A well thought out and interesting article as usual. The part about communication is great. I have to admit though, as someone who's married with kids, my initial thought was "what marriage advice would I possibly have needed for the years before we had kids?" Sleeping in on weekends, working late on any given day if we wanted to, deciding to go on a weekend vacation and packing our bags in under five minutes. I guess we may have had some contentious issues back then, but I can't recall any. :-) Here's to another happy six years for you guys!

Back to the full conversationI think a key to happiness is focusing on helping others instead of focusing primarily on yourself. I think married couples without kids can easily get caught up in the trap of just thinking about themselves. Having kids just unintentionally and forcibly ends up taking the focus off of yourself. You seem to accomplish this through your blog, seminars and videos.

You're right! I'm definitely playing on easy mode with no kids. That said I do see a lot of kid-free couples have way more issues than they probably should.
