>>A healthy family is one where the marriage is at the center, not the kids.<<

You are absolutely right. My wife and I say, “We were a couple before we had kids, and nothing should change.”

Relationships are doomed once parents start putting their children between them.

Having said that though, this article is slightly scary. As our society becomes more and more selfish, we’ll see fewer and fewer kids.

We got married young and started raising children young. Never regretted a moment of it!

Good comments! Except...

Are you calling me selfish for not having children? I’ve never understood that argument. Maybe it’s because parents feel they are sacrificing so much for their kids that they can’t stand the thought of someone else not having to make those same sacrifices? Then that would simply be jealousy and self-righteousness.
