Yes, perhaps, but it's well-established that having children strains a relationship like nothing else. The simple way to make it easier to be happily married is not to have children, but this advice will likely not be followed -- it contradicts human nature.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoThat strain is maybe due to a dysfunctional idea of marriage at present. That can be changed.
- lutusp 13y agoYes, in a two-step process: 1. Make people aware that marriage isn't remotely how it's popularly portrayed -- it's more a business arrangement than a romantic fantasy. 2. Popularize the idea that it's natural and expected, not a problem to be solved, that nearly half the population is single.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoThe 2nd is your opinion. Lots of single guys I know are miserable. There definitely an under-served population here, and saying its natural and expected isn't the whole solution.
