With the progress of society and the change of people's concepts, more and more couples choose to become the Dink family, that is, they choose not to have children after marriage.
This choice has far-reaching implications for both individuals and families. Below, we will explain their real experiences and feelings based on the identities of four people of different genders, ages, and years of marriage.
Couple A: Mr. Li (40 years old, male) and Ms. Wang (38 years old, female).
Mr. Li and Ms. Wang have been married for 10 years, and they are a typical urban Dink couple. When they decided to become the Dinks, they were on the rise in their careers, pursuing freedom and a high quality of life.
We enjoy the uninhibited world of two, traveling a lot and exploring new things. Without children, we can focus more on each other and our own interests. Mr. Li said frankly.
However, as time went on, they also began to face some challenges. "When we see our friends sharing their children's growth on social media, we sometimes feel lonely and envious. Ms. Wang revealed.
Husband and wife B: Mr. Zhang (50 years old, male) and Ms. Zhao (47 years old, female).
Mr. Zhang and Ms. Zhao decided to become Dinks when they got married, and it has been 20 years since then. The reasons they chose Dink were mainly due to work stress and uncertainty about the future.
As we get older, we begin to feel a sense of emptiness and loneliness. Seeing our friends give their love and energy to their children, we sometimes wonder if we are missing out on the joy of being parents. Mr. Zhang sighed.
Husband and wife C: Mr. Liu (60 years old, male) and Ms. Sun (58 years old, female).
Mr. Liu and Ms. Sun are an elderly couple who decided not to have children when they got married. Now, they have been together for almost 30 years.
We've always enjoyed the two of us, often going for walks, watching movies, and doing housework together. But as we get older, we begin to feel a sense of loneliness and loss. Ms. Sun said frankly.
Husband and wife D: Ms. Chan (30 years old, female) and Mr. Huang (29 years old, male).
Ms. Chan and Mr. Wong are young Dink couples who decided not to have children soon after they got married. They pursue a free and independent lifestyle.
We are passionate about traveling, trying new things, and pursuing our dreams. Without the drag of children, we can focus more on our careers and quality of life. Miss Chen said.
However, they are also aware of the risks that can come with living a life in Dink. "Over time, we realized that Dink was a trade-off option. We need to make sure that our emotional bond is strong enough to cope with life's challenges and changes. Mr. Huang added.
The experiences of these four couples are different, but they all reveal a common truth: choosing Dink is a life path full of challenges and opportunities.
When deciding to become a Dink, couples need to be thoughtful and fully consider their values and life goals. Only in this way can they find their own happiness and fulfillment in Dink's life.
