decision, just wana make a quick correction
Marriage & kids are beyond what anyone should consider choices because its more of a default programming in humans... its either in you or not choice don't count here.
In production line there is alway bound to be factory defect ... so i understand if someone don't want kids.
Goals is whatever you call it while achievement is whatever the society dictate it to be ... as far as society is concern marriage & kids naa achievement.

which word in that sentence means marriage? grin



thou shall not fornicate
thou shall not commit adultery
somewhere in the bible it says if you can't hold body go n marry (not d actual words)
a child out of wedlock was even referred to as a bastard

If all these put together does not compel people to marry or enforce marriage then what else can it mean.

I would argue that it’s feminist to live the life you (as a woman) want on your own terms.

Before feminism, dads collectively decided for you when and to whom you could get married to. Your mom usually has little say in the matter. And you definitely had no say.

Daughters were for father’s economic gain.
You couldn’t decide if you wanted to pause marriage and obtain a degree first.
If your marriage would expand your father’s empire today, then you’re getting married today. No if’s and buts.

So love, the right to not get married if you don’t want to, is feminist AF. And we all love it kiss . That ability to make that choice for yourself.


Please specify the society where daughters were used for financial gain, because that is not the case anywhere around here!

Only in a small-minded world will gender be discussed with exclusivity.

Marriage is not a requirement for ANY MAN OR WOMAN. All a matter of CHOICE! kiss

There’s a woman in my COMPOUND, she’s 33 and insists she doesn’t want children because she has “no maternal desires.”

She got a puppy, has birthday parties for the dog, claims the dog experiences child phases, and cooks meals for the dog every day.

Gonna be sad when the dog dies.

I don't think it's compulsory, however, if God who made Man and saw that it was not good for him to be alone, then he must know best why its good to have some sort of human companionship.

For the woman, its kinda tougher because her creation was primarily for companionship to the man, children, etc things that are easier achieved in the confines of marriage. Sometimes, I think this is the curse of being a woman sometimes, that innate desire to be loved and love drives them searching in wrong places leading to some of their death and derail.

Genesis 3:16
To the woman He said:
"I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you."
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

I also think Monogamy has added fuel to this fire If Polygamy is the norm like it is in the old bible days and still is in the Arab nations. Many women will be happy being a wife, have a child or 2, and enjoy the gift of life.

Lastly, if she is happy that way. More grace to her, but she should not complain in future if she finds it unberable.
