I want Children! What if my Partner doesn’t?

For people who want children, being in a relationship with someone who doesn’t want children can mean a tough decision – should they sacrifice a happy relationship just because they want children? Or should they give up on having children to keep the relationship? Singles looking for a partner that they can one day have children with face a different dilemma: How can they find singles who also want children?

A recent study not only found out what the reasons are that prevent people from wanting children and which factors have an influence on their decision. More than 1.000 childless women and men were questioned.

The results of the study should also answer questions lingering on the minds of people who want children:

• If you are single and want children, you can find a partner who shares your wishes.
  The overwhelming majority of people who don’t have children, want to. 66 % say „I definitely want children“ or „I maybe want children”. Out of those who don’t have, but want children 44 % don’t have children yet, because they haven’t found the right partner yet. Single men in particular are looking for women who want children. More than half of the men questioned are looking for a partner to have children with. Only 33 % are looking for a father for their future children.
