I got married at 39 and we just had a little girl this year, I’m 43 now.

Marriage is the best thing that ever happened to me, except for the birth of our baby.

I used to think that being single and “free” was the way to go, because I had been lied to for so long by the popular culture.

It terrifies me to think of how empty and meaningless my life would have been had I remained single and childless. And I enjoyed being single, but to grow old single and childless?

Raising children is every bit a part of man’s instincts and biology as is his sex drive. And in the long run, it’s more of a pleasure, too.
