I do not know if this is a false alarm or if it is because most of my peers are having babies now. However after reading one of the interviews in this book, I reckon I am more inclined to "in love with the idea of having children than what it means to have them". Like marriage, children is a commitment. A good read and helps one to think deeper and stay anchor into the conviction of having a childless marriage by choice. Great information for couples without children. I was able to meet the author I was able to meet the author a few years back and thanked her for writing this book.
Gives a good perspective to families of two. Those that choose to be child-free by choice.
A good illustration of how it works without A good illustration of how it works without children. And it may really work good. I just wonder if the author ever met a couple who were sorry for not having children, and why she did not include their story. Since the book is done as actual interviews, it dispels many of the myths about childless couples. For example, what influenced them to not have children, what their life is like without children, how they view couples with children.
At times, some of the questions seem repetitious, and even the answers from different couples seem the same. Overall though, very enlightening and worth the price. I like books that you can go back to and re-read and maybe take some new perspective. This was a one-time read and not interesting at all. It did not help with my fence sitting to have kids or not. I threw it out. See all 15 reviews. Most recent customer reviews.

Amazon Inspire Digital Educational Resources. This book published in still feels current. I would recommend this book to those wondering if married life without children can work out. The common myths attached to the childfree couples; regret and selfishness; do not ring true as the lives of these couples are portrayed through the interviewers lens.

I would rate this book a 3. Feb 19, Lauren rated it really liked it Shelves: This book is to childfreedom what "The Truth About Witchcraft Today" is to paganism in that when someone expresses an interest in knowing more about why you are the way you are, you can simply hand them this book and let them discover for themselves from other happily childfree couples what you've been saying all along. The author even provides her e-mail address, laurac inetarena. This book features interviews with couple who have chosen to not have children. The author interviewed dozens of couples, and asked them all mostly the same questions.

Many of the respondents' answers were quite similar, so it was somewhat repetitive. It was an okay read, but a bit dated. I'd like to read a modern take on why more people today are choosing to remain childless. I was expecting more interviews with people who struggled with the decision of whether or not to have children, but most of the individuals seemed to say that they'd never felt like having children Sep 24, Julie added it.
A quick read of interviews.

If anything, I wish the interviews had encompassed older couples, beyond their 70s. Apr 21, Stephanie rated it it was ok.
I liked reading everyone's answers to the same questions. About 20 pages of text were missing. The pictures were on the page and the page numbers but nothing else.
