this
 essay, I will discuss the merits and demerits of the above topic; personally ,speaking I am against
this
 decision. There is a significant increase in western countries where partners prefer not to have
children
. There are many reasons for it.
First
 and foremost, couples are not ready to shoulder the responsibility of bearing
children
. They feel that
children
 will be cumbersome, as they will be an obstruction to their careers and lifestyle.
Moreover
,
this
 added responsibility will impact their finances , as raising a child requires extra expenditure, as it
also
 demands a lot of time, care and energy. In today’s ,scenario
this
 may look like the perfect solution not to have kids.
Nevertheless
, the biggest drawback for the couple who decide not to be parents is that they would not have an heir to continue their family legacy.

 release the thrill and enjoy being parents. Another point to consider is that their lifetime hard work of earning money will, unfortunately, go to the government, if they do have a legal

 syndrome.

 the decision to have no
children
 after marriage is an individual's choice, having
children
 has its own charm and benefits because
children
 bring stability and happiness in a couple's life.
