For Divya Maben and her husband Nithin Koshy, the idea of raising a child in the current scenario is daunting. “The world today is far more complex and challenging than when we were growing up,” Maben tells Mid-day.com
This Bangalore-based DINK couple met through work and fell in love. After dating for a year, the two decided to tie the knot and have been enjoying childless marital bliss for the past five years.
Maben reveals that even as a child she never wanted to have children and she always wanted a partner who wanted the same things in life. “As soon as I knew that our relationship was getting serious and we were thinking about marriage, I ensured to have these conversations with Nithin. It was important for both of us to be honest about what we expected out of this marriage. The process of communicating to my husband about wanting a childless marriage was much easier than most people might think. Besides, it also reinforced that we had found the right partner in each other."
