The reason why marriage and kids are so important is because if we don't have kids or just have 1 kid, what does that mean?
Exponential Decay (should have learned it in math)
What it is, is that we steadily decrease our population.
Wife and Husband, but no kids/1 kid.
That's 1-2 less people.
If that keeps on happening, what will happen within 50-100 years. (If earth lasts that long).

Now I'm not saying we should get married to just f*ck and have kids. But saying "I don't want to have kids because I want time to myself and my husband" is pretty selfish I think.

My 2 cents.

whats wrong with population levels leveling out right now? Why do you think China has a 1 child per family law??? There are too many people on this earth for earth to naturally support all of them. This is part of the reason why we have poverty and starvation. I don't see a problem with pop levels evening off, maybe even decreasing a little. Might give those of us on earth now a chance at a better life that don't already have one. The other thing to not having kids, is some married couples realize that children aren't what they want and know that they will not be able to take care of the child the way they should. It's actually an act of responsiblity. I wish more parents would be responsible for their actions or inactions.
And there is nothing wrong with being selfish...there is just a time and a place for it!
