In my highschool class, there are exactly two people who remain unmarried and without children. I am one of them. The other is a Doctor of Law. Our reasons for remaining in this state are the same: we are aware of what the consequences are, and we have concluded that it is not for us.
I plan to have children eventually, but I will never get married. She feels the same way.
The expectations of the herd are often to conform, and in doing so, stop pointing out to the herd that they might not have the end-all, be all of truth, which makes them nervous.
If you don't want to get married, or get married right now, no shame in that. If you don't want to have kids, or have kids right now, no shame in that either. Do what works for you.
