What will you do if you are married for twelve years without a child  

I think it would depend on the situation, if the fact that we didn't have children was because he didn't want any although I did, then that would be a problem. But if the decision was mutual, or there was a medical reason why we couldn't conceive, then I would not leave. If your cousin doesn't have a problem with it, then that is all that matters, his family isn't married to her, he is, and if he is happy then they should be happy.

I think if he is happy with his wife and the relationship is loving and good he should tell the family to mind their own business.

the family shouldn't put pressure on him its none of their business, if he wants to be married to this woman thats his business

I do not understand why family members would want someone who sounds like they are in a good steady marriage to get a divorce. Not everyone wants to have kids and some people just can not have them. However if the problem is that your cousin wants kids and his wife does not, I would understand why your family would want him to get a divorce. So, to answer you're "what would you do?" question, If I were happily married to someone and I did not have any problems with the marriage, I would not get divorced. Sometimes extended family members feel that they should have a say in everything you do, when in reality they do not.

I would tell them to mind their own business and if fate/God? your belief wanted us to have kids or not it would have happened.; Though I would have adopted a child by that point personally.

I had a friend who put off having children for a while so they could enjoy their married life. When no babies came after 5 years, they decided to adopt a baby. I have 3 boys and I have no need to worry.

Well I think it depends on their mutual desire for a baby. You needed to supply more info. However, if the wife had said they would eventually have a baby and now she doesn't that is a problem. If your cousin is ok with not having a child then why is the family getting involved. Now if either person has a medical problem than they should stick it out if they truly love each other they will. They could also adopt if worse came to worse. I believe from the tone of your discussion there is more too this than what is mentioned.

If he has been in stable healthy relationship for 12 years his family should be praising both of them to no end. If they don't feel like they need children - great - If they want children there are plenty who need homes. In his shoes I would tell me family to love us for who we are.

Wow! In my culture it would be outrageous for a family to pressure someone to divorce their spouse because she didn't have a child! I know many married couples that don't want to have kids ever. And if a couple does want a child, but they can't get pregnant they often turn to fertility treatments or to adoption. Divorce isn't really ever considered!

Hey,

Well I wouldn't really see an issue in this, but if they are looking to have a baby, then it would be about time, because it is hard to raise a family if you are old. I personally think that I wouldn't wait 12 years. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
