I got married late. I was very independent and had trouble with male headship because of being raised a Witness. It took me a long time to see not all men were domineering like the Witness guys. I met my husband at work and he's so refreshing! He treats me as an equal partner; none of the headship and in subjection gargage I was raised with.
By then, I began having "female problems" that made it too late to try for a child. Hubby and I weren't really keen on becoming parents in our forties anyway, but I think we would've had one child if we'd found each other in our thirties. I really have no regrets. We've had a great time traveling the world and enjoying life, doing whatever we feel like without watching kids when we come home from work tired and stressed. We know we may be missing out on some experiences, but we're pretty happy with our lives.
Sometimes I worry about who'll help us when we're old, but hey- my Granny had five kids, and she's still in an assisted living home, so having kids is no guarantee. I figure that's where we'll end up some day, right along side lots of people who have kids!
