I did not know that.
We (he and I) have been together for over 37 years, married for 34-1/2 years, but I did not know that having children was the primary goal of marriage. We had many reasons for being together and getting married, but having children was not #1. Don't think it was even in the top 5.
I guess I was under the mistaken belief that 2 constitutes a family, and more than 2 just constitutes a
bigger family. Actually I always thought that even just 1 was a part of
some family, nuclear, extended or otherwise.
